I have seen them appointed in Civil cases to deal with discovery issues, but never in a criminal case.
The special master was put in place so she would not be released before her indictment is handed down. Since her felony is nonviolent, the jail us under a federal court order to release such inmates within a specified time if they have not been indicted or have gone to trial.
