Questions presented:

1. This case presents the question whether the Secretary may conclude that a casino “would not be detrimental to the surrounding community” despite uncontroverted evidence the casino will have unmitigated detrimental impacts to the community.

2. This case presents the question whether multiple Indians residing on the same reservation are, per se, an “Indian tribe” irrespective of the individual Indians‘ tribal affiliations, if any.

Split Cal. COA Holds Gov. Brown’s Concurrence in North Fork Compact is Invalid

Matthew L.M. Fletcher

Here are the opinions in Stand Up For California v. State of California (PDF). An excerpt from the lead opinion:

The judgment is reversed. The Governor’s concurrence is invalid under the facts alleged in this case. Plaintiffs have stated a cause of action for a writ of mandate to set the concurrence aside on the ground that it is unsupported by legal authority. The matter is remanded for further proceedings, and the trial court is directed to vacate its order sustaining the demurrers and enter a new order overruling them.
