ZELA G. CLAIBORNE AS MEDIATOR

PURSUANT TO 25 U.S.C. 

§ 2710(d)(7)(B)(iv) AND REQUIRING 

THE PARTIES TO SUBMIT HER 

CURRICULUM VITAE

On January 13, 2016, this Court ordered the parties to show cause why the Court should 

not require the parties to submit to mediation pursuant to 25 U.S.C. § 2710(d)(7)(B)(iv) for 

having failed to conclude a compact within the statutorily set 60-day period. The parties filed a 

joint response on January 15, 2016, explaining that they have not concluded a compact. 

Accordingly, the Court must select a mediator. The parties have requested that Zela G. Claiborne 

be selected as mediator to carry out the responsibilities set out in § 2710(d)(7)(B)(iv)-(vii). The 

Court will tentatively select Ms. Claiborne as mediator pending favorable review of her 

curriculum vitae. The parties are ordered to submit a copy of Ms. Claiborne’s curriculum vitae 

by January 21, 2016. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 19, 2016
