The Beverly Hills, California, judge who presided over Lindsay Lohan's recent probation-violation case has removed herself from further proceedings involving the actress after allegations of improper practices.

According to TMZ, Judge Marsha Revel contacted various medical experts and participants in Lohan's case without notifying the former Disney star's lawyer or the district attorney's office. A source in the D.A.'s office reportedly told TMZ that Revel stepped down from the case in lieu of the prosecution's impending request to have her removed.

The move is notable because the judge made headlines when she went against the recommendation of experts in Lohan's case and ordered the troubled star to a different rehab facility after she completed her prison term.

Lohan was slated to check into the Morningside Recovery treatment center, however, Revel changed the location, ultimately selecting the UCLA Medical Center instead. Reports suggested Revel was concerned drugs could be attained by Lohan at the recommended treatment center.

Sources told TMZ that Lohan's legal team and prosecutors met Friday to discuss their issues with Revel. Among the complaints aired during the conversation was that the judge contacted representatives at Morningside Recovery on two occasions without properly disclosing her actions. Revel also allegedly met with Robert Shapiro, the attorney Lohan briefly hired after her lawyer in the case quit. The judge, TMZ reported, failed to notify the prosecution of the Shapiro meeting in her chambers.

Revel was particularly harsh with Lohan during the troubled actress' sentencing, scolding her after she pleaded for leniency. "It's like someone who cheats but doesn't think it's cheating if they don't get caught," the judge said.
