FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2001 A Maine judge on Wednesday agreed to let two Maine tribes hold off on releasing documents to private paper companies while the case is appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Penobscot Nation and Passamaquoddy Tribe have been previously ordered by a state court to turn over the documents. The paper companies want correspondece the tribe has made with the federal government over water quality in Indian Country. Subsequent appeals have failed. Superior Court Justice Robert Crowley said the tribe must start preparing the documents in case their appeal is not granted by the Supreme Court. The tribes have already filed papers with the Court.
