Wyoming Supreme Court Holds State Courts Have Jurisdiction over On-Reservation Tort Claims Brought against Tribal Members
Here is the opinion in C’Hair v. District Court:
NYTs: “Supreme Court’s ‘Long Conference’: Where Appeals ‘Go to Die’”
Here.
I’m unaware of any Indian law grants from the so-called “long conference” since we started the blog in 2007.
From NARF’s page, here are the petitions currently pending:
- Jensen v. EXC, Inc. (15-64)
- Nebraska v. Parker ( 14-1406)
- Oklahoma v. Hobia (14-1177)
- Sac and Fox Nation of Oklahoma v. Borough of Jim Thorpe (14-1419)
- Torres v. Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians (14-1521)
- Wisconsin v. Ho Chunk (15-114)
Jensen was initially set for the long conference, but the Court asked the respondents to file a response brief (a CFR) and that moved back the date.
Hobia, Jim Thorpe, and Torres are currently set for the long conference. Parker and Ho-Chunk likely will as well.

Turtle Talk Poll — The Enduring Legacy/Aftermath of Santa Clara Pueblo v. Martinez
Santa Clara Pueblo v. Martinez is patently one of the two or three most important and perhaps controversial Supreme Court decisions affecting Indian nations and Indian people. In light of Steve Russell’s four part ICT series, we wonder what Turtle Talk readers think about Martinez.
As we think of them, we may add a question or two.
Update – here’s one!
