Heading: dismissal for lack of particularity in pleading fraud

Text: The decision of the district court was premised on giving full faith and credit to the California proceeding. The district court stated that [i]t seems clear that our statute requires full faith and credit to be given to wills duly admitted to probate in other jurisdictions. The recitation of factual events regarding California probate and notice of Wyoming probate may be interesting but immaterial, since we hold that issues of will validity as affecting Wyoming real estate will be determined in this Wyoming proceeding. As a proponent of the will, appellee only responded procedurally by a motion to dismiss and the substantive sufficiency of appellant's pleading to properly attack the will itself for undue influence or whatever was not presented for trial court decision. [8] Consequently, pleading sufficiency of the complaint is not now considered. Knudson v. Hilzer, 551 P.2d 680 (Wyo. 1976). Reversed and remanded for further proceedings in conformity with this opinion.
