Federal Court Dismisses Former Ute Employee’s Employment Contract Claims
Here are the materials in Becker v. Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation (D. Utah):
26 DCT Order Denying Motion to DQ Counsel
32 DCT Order Dismissing Complaint
An excerpt:
Because plaintiff’s complaint does not, on its face, plead causes of action created by federal law, and because the plaintiff’s causes of action do not include, as an essential element, any right or immunity created by federal law, the court concludes that plaintiff’s claims do not meet the “arising under” standard for federal-question jurisdiction and that the court is therefore without jurisdiction to hear plaintiff’s claims. Accordingly, the court GRANTS defendants’ motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction and DISMISSES plaintiff’s amended complaint.
On what must have been a slow news day we posted the complaint here.
