Bluebook Citation: Wyo. R. Civ. P. 68
From Court Records. History: Added February 2, 2017, effective March 1, 2017. Source. — This rule is similar to Rule 67 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The purpose of this rule is to relieve the depositor of the responsibility for the funds and, in some circumstances, to stop the accrual of interest by authorizing a payment into the court. Parker v. Artery, 889 P.2d 520, 1995 Wyo. LEXIS 14 (Wyo. 1995). Tolling accrual of interest. — By tender- ing payment into the district court of the judg- ment amount as authorized by this Rule, party against whom judgment was rendered surren- dered control of the funds to the court, and the accrual of statutory interest ceased. Parker v. Artery, 889 P.2d 520, 1995 Wyo. LEXIS 14 (Wyo. 1995). Defendant’s good-faith deposit of the full amount of the judgment against her with the clerk of court during the pendency of the appeal of the case was an unconditional offer to per- form coupled with the ability to carry out the offer, and was sufficient to stop the accrual of interest. Crawford v. Amadio, 932 P.2d 1288, 1997 Wyo. LEXIS 37 (Wyo. 1997). Income tax liability for interest. — Eq- uity favors assigning any income tax liability for interest accruing while a judgment amount remains on deposit with the court to the party who will enjoy the benefit of the interest. Parker v. Artery, 889 P.2d 520, 1995 Wyo. LEXIS 14 (Wyo. 1995). Satisfaction of judgment. — When a judg- ment debtor has paid the judgment amount, the trial court may order that a satisfaction of judgment be entered. Stilson v. Hodges, 934 P.2d 736, 1997 Wyo. LEXIS 41 (Wyo. 1997). Authority of trial court. — The trial court had the authority to order a judgment debtor to submit the amount of the judgment debt to the clerk of the court and to order the clerk to enter a satisfaction after the debtor satisfied the judgment. Stilson v. Hodges, 934 P.2d 736, 1997 Wyo. LEXIS 41 (Wyo. 1997).
