U.S. District Court Judge David Nuffer, an Obama appointee, will hold a hearing in United Utah Party v Cox, 2:17cv-655, on Monday, June 26, at 2:30 p.m. This is the case on whether the Utah state government may bar the party from placing its nominee on the November 2017 ballot for U.S. House, special election, 3rd district.
