next step analysis in Utah

2024Our supreme court has instructed that 20230761-CA 7 2024 UT App 181 State v. Wardle “[t]his three-part showing is a sequential test,” meaning that “a court must not proceed to the next step in the analysis if it determines the [requesting party] failed to meet his or her burden of proof at a previous point.” Id. ¶ 16. ¶17 The district court determined that Wardle could not make the required showing on any of the three parts of the test.
