Rule 10 Privacy protections and access restrictions

(a) It is the responsibility of the Filer to ensure that protected personal data identifiers are omitted or redacted from documents in compliance with the Wyoming Rules Governing Access to Case Records.

(b) When the Wyoming Rules Governing Access to Case Records require a Filer to eFile both a redacted and unredacted version of a document, the Filer must designate the unredacted filing as restricted by typing in the document title field of the EFS, “Restricted – Unredacted.” The Filer must also indicate in the EFS’s “Note to Clerk” field, that the unredacted filing is restricted from public view by typing a note to the clerk, i.e., “Restricted-Unredacted.”

(c) eFiled documents intended to be confidential, but that do not fall under subsection (b), must be designated as restricted by typing in the document title field of the EFS, “Restricted” followed by the title of the document. The Filer must also indicate in the EFS’s “Note to Clerk” field, that the document is restricted from public view by typing a note to the clerk, i.e., “Restricted” followed by a specific citation to each applicable authority supporting the filing’s restriction from access.

(d) In those cases made confidential by statute, administrative rule, or court rule (e.g., juvenile, adoption cases), it is not necessary to designate filings as restricted as set forth in subsections (b) and (c).

(e) The clerk shall not be responsible for any eFiled document that is made public due to the Filer’s failure to designate a document as confidential as set forth in this Rule. Failure to comply with this Rule may result in sanctions as set forth in Rule 13.
