Where the case stands
- State-court proceedings produced a temporary restraining order and contested intervention practice by nonparties seeking to vacate it in part; Schneider removed the case to the District of Utah on June 26, 2026, before any UPEPA motion was decided. Whatever UPEPA practice follows will unfold under the federal framework.
- On August 27, 2026 the plaintiffs and defendant Bryan Mansell filed a joint stipulation for a permanent injunction against him and dismissal with prejudice of the remaining claims against him, following a settlement reached in mediation. The stipulation expressly reserves the claims against Schneider, Reckless Ben LLC, Nguyen and the unnamed defendants, so the case continues as to them. The anti-SLAPP motion has still not been decided.
