Opening briefs have been submitted to the
10th Circuit Court of
Appeals in the Kialegee
Tribal Town casino case.
The tribe announced plans for the Red Clay Casino on an Indian
allotment near Tulsa. Judge Gregory Frizzell blocked the project and ruled that the tribe
lacked jurisdiction at the site, a key requirement of the Indian
Gaming Regulatory Act.
Frizzell also said the casino would violate the tribe's Class III gaming compact.
He further ruled that tribal officials were not protected by sovereign immunity.
Turtle Talk has posted documents from the case, Oklahoma v. Hobia.
A date for oral arguments hasn't been set.
