No Casino in Plymouth v. NIGC Cert Petition
Here:
Questions presented:
- Did the Ninth Circuit err when it dismissed plaintiffs’ challenge to DOI’s approval of a trust transfer for the Ione Band which was not a recognized tribe in 1934 as required by the IRA?
- Did the Ninth Circuit err when it dismissed plaintiffs’ challenge to NIGC’s authority to approve a gaming ordinance for the Ione Band which has no Indian lands as defined by IGRA?
- Did the Ninth Circuit err when it dismissed plaintiffs’ claim that federal acknowledgement as a tribe under 25 CFR Part 83 is a prerequisite for the Ione Band to receive IRA and IGRA benefits?

3. Whether the Secretary’s approval of a tribalstate compact violates equal protection principles where it provides a specific tribe with a monopoly on online sports gaming off tribal lands, while state law makes that conduct a felony for everyone else.
