LOS ANGELES, California, United States?The Beverly Hills judge who sent troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan to jail has withdrawn from further hearings amid complaints over her handling of the case, officials said Wednesday.

Judge Marsha Revel, who last month ordered Lohan to spend six months in jail and rehabilitation over a probation violation, was accused by prosecutors of having improper contacts with the actress's defense team.

"She was having calls and discussions with people on the case and we were not present," according to Los Angeles District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Jane Robison.

Lohan's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, could not be immediately reached for comment.

Robison said Lohan's case will now be overseen by Judge Elden Fox, although no new court hearings are immediately scheduled in the case.

Lohan, 24, is currently undergoing a 90-day rehabilitation program at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. She served only 13 days of a three-month jail term behind bars for violating her probation in a pair of DUI cases.
