Wyoming SCT Issues Mixed Opinion in Northern Arapaho Tribe v. Baldwin, Crocker, and Rudd

Here.

An excerpt:

BCR did not comply with the procedural requirements of Rule 11, and the district court erred when it imposed Rule 11 sanctions on the Tribe. The district court’s order imposing Rule 11 sanctions is reversed, and this matter is remanded to the district court with direction that the order imposing sanctions be vacated. We affirm the district court’s order granting summary judgment on the accounting claim because the Tribe could not bring a cause of action for an accounting under W.R.P.C. 1.15(e), and the Tribe failed to show its conversion and civil theft claim was not an adequate remedy at law. We affirm the jury’s verdict after finding the Tribe failed to show the verdict would have been more favorable to the Tribe if the racially charged evidence and argument had not been admitted.

Not Wind River . . . Creek Nation.
