Masters
A person appointed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 53 may sit within or outside the district. When

holding of the hearing, in full or a in part, outside the district, on terms and conditions
as are just.

History
PRE-2024 COMMITTEE NOTE The Committee believes that Local Civil Rule 53.1 serves a useful purpose by clarifying two subjects that are not dealt with in Fed. R. Civ. P. 53. 2024 COMMITTEE NOTE The Committee has amended Local Civil Rule 53.1 to remove outdated language and provisions relating to the appointment of masters to sit outside the district, as such a requirement is no longer necessary given the broad authority to review orders relating to special masters set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 53.
