another party to the proceedings; or
a Judge or an officer of the Court; or
a member of the staff of the Court;
in a manner that is abusive, threatening, unduly repetitious or otherwise inappropriate, the Court may, on its own motion, order that the conduct of any application for relief by the first party in the proceedings be stayed for a specified period of up to 6 months.
