037-7 Wyo. Code R. § 7-2
At times the State Board of Control and the district court may have concurrent jurisdiction to hear a matter in controversy. Where a water right matter is involved, the Board's jurisdiction may be primary, or the district court judge may decide that the Board is better qualified to hear the case. When a civil action is filed in the district court but the judge decides that the Board should make the factual determinations, the Board shall hear and decide all matters certified to it by the district court as if the matter had come before the Board in the first instance. If the judge's instructions to the Board so require, the Board's decision shall be re-certified back to the district court for its review. If the instructions do not require the Board to make a report, judicial review of the Board's decision is authorized under W.S. 16-3-114.
