Summary

The department continued Brown v. Attorney General at the petitioner’s request to allow an in‑person appearance and dismissed the Eames v. Utah Local Government Trust appeal for failure to prosecute when neither party appeared.

At the start of the session the records office handled two procedural items. For appeal 2025‑188 (Brown v. Attorney General) the petitioner asked for an in‑person hearing; Mister Franklin (respondent) said he had no objection to a continuance and the director said staff would reschedule the hearing.

In appeal 2025‑190 (Eames v. Utah Local Government Trust), neither party appeared as a panelist and Director Lonnie Pearson announced the appeal would be dismissed for failure to prosecute; an order of dismissal will be issued within seven business days with appeal rights to district court within 30 calendar days.

Those administrative docket items were handled before the longer appeals on UVU security plans and USBE seclusion data.
