Salt Lake City, USA - A judge has set an August fourth hearing date to consider new trustees for a polygamist church.
Also today, Third District Judge Denise Lindberg set the parameters on who can be considered an "interested party" to propose trustees for the United Effort Plan.
That's the financial arm of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The state had the assets frozen, and church President Warren Jeffs and other trustees were permanently removed.
People were earlier allowed to nominate themselves or others as new trustees, but the judge has narrowed the parameters of who is allowed to do that.
They include:
_ The Corporation of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
_ the recently removed trustees.
_ the attorneys general of Utah and Arizona, and
_ all trust beneficiaries, including those who filed lawsuits against the trust. Lindberg said the beneficiaries include anyone who has consecrated time, talents or resources to the plan.
