(3) In the event a filing is stricken or removed from the court record, the clerk shall remove the stricken or removed filing from the record and, except as stated in subsection (b) and (d), enter a docket entry that includes the Transaction ID or eFile Portal ID and reads, “Disregard. Filing stricken.” The clerk shall notify the parties when a filing is stricken or removed from the court record. (4) Filings that are stricken or removed from the court record and refiled may relate back to the date of the stricken or removed filing at the discretion of the judge. (b) Duplicate eFilings. Notwithstanding Rule 6(a), duplicate eFilings may be removed from the court record by the clerk at any time. In the event a duplicate filing is removed, the clerk shall include a docket entry that includes the Transaction ID or eFile Portal ID and indicates why the filing was removed. (c) eFiling Errors. Documents filed with the incorrect case number, case type, or document type may be changed by the clerk without approval by the Filer. In the event the clerk changes a filing in accordance with this subsection, the clerk shall provide notice to the Filer. (d) Filing in the Wrong Court. (1) Documents eFiled in the wrong court that do not initiate the case may be removed by the clerk upon request from the Filer. In the event a filing is removed pursuant to this subsection the clerk shall not include a docket entry that reads, “Disregard. Filing stricken.” (2) Documents eFiled in the wrong court that initiate a case (e.g., complaint, petition, etc.) may not be stricken or removed from the court record until those documents have been received into the Case Management System. Once a case-initiating document has been received into the Case Management System, the Filer must file a motion and a proposed notice closing the case and state that the filing was filed in the wrong court. Upon filing of the motion, the clerk shall issue a notice closing the case. If any money or fees were paid to the incorrect court, those fees shall be refunded upon proof from the Filer that the documents were filed in the correct court. This subsection shall only apply if the Filer files the motion and proposed notice prior to the filing of a responsive pleading. (3) This subsection (d) applies to errors only, and shall not apply to a change of venue in the district court as set forth by state statute and the Wyoming Rules of Civil Procedure. (e) Compliance Responsibility. — Neither the clerk nor the judge is required to review eFiled documents to ensure compliance with the Wyoming Rules Governing Access to Case Records.
