Wyoming Supreme Court

Clifford Brett Inskeep, Appellant (defendant) v. Andrea Rene Inskeep, Appellee (plaintiff)

April 7, 19881988 Wyo. LEXIS 42

Summary

The court affirmed the divorce decree after concluding that the district court acted within its discretion in denying both the motion to compel discovery and the motion for a continuance. The discovery request was made months after it could have been pursued, sought information already known to the parties, and was not shown to have prejudiced appellant. The continuance request was likewise untimely, rested partly on appellant's voluntary absence from the state, and did not establish good cause.

Holding

  • Motion to compel discovery. The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to compel discovery.
  • Motion for continuance. The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion for a continuance.
