Incoming Utah House Rep. Phil Lyman should be off his federal probation in mid December, shortly before he takes office to represent southeastern Utah.

A federal judge has recommended a Dec. 17 end date to Lyman’s court-ordered supervision, according to a report by FOX 13.

Lyman, a former San Juan County commissioner, was convicted of a misdemeanor after protesting federal road regulations in 2014 by riding in an ATV through an area the government had closed. Lyman and others objected to the decision to shut down access through that part of Recapture Canyon.
