Jurisdiction: WY

Bluebook Citation: Wyo. R. Civ. P. 71.1

in contempt. History: Added February 2, 2017, effective March 1, 2017. Source. — This rule is similar to Rule 70 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Divestment of title. — Former husband’s refusal to execute the documents necessary to effectuate the sale of marital real property as ordered by the court constituted misconduct pursuant to Wyo. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(3), and the court appropriately divested the former hus- band of his interest in the property. Walker v. Walker, 925 P.2d 1305, 1996 Wyo. LEXIS 160 (Wyo. 1996). Partition by consent enforced. — Al- though a partition agreement differed from the statutory scheme of Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 1-32- 104, the agreement was properly enforced un- der Wyo. R. Civ. P. 70 and Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 1-32-108 when a co-tenant failed to abide by agreement. The “deemed denied” rule of Wyo. R. Civ. P. 6(c)(2) did not divest district court of subject matter jurisdiction to enter partition order because no showing of error was made and the motion at issue was interlocutory so that the court retained jurisdiction to enter the order enforcing partition after the original mo- tion was deemed denied. Bixler v. Oro Mgmt., L.L.C., 2006 WY 140, 145 P.3d 1260, 2006 Wyo. LEXIS 152 (Wyo. 2006).
