By Utah law, the state is immune if the injury is associated with issuing or revoking a permit, license or other authorization.
"The state failed to revoke authorization for plaintiffs to camp at their chosen site," Stott wrote in his ruling. "Samuel Ives was killed by the bear at that camp where, this court assumes, plaintiffs would not have camped had the state revoked authorization. Thus, the state is immune from any action based on the injuries."
