Here is a description of the case from the MJ order:

Plaintiff Nelvette Siemion (“Siemion”), appearing pro se, filed her Amended Complaint on January 30, 2012, listing 14 counts. Am. Cmplt. (Court Doc. 32). This action stems from three general allegations that one or more of the named Defendants wrongfully (1) deprived Siemion of Crow Tribal land leases to which she was entitled; (2) rounded up, seized, and impounded about 200 head of Siemion’s bison causing her to incur penalties and costs to recover them; and (3) killed, butchered, and distributed the meat from three of Siemion’s bison bulls. The claims and the defendants against whom Siemion asserts them are discussed in more detail below.
