Enterprise denying TRO and Mandamus

Patchak is indistinguishable from the present case because no Plaintiff claims an interest in the Proposed Site, meaning that this is not a quiet title action and the QTA’s limitation on suits related to Indian lands does not apply. Patchak squarely addressed the supposedly irreparable harm that Plaintiffs complain of and indicated that federal district courts do have  the power to strip the federal government of title to land taken  into trust for an Indian tribe under the APA so long as the claimant does not assert an interest in the land. In this case, Plaintiffs only seek to divest the government of its title. They do not assert an interest in the Proposed Site. Plaintiffs have    therefore not shown that the mere act of transferring the  Proposed Site into trust on February 1, 2013 constitutes   irreparable harm, and a TRO is therefore inappropriate.
