1 janv. 2000 - Case against Sec. Babbit dismissed

Description:

U.S. District Court Judge Richard D. Rogers threw out the lawsuit filed by the state and the indigenous tribes against Secretary Babbit on a technicality, ruling that the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma and its economic interests were essential parties to the lawsuit, but because the sovereign tribe would not consent to be sued, the case had to be dismissed.
