United States Tenth Circuit

On remand from the United States Supreme Court of an Indian nation's action against Kansas state officials for an order requiring that the state recognize motor vehicle registrations and titles issued by the nation, summary judgment for the tribe is affirmed where the district court: 1) did not abuse its discretion in issuing a permanent injunction; 2) did not err in its ruling that defendants were not entitled to sovereign immunity; nor 3) in ruling that the relief requested by the nation did not violate the Tenth Amendment.
