Update in South Dakota ICWA Class Action — Is Judge Davis Concealing Evidence?
Here are new pleadings in Oglala Sioux Tribe v. Van Hunnik (D.S.D.):
100 Oglala Sioux Tribe Reply Brief
An excerpt:
Plaintiffs possess a document that strongly suggests that Judge Davis is concealing information prejudicial to his case. If Plaintiffs are correct, then the Court will need to determine whether that document and the brief that Plaintiffs are filing under seal should be unsealed, whether any sanctions against Judge Davis are warranted, and whether Judge Davis should be ordered to disclose any other incriminating evidence that he may be concealing. For now, Plaintiffs will respond to Judge Davis’s brief as if the injurious evidence that Plaintiffs have in their possession does not exist and will await the Court’s ruling on that matter.

Here:
98 Plaintiffs Motion to Compel
An excerpt:
The only information that Interrogatory No. 11 seeks to discover is whether Judge Davis discussed any 48-hour procedures with other judges on the Seventh Judicial Circuit. It is difficult to imagine an interrogatory more related to Plaintiffs’ burden of proof than Interrogatory No. 11. See Disc. Op. at *6 (“In this case, in order to be successful, plaintiffs must prove the defendants engaged in policies, practices and customs which violate the plaintiffs’ constitutional rights.”).
