Case Name: Long v. Marlin Oil Co., LLC

Citation: 2009 WY 97

Docket Number: S-08-0245

Appeal from the District Court of Campbell County, the Honorable John R. Perry, Judge.

Representing Appellant Long: Paul J. Drew, Drew Law Office, PC, Gillette, Wyoming.

Representing Appellee Marlin Oil Co., LLC: Randall T. Cox, Randall T. Cox, PC, Gillette, Wyoming.

Facts/Discussion: Larry Long, Trustee of the Long Trust appealed the district court?s entry of judgment in favor of Marlin Oil.
Long failed to designate any record of the proceedings before the district court, the brief did not contain a statement of the facts, and the appendix did not include a copy of the district court?s judgment or a statement of costs.

Conclusion: Long?s failure to comply with the Wyoming Rules of Appellate Procedure left the Court unable to review the merits of the district court?s decision. The Court granted Marlin Oil?s request to assess costs.

Affirmed.

J. Burke delivered the decision.
