That is an act of contempt of court which can be punished by fines or even jail time if it is a recurring issue. If you want it addressed, however, you have to file an OSC re: Contempt. Also, with the huge pressures on limited court resources these days, do not expect a favorable outcome if it is only an isolated incident. Unless it is a recurring problem, the court will not be interested.
