COMMENT TO 2018 AMENDMENTS This rule has been amended consistent with the stylistic changes to the civil rules. The rule now specifically lists applicable local civil rules with roman numeral designations; the omission of a local civil rule with a roman numeral designation is an indication that the rule is not applicable. COMMENT Any reference herein to a particular Rule, as, for example, "Rule 5", comprehends both the original Rule and any addenda thereto, e.g., "Rule 5-I".
