Summary

The Supreme Court of Wyoming affirmed the denial of the Estate's claims against Katya Hutton concerning alleged undisclosed or misused condominium rental income. It held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by declining to impose Rule 37 sanctions because the Estate had not established a discovery violation and declined a continuance that could have allowed an evidentiary hearing. The Court also held that the district court did not clearly err in finding the Marriott records unreliable and the Estate's proof insufficient.
