Federal Court Grants Injunction in Oneida v. Paterson Tax Dispute

Matthew L.M. Fletcher

Here is the opinion: DCT Order Granting PI in OIN v Paterson.

An excerpt:

In light of the plain meaning of the section 471(6) that any negotiated, court approved tax agreement between the parties would control, an injunction precluding the state enforcement of the new law while the issues are in mediation and negotiation is clearly advisable. It would be counterproductive to enforce the new law while mediating and negotiating a possible tax agreement that would replace the new law in whole or in part.

Update in Seneca v. Paterson Tax Case

Matthew L.M. Fletcher

As Indianz reported, the TRO has been extended to September 14, on which day there will be an evidentiary hearing (Pre-Hearing Order).

In addition to Cayuga, which intervened in the Seneca suit, and St. Regis Mohawk, Oneida (Oneida Nation complaint in NDNY) and Unkechauge (COMPLAINT – Unkechauge Indian Nation 08 27 10) have filed their own separate complaints alleging substantially the same claims as Seneca.
