                           RULE 81
                  APPLICABILITY IN GENERAL
     (a) To What Proceedings Applicable. These rules govern
all civil proceedings except as provided in this rule.
These rules do not apply where inconsistent with rules or
statutes applicable to special proceeding or infractions.
These rules do not apply to proceedings in small claims
court.  In a court in which the proceedings are not recorded
and review is by a trial de novo, these rules apply to the
extent practicable; in these courts, rules referring to
recording or an appeal on the record should be disregarded.
     (b) Conflicting Statutes and Rules. Subject to the
provisions of section (a) of this rule, these rules
supersede all procedural statutes and other rules that may
be in conflict.
