Wyo. R. App. P. 14.05 (2026)

Rule 14.05. Pro Se Filings by Criminal Appellant Represented by Counsel.

In any appeal where a criminal appellant is represented by counsel, the appellant may not file any pro se brief, motion, or other pleading, with the following two exceptions: the appellant may file a pro se motion to terminate counsel’s representation in the appeal and/or the appellant may also file a motion for leave to consider a pro se supplemental brief, i.e., a brief in addition to the one filed by counsel. The motion for leave to file shall be accompanied by the proposed pro se supplemental brief and shall be contemporaneously served on appellant’s counsel of record and the State of Wyoming. If a pro se brief is presented for filing without a motion for leave to file the same, the clerk of court shall acknowledge receipt, retain the brief, and notify appellant, appel- lant’s counsel of record, and the State of Wyoming that the brief will not be filed or considered unless (1) appellant files the required motion for leave to file and (2) the Court grants the motion for leave to file.
