What's worse, the State took the position that there was no way of challenging these "pleas held in abeyance", which are later dismissed outright upon compliance of court terms. A divided Utah Supreme Court panel finally resolved this enigmatic "catch-22" by resurrecting its constitutional authority and endowing URCP 60(b) as the vehicle for relief. We asked for a tiny common law crack; the Court ended up giving thousands of Utahns a constitutional sledgehammer instead. Even better."
