                           RULE ER 615
                     EXCLUSION OF WITNESSES


    At the request of a party the court may order witnesses
excluded so that they cannot hear the testimony of other
witnesses, and it may make the order of its own motion. This rule
does not authorize exclusion of (1) a party who is a natural
person, or (2) an officer or employee of a party which is not a
natural person designated as its representative by its attorney,
or (3) a person whose presence is shown by a party to be
reasonably necessary to the presentation of the party's cause.


[Amended effective September 1, 1992.]
