Okla. Stat. tit. 21, § 21-565.1: Trial court - Power to punish contempt - Censure -

Contempt proceedings.

A. The trial judge has the power to cite for contempt anyone

who, in his presence in open court, willfully obstructs judicial

proceedings. If necessary, the trial judge may punish a person

cited for contempt after an opportunity to be heard has been given.

B. Censure shall be imposed by the trial judge only if:

1. it is clear from the identity of the offender and the

character of his acts that disruptive conduct is willfully

contemptuous; or

2. the conduct warranting the sanction is preceded by a clear

warning that the conduct is impermissible and that specified

sanctions may be imposed for its repetition.

C. The trial judge, as soon as practicable after he is

satisfied that courtroom misconduct requires contempt proceedings,

should inform the alleged offender of his intention to institute

said proceedings.

D. Before imposing any punishment for contempt, the judge shall

give the offender notice of the charges and an opportunity to adduce

evidence or argument relevant to guilt or punishment.

E. The judge before whom courtroom misconduct occurs may impose

appropriate sanctions including punishment for contempt. If the

judge's conduct was so integrated with the contempt that he

contributed to it or was otherwise involved or his objectivity can

reasonably be questioned, the matter shall be referred to another

judge.
