Since his initial appearance on Oct. 4, Clapp's name has scarcely graced the courtroom. The attorney waived his preliminary hearing Nov. 29 and an arraignment that was scheduled last month was cancelled.
According to Natrona County District Court officials, the next activity slated in the Clapp case was an order for both parties to file written status reports by Friday.
