BMG v. Chukchansi Casino — Tribal Sovereign Immunity

Matthew L.M. Fletcher1 Comment

In the September 12, 2007 order, the district court granted the motion to dismiss as to the Chukchansi Indian Tribe, but left open the question as to whether sovereign immunity applied to the tribe’s economic development entity. In the August 6, 2008 order, the court held the entity was not entitled to sovereign immunity.
