Hi,
Judicial Activism is when a judge makes a ruling based on personal perference; not on a passed ruling, precedent, or an existing law.
When a judge makes a ruling on a precedent, it is said to be called precedent.
So, to answer your question,

A judge who relies on a precedent set by another judge is making a ruling based on "a precedent".
Actually, you answered your own question.
I hope this helps you, and if you need to clarify what you meant, please post back.
