Today’s order list is here.
The Supreme Court asked for the views of the Solicitor General in Iron Thunderhorse v. Pierce, a Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act case.
In nice news for Indian Country, the Supreme Court denied cert. in Gould v. Cayuga and Hogan v. Kaltag Tribal Council. Both cases had appeared as petitions to watch, and the Supreme Court had previously CVSG’d the Kaltag (the OSG recommended denial of the petition).
Petitions denied included the challenge to the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (Maybee v. Idaho), and Schagticoke’s challenge to the denial of its federal recognition (Schaghticoke v. Salazar), Fort Peck v. HUD, Hoffman v. Sandia, and Metlakatla v. Sebelius.
