(b) Separate Trials: The Court, in furtherance of
convenience or to avoid prejudice, or when separate trials will be
conducive to expedition or economy, may order a separate trial of
any one or more claims or defenses or issues, or of the tax
liability of any party or parties. The Court may enter appropriate
orders or decisions with respect to any such claims, defenses,
issues, or parties that are tried separately. As to severance of
parties or claims, see Rule 61(b).
