Minnesota Supreme Court Opinions

Orders on Petitions for Further Review

Granted

1.  Jonathan David Fritz vs. City of Rochester – A25-1653

Issue: Whether the court of appeals below erred by failing to acknowledge issues of fact as to the City of Rochester’s knowledge of a dangerous condition in its ice rink, resulting in an over-expansive application of recreational-use immunity.

Granted/Stayed

2.  State of Minnesota vs. Joseph Robert Udstuen – A25-1350

Issue: Should this Court grant review and stay this petition pending Eastman where Udstuen’s probation was revoked without a finding that rehabilitation had failed and where community-based treatment options that had not yet been tried were still available to him?

Stayed pending final disposition in State v. Eastman, A25-0382.

3.  State of Minnesota vs. Gregory Allen Halfhill – A25-1748

Issue: In 2023, the legislature amended Minn. Stat. § 609.14 to provide that “revocation shall be used as a last resort only where rehabilitation has failed.” Did the changes have any substantive effect on how courts are to analyze probation violations?

Stayed pending final disposition in State v. Eastman, A25-0382.
