U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-3408
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Melloy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. For the court's prior opinion
in the case, see City of Duluth v. Fond Du Lac Band of Lake Superior
Chippewa, 702 F.3d 1147 (8th Cir. 2013). On remand from that earlier
opinion, the district court failed to consider a factor - the
congressional policy behind the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and the
creation of the Gaming Commission, including Congress's express intent
that the tribes be the primary beneficiaries of Indian casinos - in making
its ruling, and the matter is remanded for further proceedings.
