In a statement Tuesday, Cherokee Nation Assistant Attorney General Chrissi Ross Nimmo said officials did not actively follow the suit because they were never served with a complaint, meaning they were unaware the case was closed until last week.

“We are pleased Ms. Maldonado and the unnamed plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the suit,” she said. “We never believed the suit had any merit, and we’re prepared to actively defend the suit had we ever been served.”
