United States Seventh Circuit
State of Wisconsin v. Ho-Chunk Nation, 06-1053
Denial of Indian nation's motion to dismiss in a suit alleging violation of a compact with the State of Wisconsin enabling gaming on the nation's land is vacated and remanded with instructions to dismiss the suit where the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction, since the complaint did not present a federal question under either the Federal Arbitration Act or the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. The nation's motion for sanctions is denied.
