Supreme Court declines Ute Mountain Ute Tribe's tax case
Posted: Tuesday, February 21, 2012
The U.S. Supreme Court today declined a petition in Ute Mountain Ute Tribe v. Padilla, a taxation case.
The Ute Mountain Ute
Tribe sued the state of New Mexico for forcing non-Indian developers to remit five taxes on oil and gas drilling. A federal judge ruled that the state was pre-empted by
federal law.
On appeal, the 10th Circuit reversed. By a 2-1 split, the court said the
U.S. Supreme Court
previously upheld the taxes in a 1998 case involving the Jicarilla Apache Nation.
The tribe appealed but the Supreme Court, without comment, declined the case in an order this morning.
