TUESDAY, MAY 20, 2003 An attorney for the California tribe at the center of a Supreme Court case says the court's ruling is not anti-tribal government. The Bishop Paiute Tribe sued Inyo County after county officials seized tribal casino records using bolt cutters. The tribe said its civil rights and sovereign immunity were violated. The Supreme Court, in a unanimous ruling yesterday, didn't speak specifically to that point. But it threw out a ruling in the the tribe's favor and said the tribe can't sue the county under federal civil rights law. The case is Inyo County v. Bishop Paiute Tribe, No. 02-281. Get the Story:
