cases, 1991–2011 · leading case: The Wilderness Soc. v. Kane Cnty., Utah, 632 F.3d 1162 (10th Cir. 2011).
The Wilderness Soc. v. Kane Cnty., Utah, 632 F.3d 1162 (10th Cir. 2011). “Moreover, the ordinance itself explicitly noted that Kane County claims authority to designate roads pursuant to state law, specifically Utah Code §§ 41-22-10.1 and -10.5, which allow Utah Counties to designate roadways by posting signs.”
Jerz v. Salt Lake Cnty., 822 P.2d 770 (Utah 1991). “Significantly, in section 41-22-10.1 of that chapter, operation of off-highway vehicles was authorized on public lands, streets, or highways which had been “posted by sign or designated by map by the controlling federal, state, county or city agency as open to off-highway…”
The Wilderness Soc. v. Kane Cnty., Utah, 632 F.3d 1162 (10th Cir. 2009). “Perhaps recognizing this, the dissent falls back and tries to suggest that Kane County is actually asserting a state law interest arising from Utah Code §§ 41-22-10.1, -10.5, 72-3-103, -105 that a Supremacy Clause claim could remedy.”
