Committee notes

URIP Rule 5 grants a party and any interested nonparty the right to file and serve an affidavit in opposition to impoundment. The affidavit should set forth why there is no good cause to issue an order. Interested nonparties need to file a notice of limited appearance, pursuant to URIP Rule 6(a), in pending cases.
