• TRANSCRIPT: United States v. Joshua James Cooley<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The U.S. Supreme Court<\/a> hears arguments in U.S. v. Cooley, No. 19-1414, on March 23, 2021.<\/p>\n

The arguments, which took place via teleconference, lasted about an 1 hour and 10 minutes. Justices heard about a police officer stop on the Crow Reservation<\/a> in Montana, where a non-Indian was found with drugs and was charged with drug trafficking in federal court.<\/p>\n

Joshua Cooley later sought to have the evidence against him suppressed. He eventually convinced the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals<\/a> that a police officer employed by the Crow Tribe<\/a> did not have authority to detain him because of his status as a non-Indian.<\/p>\n

The 9th Circuit decision is now being reviewed by the Supreme Court<\/a>. The case was accepted at the request of the federal government.<\/p>\n

A decision is expected before the end of the court’s term in June 2021.<\/p>\n
