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.
