A judge who determines that she is disqualified must recuse herself and not further participate in the proceeding, unless the disqualification is waivable and waived in writing. ( 170.3, subd.

If grounds for disqualification first arise or are first learned by the judge after the judge has ruled in a proceeding but before she has completed judicial action in that proceeding, the judge shall disqualify herself unless the grounds for disqualification are waived.
