Rule 66 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

Rule 66 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is about Receivers. It is under Title VIII (Provisional and Final Remedies) of the Rules.

These rules govern an action in which the appointment of a receiver 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 appointed may be dismissed only by court order.
