   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-3424
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Western   
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Benton and Grasz, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Indian law. Plaintiff challenged a provision of the tribal constitution requiring nonresidents to return to the reservation to vote in tribal elections; the district court did not err in dismissing the action for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction; this court has previously held that the Voting Rights Act does not apply to Indian tribes because they are not states or political subdivisions subject to the Act; the district court did not err in finding that the Indian Civil Rights Act does not contained a private right of action to seek injunctive or declaratory relief in federal court; as plaintiff did not allege he intended to run for public office he lacked standing to challenge the Tribe's eligibility requirement for holding public office.
