Introductory Statement

    (See Rule 84)

    1. The following forms are intended for illustration only. They are limited in number. No attempt is made to furnish a manual of forms. While these forms list allegations considered to be sufficient in a typical case, other proper allegations may be added or substituted as conditions may require. Each form assumes the action to be brought in the first judicial district, Laramie County.

    2. Except where otherwise indicated each pleading, motion, and other paper should have a caption similar to that of the summons, with the designation of the particular paper substituted for the word “Summons.” In the caption of the summons, of the complaint, and of orders to show cause, final orders, judgments or decrees, all parties must be named but in other pleadings and papers, it is sufficient to state the name of the first party on either side, with an appropriate indication of other parties. See Rules 4(b), 7(b)(2), and 10(a).

    3. Each pleading, motion, and other paper is to be signed in his individual name by at least one attorney of record (Rule 11). The attorney's name is to be followed by his address as indicated in Form 3. In forms following Form 3 the signature is not indicated.

    4. If a party is not represented by an attorney, the signature and address of the party are required in place of the name of the attorney.
