Wyoming Rules of Appellate Procedure

Rule: 13.01

Jurisdiction: WY

Bluebook Citation: Wyo. R. App. P. 13.01

THE PETITION FOR A WRIT OF REVIEW Cross references. — For appeals from courts of limited jurisdiction, see § 5-2-119. Conversion not appropriate. — Because two partial summary judgment orders in favor of a former wife relating to a child support arrearage were not final under Wyo. R. Civ. P. 54(b), an appeal was dismissed. Moreover, the appeal did not fall under Wyo. R. App. P. 1.05 nor was it the type that warranted conversion to a petition for a writ of review under Wyo. R. App. P. 13. Witowski v. Roosevelt, 2007 WY 70, 156 P.3d 1001, 2007 Wyo. LEXIS 76 (Wyo. 2007). Remedy for violation of constitutional rights. — Final judgments or orders of a dis- trict court entered upon petitions filed pursu- ant to chapter 14 of title 7, which provides a remedy for the violation of constitutional rights, will be considered in the Supreme Court only if in the form required by this rule. Such petitions may be accompanied by a request that counsel be appointed. Smizer v. State, 763 P.2d 1254, 1988 Wyo. LEXIS 140 (Wyo. 1988). Decisions of Parole Board. — Given the Wyoming legislature’s clear intent to prohibit such review, as expressed in § 7-13-402, it is quite likely the Wyoming supreme court would hold that judicial review of a decision of the Wyoming Board of Parole by writ of review is not permissible. Hamill v. Ferguson, 937 F. Supp. 1517, 1996 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 17115 (D. Wyo. 1996).
