Since I just learned that this is not a Newbie I would say that there is a
communication problem here.
 
Instruct anyone that calls a judge prior to the election to address it as
.... we will be holding an election for judges. I would like to nominate you
for the slate. Would you be available if elected? the date of the assignment
in question is .....
 
Then make it clear to the membership that a designated person will contact
the elected judge. There are many times when you have a slate and the first
three are not available.

Lyn makes some excellent points - and I agree with her 
assessment

Is there a procedure in place? 
Is this person a newbie who is clueless about the procedure?
Is the person merely asking if the judge is available and the judges 
are assuming they are inquiring because they are representing the 
club?  

You need to speak calmly with the person, with out being 
accusatory and find out why they contaacted the judges.  It could 
be innocent.  let's not ask for a judge who is not available.  Or it 
could be something else.

before deciding what to do, assess the situation through proper 
channels.  Have the person in charge of judges selection speak 
with the person.  You could even thank them for trying to help but 
explain that things are not done in this manner.

Before you throw the member out, or discipline him/her in front of the
entire membership (making a point out of their unapproved phone calls),
take a positive approach. Find out if this person was contacting these
judges to find out their availability so that he/she could nominate the
judge for your slate. Thereby not nominating a judge that was not
available. If this is the case your Board should set guide-lines as to how
to nominate a judge or the steps to take or not take prior to the
nomination. But these guide-lines should be done in a "General Statement
" for the entire membership to follow, not just a chosen few. Or speak to
this person one on one and explain the procedure. To do anything with
negativity in front of the entire membership, with hurt you in a long run.
It's a turn-off to many and they may not come back, it can chase a Novice
person right out the door and for those that were thinking of volunteering
for a position or future events
