Legal Signals

---

This case presents multiple appealable issues, including the misapplication of Rule 68, judicial inconsistencies between written and oral rulings, and constitutional privacy concerns arising from non-consensual landlord entry while the tenant was nude and asleep. 

This page summarizes the legally relevant issues in my case, including potential grounds for appeal, civil rights implications, and systemic failures in Wyoming’s tenant-entry laws. 

On December 2, 2025, the Court issued a cost judgment against me for $2,453.12 under W.R.C.P. 68 after I pursued claims of invasion of privacy, intrusion, and trespass based on non-consensual landlord entry while I was nude and asleep.

This raises several potential legal red flags:

Rule 68 is generally used to encourage settlement in monetary disputes — not to punish tenants asserting privacy rights or safety concerns.|

The Court explicitly found:

• Photocopy and postage costs were not itemized,
   
• The timeframe of costs was unclear,
   
• The request failed to separate pre-offer vs. post-offer costs,
  yet still awarded substantial costs anyway.
   

This dramatically increases the burden on a plaintiff acting in good faith.

This case now stands as precedent that:

A Wyoming tenant who challenges non-consensual entry — even when nude/asleep — may be ordered to pay the landlord’s litigation costs.
 

Issues potentially relevant to appellate or impact litigation:

• Due process concerns
   
• Misapplication of Rule 68
   
• Disproportionate cost penalties
   
• Chilling effect on privacy and reporting
   
• Conflict with public policy and statutory gaps

• Did the Court correctly apply Rule 68 in a privacy-rights/entry case not grounded in monetary settlement?
   
• Did the Court err by issuing findings that conflict with the oral record and trial transcript?
   
• Did the Court’s treatment of privacy, tenant consent, and non-consensual entry align with state and federal precedent?
   
• Did the cost judgment create an unconstitutional chilling effect on tenants reporting non-emergency entry?
   
• Does Wyoming’s absence of notice laws violate basic due process or public policy when landlords enter occupied homes?
