Impeachment was the action voted by the House of Representatives against Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase. However, the Senate didn't uphold the impeachment.
Each Justice is assigned one or more Circuits over which he or she is responsible for emergency petitions, stays, and certain other administrative duties that may require quick action from the Supreme Court. It is more expedient for a single justice to determine the disposition of certain motions than for the entire bench to convene, debate and vote on mundane issues (especially those that arise at odd hours).If the justice presiding over a particular Circuit believes circumstances of a motion or petition warrant the attention of the Court, he or she can present the matter for review.
First of all court need some proof of your case, so that court should take some action.

Surely it would be noticed by the other justices and action would be taken by the presiding president to remove that person from serving.
Action which is taken by a higher authority person using his own power is called a so moto action. for example if a chief justice took action against any matter happening in the country then it will be considered as his so moto action
No. The power of impeachment and trial belongs to Congress. The House of Representatives impeaches; the Senate conducts the trial. When the US President is tried in the Senate, however, the Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) presides. Under all other circumstances, the Vice-President presides over Senate trials.
A Supreme Court justice can be impeached, but a more likely course of action is that the justice would resignrather than face impeachment procedings, if the charges against him or her are legitimate.Supreme Court justices have no special immunity from prosecution, and may face a criminal trial, as well.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
