Unalachtigo Band v. New Jersey — Order on Motion to Dismiss

Matthew L.M. Fletcher

In this case, the underlying suit was brought by non-federally recognized tribe to establish a land claim and perhaps federal recognition. The Stockbridge-Munsee Mohicans sought intervenor status to file a motion to dismiss on Rule 19 (indispensable party) grounds (again, my favorite rule). The district court denied the motion to dismiss, noting that the original plaintiffs had no standing anyway.
