Grillone v. POST

Grillone v. POST, 2025 UT 7 (Hagen, J.)

Civil/Admin

The Utah Supreme Court held: 

  • The Utah Court of Appeals correctly declined to disturb POST’s three-year suspension of Grillone’s certification because civil statutes of limitation do not apply to POST proceedings. 
  • Practice tip: A civil statute of limitations does not apply to administrative disciplinary proceedings absent statutory language to the contrary. 
  • Practice tip: The statutory language designating POST proceedings as “civil actions” does not incorporate the civil limitation periods but rather distinguishes those proceedings from criminal actions.
