Federal Court Allows Amended Suit against Seneca Holdings in Post-Hurricane Sandy Construction Dispute
Here are the materials in Private Solutions Inc v. SCMC LLC (D. N.J.):
53-1 Plaintiff Motion to Amend complaint
An excerpt:
As Breakthrough makes clear, determining whether an economic entity such as Seneca Holdings benefits from tribal sovereign immunity requires a fact-intensive inquiry. The Court recognizes that Seneca Holdings has produced its Second Amended Charter, which discusses the economic entity’s formation, purpose, structure, and relationship to the Seneca Nation. [Docket Entry No. 55-1]. The Charter makes clear that Seneca Holdings was organized under tribal law and was created for the purpose of facilitating the Tribe’s economic interests. The Charter is highly probative of several of the Breakthrough factors; however, it is not enough to definitively establish that Seneca Holdings shares tribal sovereign immunity with the Seneca Nation of Indians. As such, more discovery is required to appropriately consider the issue. Consequently, at this juncture, Seneca Holdings purported tribal sovereign immunity does not render PSI’s proposed amendments futile.

Unalachtigo Band v. New Jersey — Order on Motion to Dismiss
In this case, the underlying suit was brought by non-federally recognized tribe to establish a land claim and perhaps federal recognition. The Stockbridge-Munsee Mohicans sought intervenor status to file a motion to dismiss on Rule 19 (indispensable party) grounds (again, my favorite rule). The district court denied the motion to dismiss, noting that the original plaintiffs had no standing anyway.
