W.R.C.P. 33
Interrogatories to Parties
(a) In General. —
(1) Number. — Unless otherwise stipulated or ordered by the court, a
party may serve on any other party no more than 25 written interrogatories,
including all discrete subparts. Leave to serve additional interrogatories
may be granted to the extent consistent with Rule 26(b)(1) and (2).
(2) Scope. — An interrogatory may relate to any matter that may be
inquired into under Rule 26(b). An interrogatory is not objectionable merely
because it asks for an opinion or contention that relates to fact or the
application of law to fact, but the court may order that the interrogatory
need not be answered until designated discovery is complete, or until a
pretrial conference or some other time.
(b) Answers and Objections. —
(1) Responding Party. — The interrogatories must be answered:
(A) by the party to whom they are directed; or
(B) if that party is a public or private corporation, a partnership, an
association, or a governmental agency, by any officer or agent, who must
furnish the information available to the party.
(2) Time to Respond. — The responding party must serve its answers and
any objections within 30 days after being served with the interrogatories. A
shorter or longer time may be stipulated to under Rule 29 or be ordered by
the court.
(3) Answering Each Interrogatory. — Each interrogatory must, to the
extent it is not objected to, be answered separately and fully in writing under
oath.
(4) Objections. — The grounds for objecting to an interrogatory must be
stated with specificity. Any ground not stated in a timely objection is waived
unless the court, for good cause, excuses the failure.
(5) Signature. — The person who makes the answers must sign them, and
the attorney who objects must sign any objections.
(c) Use. — An answer to an interrogatory may be used to the extent allowed
by the Wyoming Rules of Evidence.
(d) Option to Produce Business Records. — If the answer to an interrogatory
may be determined by examining, auditing, compiling, abstracting, or sum-
marizing a party’s business records (including electronically stored information), and if the burden of deriving or ascertaining the answer will be
substantially the same for either party, the responding party may answer by:
(1) specifying the records that must be reviewed, in sufficient detail to
enable the interrogating party to locate and identify them as readily as the
responding party could; and
(2) giving the interrogating party a reasonable opportunity to examine
and audit the records and to make copies, compilations, abstracts, or
summaries.
