The civil cover sheet and the information contained herein neither replaces nor supplements the filings and service
of pleadings or other papers as required by law. This form, approved by the Wyoming Supreme Court, is required

complete the form as follows:
I. Caption. Enter names of the plaintiff and defendant and the address for the plaintiff. If the plaintiff or
defendant is a government agency, use only the full name or standard abbreviations. If the plaintiff or defendant is
an official within a governmental agency, identify first the agency and then the official, giving both name and title.
II. Nature of Suit. Place an “X” in the appropriate box. ONE AND ONLY ONE BOX SHOULD BE
CHECKED. If the nature of suit cannot be determined, because the cause of action fits more than one nature of suit,
select the most determinative. Some descriptions may require clarification. See below:
