Rule 7 Electronic service of documents

(a) Mandatory eService. In courts where eFiling is mandatory, every eFiled document must be eServed upon Registered Users, unless the court orders otherwise or the document is subject to the exceptions set forth in Rule 5(a)(2) or requires personal service pursuant to Rule 4 of the applicable procedural rules.

(b) Service on Non-Registered Parties. All participants in a case who are required to be served and who are not Registered Users must be served outside the EFS consistent with the applicable procedural rules.

(c) Time and completion of service.

(1) For party filings, when a Registered User eServes a document, the EFS will generate a notification to the Online Inbox of the parties served if they are Registered Users who have appeared in the action. Generation of the notice in the Online Inbox of the Registered User constitutes service, and paper service is unnecessary.

(2) For orders and judgments in district court –

(i) In accordance with Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 77, service of orders and judgments in district court shall be the responsibility of the clerk of district court.

(ii) When a judge’s chambers sends a document through the EFS, the EFS will generate a notification to the Online Inbox of the Registered User to whom the document is sent, and will designate the judge as the authorizer. This does not constitute service of the order in district court and shall only be considered a courtesy copy.

(iii) When the clerk of district court eServes a document, the EFS will generate a notification to the Online Inbox of the attorneys to whom the document is eServed and will designate the clerk of district court as the authorizer. Generation of the notice in the Online Inbox of the Registered User constitutes service in district court, and paper service is unnecessary.

(3) All NEFs are considered a courtesy. NEFs shall not constitute service and are provided solely as a convenience.

(d) eService of Discovery. Discovery documents may be eServed through the EFS’s “serve only” function but shall not be filed with the court.
