Motion to Classify Hearing Transcript as Private
What This Image Shows
A cropped capture of two sequential pages of a filing in State of Utah v. Tyler James Robinson, Case No. 251403576, before the Honorable Tony F. Graf, Jr. The title reads STIPULATED MOTION TO ORDER TRANSCRIPT AND CLASSIFY TRANSCRIPT AND AUDIO AS PRIVATE.
The body asks the court to order preparation of a transcript from the sealed hearing on October 24, 2025, and to classify both that transcript and the hearing audio as "private" under Utah Rule of Judicial Administration 4-202.02(4)(CC). The filing explains that because the court sealed the hearing, the material is presumed sealed under 4-202.02(3)(1), but the parties agree they should receive the audio and a prepared transcript so it can be used in later filings and on appeal. It adds that given the nature of the case, appellate review "is a foregone conclusion."
This is one of the clearest documents in the archive on how much of this case the public will not see. A hearing was closed, its record is presumed sealed, and both sides jointly asked that it stay private while remaining available to them. That is a lawful and routine mechanism. It is also, cumulatively, the thing citizen researchers most object to — a proceeding about a public assassination conducted where the public cannot follow it.
