Wyo. R. App. P. 9.06 (2026)

Rule 9.06. Abbreviated Opinions.

(a) The Supreme Court by unanimous vote may, sua sponte, enter an abbreviated opinion affirming or reversing the judgment or order of the district court or the chancery court for the reason that it is clear that affirmance or reversal is required because:

Rule 9.07 WYOMING COURT RULES 66

(1) the issues are clearly controlled by settled Wyoming law or federal law binding upon the states; (2) the issues are factual and there clearly is sufficient evidence to support the jury verdict or findings of fact below; (3) summary judgment was erroneously granted because a genuine issue of material fact exists; or (4) the issues are ones of judicial discretion and there clearly was or was not an abuse of discretion. (b) An abbreviated opinion will provide the ultimate disposition without a detailed statement of facts or law. Such abbreviated opinions shall be pub- lished. (c) A petition for rehearing of a case decided under this rule may be served and filed pursuant Rule 9.08.
