(a) Successive Applications.(1)In General. In any action, if an application for any order or writ is denied in whole or in part, neither the party nor the party’s attorney may make any subsequent application to any other judge, except by appeal to a higher court.(2)Second Order Vacated; Sanctions. A writ or order obtained in violation of this section must be immediately vacated by the judge who issued it. The court must sanction a party and the attorney seeking an order or writ in violation of this rule as it may determine appropriate, including by assessing costs and attorney’s fees incurred by a party in defense of the writ or order.(3)Constitutional Writ After Disclosure Allowed. A second application seeking a constitutional writ may be made if the first application and adverse ruling on the application are disclosed to the second judge. Likewise a constitutional writ may be sought from the same judge, or judge succeeding the same judge, in an action after the application was originally denied.(4)Application to the Same Judge or Successor. A party or attorney may renew an application to the same judge, or a succeeding judge, in an action after the application was originally denied; but this rule does not create the right to file a motion for reconsideration except as provided in subsection (b) of this rule.(b) Motion for Reconsideration.(1)In General.
