The parties to this lawsuit made the following agreements and acknowledgements:

  • Significant reforms to Utah's child welfare system have been achieved

  • Defendants have made significant progress in improving case practices and ensuring strong system performance

The case will be permanently dismissed as of December 31, 2008.
