Here are the materials in Alturas Indian Rancheria v. Salazar (E.D. Cal.):
129 Alturas Motion for Contempt
An excerpt:
This is a proceeding brought by plaintiff Indian tribe to determine whether the government is in contempt of the court’s January 13, 2012 order in this case (ECF No 126). Plaintiff asserts that the following portion of the court’s order required the government to pay “contract support costs” associated with the “self-determination” contracts it entered into with plaintiff:
The BIA has approved the Tribe’s selfdetermination contract requests for the fiscal years 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012, and shall transfer the amounts provided in those requests to the Tribe’s bank account … in accordance with the terms contained in the contract award documents.Order of January 13, 2012, ECF No. 126 ¶ 2 (“Settlement Agreement and Stipulation for Entry of Judgment and Order”).
For the reasons that follow, plaintiff’s request to enforce the judgment or for a contempt order will be denied.
Our prior post on this case includes materials on the court’s original denial of the government’s motion to dismiss.
