Text

These rules govern an action in which the appointment of a re-
ceiver is sought or a receiver sues or is sued. But the practice in
administering an estate by a receiver or a similar court-appointed
officer must accord with the historical practice in federal courts
or with a local rule. An action in which a receiver has been ap-
pointed may be dismissed only by court order.
