The Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians filed a lawsuit aimed at stopping the
North Fork Rancheria of
Mono Indians from opening an off-reservation casino.
The lawsuit was filed in state court. The defendants include Gov. Jerry Brown (D), who approved the off-reservation casino under the two-part determination provisions of the Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act.
Among other claims, the Chukchansi Tribe says Brown failed to comply with state environmental laws.
