Here is the unpublished opinion and assorted materials in San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians v. State (Cal. App.):
Rebecca M. Webster has published “Service Agreements: Exploring Payment Formulas for Tribal Trust Lands on the Oneida Reservation” in the American Indian Quarterly.
Here is the abstract:
Many tribal governments throughout the US struggle with developing and maintaining positive relationships with other governments that have overlapping boundaries. Sometimes a tribe and other governments are able to strike an accord and realize a wide array of ways their respective governments can complement each other in order to provide the best services to their shared communities. Other times tribal and local governments find themselves tied up in litigation and negative public relations campaigns due to their inability to find a way to peacefully coexist. The Oneida Reservation has a unique history leading to checkerboard landownership patterns and the presence of tribal and local governments providing varying levels of government services. With respect to tribal trust land, the Oneida Tribe and local governments have been working together for the past two decades to find equitable ways to recognize each other’s government services through service agreements.

The Supreme Court denied cert in Oklahoma v. Hobia, Wisconsin v. Ho-Chunk, Sac and Fox Nation v. Borough of Jim Thorpe, and Torres v. Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians.
The Court took no action on the Jensen v. EXC petition, perhaps because the Dollar General v. Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians matter is pending and involves similar issues (tribal court jurisdiction over nonmembers).
