Supreme Court Fails to Grant Cert in Indian Law Cases

The Supreme Court failed to grant cert in any of the Indian law cases at the long conference yesterday. Our list of the cases is here.  The Court has already granted cert in United States v. Tohono O’odham, and it is possible they might still CVSG a case.

    Please clarify: SCOTUS said yes to Tohono O’odham and no to the six “Long Conference” cases you listed yesterday, right?
    But what about Schaghticoke, Metlakatla, and Scott’s Master Settlement Act cig tax case? Where are they now and are they still out there as possible candidates for CVSG’ing? And when will we know one way or the other?
    Thanks!

    Yes, the Court granted Tohono O’odham and did not grant on the other cases we mentioned yesterday. Metlakatla was distributed for the long conference yesterday, and the Court did not grant cert. Schaghticoke was also distributed for the long conference and the Court did not grant cert. The cases are not yet denied. SCOTUSblog states that the orders denying cert will likely be released on Oct. 4th at 10am. They are still candidates for CVSG till then.
