Salt Lake City Mission v. Salt Lake City

WILKINS, Justice:

T1 Appellants Salt Lake City Mission and Wayne Wilson claim that Salt Lake City and various of its officers and employees have violated the Mission's religious freedom under both the Utah and federal constitutions. We hold that the Mission's claims under the Utah Constitution were properly dismissed because the Mission failed to exhaust its administrative remedies. We further hold that the Mission's claims under the federal constitution are not ripe, and were thus also properly dismissed. We therefore affirm the decision of the district court.
