The Oneida Nation of New York is asking a state appeals court to drop 14 tax assessment lawsuits.
The tribe filed the lawsuits in July 2005 after being hit with tax bills by several municipalities in Madison County. In the interim, a federal judge ruled that the tribe's properties couldn't be taxed without federal consent.
The Oneida Nation owns 159 parcels in the county assessed at $32.9 million.
