An excerpt:

The Court affirms the BIA’s declinations of NAT’s second and third judicial services proposals, wildlife resources management proposal, and water resources management proposal. The Court reverses the BIA’s declination of NAT’s youth court proposal, to the extent that the declination improperly relied upon post-hoc justifications, and NAT’s first judicial services proposal. We remand these proposals to the BIA for reconsideration.

74 Motion to Set Aside Verdict

87 DCT Order

An excerpt:

The Court agrees with Henderson that if the jury would have heard the undisclosed impeaching evidence relating to Cabanas, they may have changed the way they viewed Cabanas’s testimony. The Court finds, however, that the absence of such evidence had no impact on the jury’s verdict given the relative insignificance of Cabanas’s testimony compared to the other witnesses, and the overwhelming weight of evidence against Henderson provided by other witnesses.
