Cooper v. State
Wyoming Supreme Court

1Opinion of the Court
KITE, Justice.
[T1] Cleo Cooper pleaded guilty to one count of felony possession of a controlled substance under Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 35-7-1031 (LexisNexis 2001). He appeals his judgment and sentence arguing the trial court committed error when it allowed a substance abuse therapist to testify during sentencing regarding privileged communications she had with him. We hold that, although Mr. Cooper did not expressly waive his privilege as required by Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 33-38-113 (LexisNexis 2001), he impliedly did so and did not suffer any prejudice. Therefore, we affirm his sentence.
