All communications, interviews, meetings, or arguments designed or reasonably calculated to influence judicial action or decision, where all interests to be affected by such action are not represented before the judge, is strictly prohibited. The judge, if inadvertently in receipt of such communication, will disclose said communication to all parties to the action.

(a) Exception is allowed where ex parte proceedings are allowed by tribal law, or where an order is required to prevent irreparable harm and the necessity for immediate action is clearly demonstrated.

(b) When preliminary or temporary orders are issued by the Court, the matter shall be assigned for prompt hearing on continuance of the order, and all interested parties afforded an opportunity to be heard.

An application for an order, allowed by these rules to be submitted ex parte or by consent, need not be noticed for hearing as described above, but shall instead be accompanied by a proposed order. Except as otherwise ordered in an individual case, every such application shall be submitted to the judge through the Clerk.
