JUDGE
by the 10th Circuit's
decision to have the case
reassigned.
So, besides the tribe,
who does Jenkins think
might have been responsible for the change in
course? In the letter,
he took a veiled shot at
the federal government
without mentioning the
government by name.
Instead, he used the word
"amicus" because the
United States participated in the 10th Circuit's
proceeding as a friend
of the court. During oral
arguments on March 8,
Judge Gorsuch posed a
big question -- "Do we
need to reassign this
case?" -- to the federal
government.
Jenkins does not say
how that question was
answered by Gina Allery,
a member of the Turtle
Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians who is a
senior attorney at the Department of Justice. But
he was clearly bothered
by the 10th Circuit's reliance on how "amicus"
responded.
"The Court of Appeals
had the benefit of amicus
who at no time ever appeared before the assigned Judge and never
presented either factual
or written material in the
GOVERNOR

has failed to enforce any
prior rulings.
"Let me be clear. I care
not who finishes Ute '75.
As you know, I have a
calendar of complex and
challenging matters,"
Jenkins wrote in the letter, the contents of which
were first reported by
The Salt Lake Tribune.
"I do care that an alleged
factual basis for an order
of reassignment be accurate as well as adequate."
Despite claiming not to
"care" who finishes the
case, Jenkins took aim at
the tribe for seeking to
have him removed from
it. He said the tribe filed
a motion to recuse him
on the "eve" of a "final
hearing" and a key trial
that had been scheduled
to take place in March.
As a result, he said he
was forced to cancel
both proceedings, which
he believed could have
helped settle the longrunning dispute.
"It was a mighty struggle
to get that far," Jenkins
wrote in the letter.
Jenkins noted that the
tribe's motion, which was
filed on March 7, was
denied in an "exhaustive" opinion written by a
different federal judge on
July 25. But that 54-page
ruling was rendered moot
