Arizona Court of Appeals Dismisses Contract Claim Appeal against Yavapai

Here is the opinion in MM&A Productions v. Yavapai-Apache Nation (opinion). An excerpt:

Appellant MM & A Productions appeals from the trial court’s dismissal of its action against the Yavapai-Apache Nation’s Cliff Castle Casino (“the Tribe”). MM & A maintains the Tribe waived its sovereign immunity and the court erred in concluding it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the action. It also maintains the court wrongly “accelerate[d] the date by which [it] needed to appeal,” and erred in denying its motion for relief under Rule 60(c), Ariz. R. Civ. P. Because none of the orders from which MM & A appeals is appealable, we conclude we lack jurisdiction of this matter and dismiss the appeal.
