This section authorizes the Supreme Court to make general practice, procedure, and evidence rules for federal district courts and courts of appeals. Those rules may not change substantive rights and may define when a district-court ruling is final for appeal.
(a) The Supreme Court may make general practice and procedure rules and evidence rules for cases in United States district* courts, including proceedings before their magistrate judges, and in courts of appeals.
(b) These rules may not reduce, expand, or change any substantive right. After the rules take effect, laws that conflict with them no longer have force or effect.
(c) These rules may define when a district-court ruling is final for purposes of an appeal under section 1291.
The Supreme Court shall have the power to prescribe general rules of practice and procedure and rules of evidence for cases in the United States district* courts (including proceedings before magistrate judges thereof) and courts of appeals.
Such rules shall not abridge, enlarge or modify any substantive right. All laws in conflict with such rules shall be of no further force or effect after such rules have taken effect.
Such rules may define when a ruling of a district court* is final for the purposes of appeal under section 1291 of this title.
