Fees. Tribes. Arbitration.

Findleton v. Coyote Valley Band of Pomo Indians, No. A145444 (D1d2 as modified, Sept. 26, 2018).

In a prior appeal in this case, the First District held that an Indian tribe had waived its sovereign immunity such that it could be compelled to arbitrate. A second appeal reversed a grant of attorneys’ fees to the Tribe in connection with the denied motion to compel, because, in light of the first appeal, the Tribe was no longer the prevailing party. On remand, the case was compelled to arbitration and fees awarded to the Plaintiff.
