• Responding to a Wyoming complaint: 20 days, 30 if you were served out of stateWyoming Rule 12(a) gives 20 days after service of the summons and complaint to serve an answer, 30 days if service was made outside Wyoming or by publication, and 60 days if you waived service.
• Setting aside a Wyoming default judgment: one year, and four things to check in the file firstWyoming Rule 60(c) allows one year on the first three grounds — but the strongest arguments usually come from what Rule 55 required before judgment could be entered.
• The Wyoming motion to dismiss: twenty days to answer, fourteen after a denialWyoming Rule 12(b) carries the familiar seven defenses but gives only 20 days to answer — a day short of the federal period.
• Wyoming summary judgment: Rule 56.1 is a separate rule, and pinpoint citations are mandatoryWyoming Rule 56 follows the modern federal text, but the statement of material facts lives in its own rule — Rule 56.1 — and requires pinpoint citations from both sides.
• The Wyoming motion to compel: thirty days for everyone, and two courts that can hold a witness in contemptWyoming Rule 33 gives a defendant no extra time to answer interrogatories, and Rule 37(b)(1) lets a transferred deposition dispute be punished as contempt of either the court where the discovery was taken or the court where the case is pending.
• Wyoming subpoenas: an out-of-county witness gets paid after the trial, at the state per diemWyoming Rule 45 makes the subpoenaing party pay a witness from another county the state per diem after the hearing, and confines deposition attendance to the witness's own county.
