DC Circ. Denies Tribe s Intervention Bid In DOI Casino Fight
Law360 (July 6, 2021, 10:05 PM EDT) The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court s judgment Tuesday denying the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation s bid to intervene in the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians suit to get the federal government s approval of a casino plan, saying it is too far removed from the decision to argue an injury.
Yocha Dehe opposes the casino plan, but the panel said in a unanimous opinion authored by Judge Judith W. Rogers that should the Scotts Valley Band successfully win its suit, it must jump through other hoops before any plan could come to fruition.

3 hours ago
Last week, plaintiffs in the mass tort Flint water crisis lawsuit asked the court to finalize the $600 million partial proposed settlement. According to the motion, more than 50,000 claimants have âdetermined that they want this settlement approved.â The May 27 filing explained that the settlementâs details and addressed objections related to individual non-class claimantsâ concerns over the bone lead testing program.
The supporting memorandum stated that the settlement establishes a âhybrid structure,â combining the class action settlement with individual, traditional mass tort settlement components. Pursuant to the agreement, Flint adults, property owners, lessees, persons legally responsible for paying water bills, and businesses can make claims for personal injury and property and business damage, the motion noted.
