(The Sanction and its Effect for Obstructing the Court)If a person obstructs courtroom order or exhibits other inappropriate behavior, the presiding judge may prohibit the person from entering, or order such a person to leave, the courtroom; if necessary, the person may be detained until the session is adjourned. The sanction, as described in the preceding paragraph, shall not be challenged. The provisions of the preceding two paragraphs apply mutatis mutandis when the presiding judge performs his duties outside the courtroom.
