A judge is moving quickly to decide a lawsuit over Utah's ban on transgender children playing school sports that match their gender identities.
During a hearing on Monday, 3rd District Court Judge Keith Kelly set a series of deadlines for expert witness depositions and disputes over medical records. He scheduled an August hearing on a request by the Utah Attorney General's Office to dismiss the lawsuit a day before he considers a request by the plaintiffs to grant a restraining order to block the law from going into effect.
The biggest dispute will likely be over medical records of the three children related to their gender transitioning, attorneys indicated. Lawyers for the children bristled at some of the requests from the Utah Attorney General's Office. But the attorney general's office suggested it did not plan to subject the children to in-court proceedings, even if the hearing were to be sealed.
