Pojoaque/New Mexico Contempt Materials in Gaming Compact Dispute

April 27, 2016April 27, 2016Matthew L.M. Fletcher1 Comment

Here are the materials in Pueblo of Pojoaque v. State of New Mexico (D. N.M.):

53 Pojoaque Motion for Contempt

An excerpt:

The Court will deny the Motion. First, although the Plaintiffs are not required to demonstrate that they suffered actual damages, such damages would help them to establish that the deferrals constitute threats. Second, the deferrals do not “threaten” the vendors within Judge Brack’s PI’s meaning. The Gaming Board, however, treads perilously close to civil contempt and should take care not to interfere with the Plaintiffs’ vendors.
