(1) All parties consent in writing within sixty (60) days of service of the

last defendant; and

(2) The case meets the eligibility requirements of W.S. § 5-13-115 and the

W.R.C.P.Ch.C.

(b) Removal to Chancery Court after Amended Pleading in District Court. If

the case stated by the initial pleading is not removable to chancery court, a

notice of removal may be filed with the chancery court within sixty (60) days

after receipt by the defendant, through service or otherwise, of a copy of an

amended pleading, motion, order or other paper from which it may first be

ascertained that the case is one which is or has become removable, if all parties

consent in writing and the case meets the eligibility requirements of W.S. §

5-13-115 and the W.R.C.P.Ch.C.

(c) Procedure after Removal Generally.

party shall file a copy of the notice with the clerk of such district court, which

shall effect the removal and the district court shall proceed no further.

(2) Time of Removal. The case shall be deemed removed from district

court to chancery court upon entry of an Order of Removal by the chancery

court.

chancery court, the district court clerk shall not reimburse the filing party or

parties for any filing fees paid.
