DISCOVERY SPECIAL MASTER (WASHINGTON STATE)
Pursuant to Rule 53.3 of the Superior Court Civil Rules, the court in which any action is pending, may appoint a special master either to preside at depositions or to adjudicate discovery disputes, or both. Such appointment may be made for good cause shown, upon the request of any party in pending litigation or upon the court’s own motion.
Retired Judge Thomas Padrick is available in limited circumstances for this assignment if all parties agree and if the court enters the appointment order.
