                                   LMAR 4.2
                                   DISCOVERY


     In determining when additional discovery beyond that directly authorized
by MAR 4.2 is reasonably necessary, the Arbitrator shall balance the benefits
of discovery against the burdens and expenses.  The Arbitrator shall consider
the nature and complexity of the case, the amount of controversy, values at
stake, the discovery that has already occurred, the burdens on the party from
whom discovery is sought, and the possibility of unfair surprise which may
result if discovery is restricted.  Authorized discovery shall be conducted in
accordance with the civil rules except that motions concerning discovery shall
be determined by the Arbitrator.


[Amended Effective September 1, 2011]
