My response:

Yes. Write and file a Motion with the court, with your declaration and Points and Authorities based upon these newly discovered facts, to have the judge "recuse" himself from sitting on your case.

Besides the other parties involved, also, serve a copy upon the Presiding Judge of the courthouse.
