This Article is promulgated in part pursuant to W.S. 16-3-102(a)(i) (mandate to promulgate rules of practice and procedure).
(a) A person may represent itself, or may be represented either by a Wyoming attorney or by a qualified foreign attorney, in proceedings before the Commissioner.
(b) Each Wyoming attorney and each qualified foreign attorney shall file with the Commissioner a notice of appearance before representing a party in connection with a hearing under this Article. In the case of a qualified foreign attorney, the notice of appearance shall have no meaning or effect unless and until his associated Wyoming attorney shall have also filed with the Commissioner a notice of appearance. All notices of appearance shall set forth all facts necessary to determine that the attorney is either a Wyoming attorney or a qualified foreign attorney and is authorized to represent his client under this Section.
(c) Division counsel shall not be required to file a notice of appearance.
Unless required for the disposition of ex parte matters authorized by law, the Commissioner shall not consult directly or indirectly with any party regarding a submission, except as allowed under W.S. 16-3-111.
(a) If a person desires a copy of those portions of the recording of a hearing that are available for public inspection, it shall request the same in writing. Such request shall be delivered to the Commissioner, along with a fee that the Commissioner shall determine on a case-by-case basis to recoup to the Division the total cost of services and materials necessary to make the copy, including any editing necessary to prevent the disclosure of protected material. Upon receipt of the request and the required fee, the Commissioner shall provide such copy to the requesting party as soon as practicable.
(b) If a party desires that a hearing be transcribed by court reporter, it must so inform the Commissioner and the presiding officer in writing and make the necessary arrangements and pay all associated costs related to the same. In each such case, the court reporter shall not record protected material nor any proceedings that the party providing the court reporter is not permitted to attend.
