Legal Question in Family Law in California

The court-appointed arbitrator in my case issued a restraining order against me on his own behalf in March, without an affadavit and without allowing a hearing. Superior Court refused his request to adopt his decision as a court order, in May. Arbitrator filled out CH-100 request for Civil Harassment Restraining Order, submitted it to judge directly, then dropped it. Arbitrator is now threatening me with jail if I violate the gag order stipulation in his restraining order. I'm very concerned about the arbitrator's erratic behavior, and would like to have a stay of judgment placed upon him while I file a statement of disqualification motion. Can I file a stay of judgment request ex parte?

Your post does not make sense. How can the arbitrator enforce an order that was dropped by the courts? If the court refuses to adopt his decision, there is no order.
