N.D.R.Civ.P.
RULE 66. RECEIVERS APPOINTED BY DISTRICT
COURTS
An action wherein a receiver has been appointed shall not be dismissed except by
order of
the court. A foreign receiver shall have capacity to sue in any district court but his rights are
subordinate to those of local creditors. The practice in the administration of estates by
receivers or by other similar officers appointed by the court shall be in accordance with the
appropriate statute of this state and the practice heretofore followed in the courts of this state
or as provided in rules promulgated by the district courts. In all other respects the action in
which the appointment of a receiver is sought or which is brought by or against a receiver
is governed by these rules.
These rules govern an action in which the appointment of a receiver is sought or a receiver sues or is sued. The practice in administering an estate by a receiver or a similar court-appointed officer must accord with state statute or with a local rule. A foreign receiver has capacity to sue in any district court, but the receiver's rights are subordinate to those of local creditors. An action in which a receiver has been appointed may be dismissed only by court order.
