Rule 3-536. Disability of Judge

If, by reason of termination of office, absence, death, sickness, or other inability to act, a judge is unable to perform an act or duty in an action, any other judge authorized to act in that court may perform the act or duty if satisfied that the other judge can properly do so. Otherwise, the other judge shall grant a new trial or such other relief as justice requires.
