Jackson v. Spanish Fork
Jackson v. Spanish Fork, 2025 UT App 161 (Tenney, J.)
Criminal
The Utah Court of Appeals held:
- The district court’s dismissal of Jackson’s postconviction petition was appropriate because it was untimely.
- Practice tip: It is appropriate for reviewing courts to affirm on alternative grounds when the decision relies on uncontested procedural facts and interpretation of statutes/rules, and the decision is consistent with a position advanced by one of the parties in the lower court and on appeal.
