Here is the opinion in Liska v. Macarro (S.D. Cal.): DCT Order Dismissing Liska Complaint.
A quote:
On October 14, 2008, Petitioner, proceeding pro se, filed the original petition, captioned “Complaint [for] Writ of Habeas Corpus.” (Doc. No. 1.) Petitioner alleged he is a descendant of the Pechanga Band of Mission Indians (the “Tribe”), but not an enrolled member of the Tribe. The Tribe currently has in place a moratorium on enrolling new members. The petition named as respondents Tribe members Mark Macarro, Mark Calac, Mar Luker, John Magee, Andrew Masiiel, Donna Baron, and Butch Murphy. Petitioner alleged Respondents illegally banished Petitioner from the Tribe without a hearing or due process, in violation of the American Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968 (“ICRA”), 25 U.S.C. §§ 1301, 1302, and 1303. According to Petitioner, he is entitled to be recognized as a member of the Tribe, share in the Tribe’s trust proceeds, and enter the reservation to visit his father’s grave.
