D. Wyo. U.S.D.C.L.R. 84.10

(a) When Court Order Required.

An attorney suspended for three (3) months or less shall be automatically reinstated at

the end of the period of suspension upon filing with the Court an affidavit of compliance with

the provisions of the disciplinary order. An attorney suspended for more than three (3) months

or disbarred may not resume practice until reinstated by order of this Court.

(b) Time of Petition Following Disbarment.

A person who has been disbarred may not petition for reinstatement earlier than five (5)

years from the effective date of the disbarment.

(c) Hearing on Petition.

A petition for reinstatement by a disbarred or suspended attorney under this Rule shall

be filed with the Chief Judge of this Court. Upon receipt of the petition, the Chief Judge may

refer it to disciplinary counsel and assign the matter for prompt hearing before one or more

judges of this Court provided that, if the disciplinary action was predicated upon the complaint

of a judge of this Court, a hearing shall be conducted by a judge of this Court (active or senior

active) and disciplinary counsel shall be appointed in accordance with Local Rule 84.4(d). The

judge assigned shall, within thirty (30) days after referral, schedule a hearing at which the

petitioner shall have the burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence that he or

she has the moral qualifications, competency and learning in the law required to practice law

before this Court and reinstatement will not be detrimental to the integrity and standing of the

bar or to the administration of justice or subversive of the public interest.

(d) Duty of Disciplinary Counsel.

In all proceedings upon a petition for reinstatement, disciplinary counsel is responsible

for cross-examination of the petitioner and his or her witnesses and for the submission of

evidence, if any, in opposition to the petition.

(e) Deposit for Cost of Proceeding.

The Court may require an advance deposit in an amount determined by the Court to

cover anticipated costs of the reinstatement proceedings.

(f) Conditions of Reinstatement.

If the Court finds petitioner unfit for reinstatement, the petition shall be dismissed. If

the Court finds reinstatement is warranted, the Court shall reinstate petitioner, provided the

Court may make reinstatement conditional on such terms and conditions the Court deems

appropriate.

(g) Successive Petitions.

No petition for reinstatement under this Rule shall be filed within one (1) year following

an adverse judgment upon a petition for reinstatement.
