PROVO — Attorneys for the Brigham Young University Police Department hoped that by requesting a summary judgment, a judge would dismiss the state’s efforts to decertify the police department.
But according to a preliminary decision handed down by administrative law Judge Richard Catten, a summary judgment would likely go in favor of decertification.
“Based on the pleadings, exhibits, statutes, rules and the arguments of the parties, it has been preliminarily determined that the undisputed facts set forth in BYUPD’s motion for summary judgment may not support judgment as a matter of law in BYUPD’s favor,” Catten wrote in his decision issued Nov.
