The city council in Glendale, Arizona, voted to appeal another ruling in its bid to stop the Tohono O'odham Nation from building an off-reservation casino.
The city claims it annexed portions of a 134-acre site owned by the tribe.
But the Arizona Court of Appeals last week ruled that wasn't the case.
The decision means the tribe can ask the Bureau of Indian Affairs to place the entire site in trust. Previously, the BIA only agreed to 54 acres but that was before the court ruled on the annexation issue.
The city's appeal will go to the Arizona Supreme Court. After that, it could conceivably go to the U.S. Supreme Court.
