82 to the legal issues raised before the agency, showing the nature of the controversy in which the legal issues arose; (e) A copy of the agency decision attached as an appendix; and (f) The name, file number and court in which any related petition for judicial review is pending. History: Amended May 4, 1999, effective October 1, 1999amended December 11, 2024, effective March 1, 2025. Comment. — New subsection (c) has been added to address the issue of identifying parties in accordance with the statutory definition. The change to (d) recognizes that this requirement would not apply to other than contested cases. The addition of subsection (f) is to give the court notice of related cases. Source. — Former Rule 72.1(f), W.R.C.P. (See notes following Rule 12.12.) Dismissal improper. — Trial court erred in dismissing pursuant to Wyo. R. App. P. 12.06 a police officer’s appeal of an order from a civil service commission dismissing the officer from service where the trial court’s conclusions that it had no authority to allow the officer to amend the notice of appeal, that it had very limited discretion in resolving the issue before it, and that it had no other choice but to dismiss the case were contrary to Wyo. R. App. P. 1.03. Cook v. Card (In re Cook), 2007 WY 178, 170 P.3d 122, 2007 Wyo. LEXIS 190 (Wyo. 2007). Dismissal for failure to comply with rule. — District court did not abuse its discre- tion in dismissing pro se litigant’s petition for review, where petition failed to meet even the most basic requirements of the rules of appel- late procedure, and district court carefully con- sidered petition before determining that it was simply too confusing to invoke the court’s juris- diction. Pinther v. Webb, 983 P.2d 1221, 1999 Wyo. LEXIS 115 (Wyo. 1999). Failure to include required material in notice of appeal. — Because plaintiff filed a notice of appeal which did not encompass the information required by this rule, rather than a petition for review, the district court did not abuse its discretion by invoking the dismissal sanction found in Rule 1.03, W.R.A.P. McEl- reath v. State ex rel. Wyoming Workers’ Com- pensation Div., 901 P.2d 1103, 1995 Wyo. LEXIS 157 (Wyo. 1995).
