State Court Stipulation and Proposed Order - General Civil (Wyoming)

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER

ROUTING CHECK — COMPLETE BEFORE DRAFTING

☐ Scheduling-order change: W.R.C.P. 16(b)(4) requires good cause and the judge's consent.

☐ Continuance: U.R.D.C. 201 states that cases will not be continued upon counsel's stipulation; written good cause is required.

☐ Other rule or court-order deadline: U.R.D.C. 202 generally bars modification by counsel's agreement alone unless the Wyoming Rules of Civil Procedure permit it.

☐ Discovery procedure only: W.R.C.P. 29 permits specified discovery stipulations unless the court orders otherwise, but court approval is required when an extension would interfere with the deadline for completing discovery, hearing a motion, or trial.

☐ Pleading amendment: W.R.C.P. 15(a)(2) permits the opposing party's written consent or the court's leave after the matter-of-course period; a passed scheduling deadline also implicates W.R.C.P. 16(b)(4).

☐ Dismissal signed by all appearing parties: W.R.C.P. 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) allows a stipulation of dismissal without a court order, subject to the rule's listed exceptions and any applicable statute. Do not request an unnecessary proposed order unless case-specific law or the court requires one.

☐ Dismissal requiring court action: Outside Rule 41(a)(1), dismissal at the plaintiff's request is by court order on terms the court considers proper.

☐ Consolidation or separate trial: W.R.C.P. 42 assigns that decision to the court; party agreement is a request, not an order.

CURRENT-LAW ALERT: The Wyoming Supreme Court entered a July 21, 2026 order amending W.R.C.P. 41 effective September 21, 2026. This template states the rule effective on August 14, 2026. Recheck Rule 41 before a filing or dismissal on or after September 21, 2026.
