Ruling in Plains Commerce case expected by July
Thursday, June 5, 2008
Filed Under:
Law
A ruling in the
U.S. Supreme Court case,
Plains Commerce Bank v. Long, is expected by July, according to the
National Congress of American
Indians.
The case will determine whether the
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota has jurisdiction over the non-Indian owned
Plains Commerce Bank. Two federal courts have sided with tribal jurisdiction.
"The Plains Commerce Bank case is an extremely important case for tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction over predatory lending," NCAI general counsel John Dossett said. "The case, expected to be decided by the July 4 recess, concerns an agricultural loan between a bank and an Indian-owned ranching operation."
The case was discussed during NCAI's mid-year session this week in Reno, Nevada.
