The Utah Court of Appeals heard two arguments on its calendar: an employment-discrimination appeal involving Utah State University and Dr. Leila Sadeeshkar focused on whether the university was on notice of a disability and whether the interactive process or retaliation protections were triggered by a short-term disability claim; and a criminal appeal in State v. Cassie Tolman centered on whether the trial court properly allowed children to testify remotely under Utah Rule 15.5, whether that decision and related evidentiary rulings violated confrontation or counsel-performance standards, and whether hearsay and prior-consistent statements prejudiced the defense. Both matters were taken under advisement for written decisions.
