January 2001                          Celebrating 28 Years of Service                            Volume 28, No. 1


Month in Brief


                 UNITED STATES
              COURTS OF APPEALS

                SECOND CIRCUIT

Jurisdiction, Federal Court
State Jurisdiction
  Affirming the district court, the Second Circuit concludes
that the courts of the State of New York lack jurisdiction over
an internal tribal dispute that is being litigated in tribal court,
and the district court did not err in exercising jurisdiction over a
42 U.S.C. § 1983 action to enjoin the exercise of jurisdiction by
New York courts because 42 U.S.C. § 1983 does not require the
exhaustion of state court remedies before a federal court can
exercise jurisdiction. Bowen, Sr. v. Doyle, Jr., et al., No. 53,
Docket 97-9572, 28 Indian L. Rep. 2001 (2d Cir., Oct. 18, 2000).

                  NINTH CIRCUIT

Administrative Law and Procedure
Jurisdiction, Federal Court
Probate
  Finding that the district court did not err in dismissing an
action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, the Ninth Circuit
holds that the exhaustion requirements of 43 C.FR. § 4.21(c) do
not bar federal court jurisdiction over a colorable due process
claim regarding pending Indian probate proceedings. Anderson
v. Babbitt, No. 98-36150, 28 Indian L. Rep. 2003 (9th Cir., Oct.
30,2000).


Civil Jurisdiction
Tribal Courts: Jurisdiction
Tribal Law: Tribal Codes; Jurisdiction
  The Ninth Circuit reverses the district court's ruling in an
action challenging the Hoopa Valley Tribe's regulation of fee
land owned by a non-Indian and located within the exterior
boundaries of the Tribe's reservation, finding that in enacting
the Hoopa-Yurok Settlement Act, the Congress did not
expressly delegate authority to the Tribe to exercise jurisdiction
over non-members, and that the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in
Montana v. United States, 450 U. S. 544 (1981), controls the case.
Bugenig v. Hoopa Valley Tribe, et al., No. 99-15654,28 Indian L.
Rep. 2006 (9th Cir., Oct. 3, 2000).

                  TENTH CIRCUIT

Gaming- Indian Gaming Regulatory Act
  Affirming the district court's grant of summary judgment in
favor of the defendants-appellees, the Tenth Circuit concludes
that the MegaMania game challenged by the government is a
Class II game under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and
that the game's machines are not illegal gambling devices oper-
ated in violation of the Johnson Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1171-1178.
United States v. 162 Megamania Gambling Devices, et al., No.
99-5064, 28 Indian L. Rep. 2012 (10th Cir., Oct. 31, 2000).
