The U.S. Supreme Court is taking a really long time with Michigan v. Bay Mills Indian Community, an Indian gaming case.

Oral arguments took place on December 2, 2013. Cases heard around the same time, and even more recently, have already been adjudicated so the court has been taking a longer time than expected to release an opinion.

There is no explanation for the delay. But Richard Guest, an attorney with the Native American Rights Fund, said last month it could indicate that the justices are deeply divided on the matter.

The outcome will determine whether the state of Michigan can sue the Bay Mills Indian Community for operating an off-reservation casino on land that has not been placed in trust or restricted status. Tribal advocates fear the court could significantly erode the doctrine of sovereign immunity.
