Navajo Nation Supreme Court Issues Omnibus Order in Massive DiscretionaryFund Fraud Cases

Here is the opinion in Acothley v. Perry. (H/T Pechanga)

As you may recall, the Navajo Special Prosecutor filed more than 250 criminal cases in the Window Rock District Court a few months back, creating a logjam of complex criminal cases (our post here).

The court’s syllabus:

Acothley et al v. Perry, Opinion and Omnibus Order and Writ of Superintending Control. In this application for a Writ of Superintending Control, the Court denies Petitioners’ request for dismissal and disqualification of Judge Carol Perry and Judge T. J. Holgate of the Window Rock District Court and further, issues a writ requiring consolidation of co-conspirators into joint trials in the Discretionary Fund Cases.  (March 1, 2011)
