IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NORTH FORK RANCHERIA OF 

MONO INDIANS OF CALIFORNIA, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, 

Defendant. 

__________________________________/

1:15-cv-00419-AWI-SAB

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THE 

COURT SHOULD NOT ORDER THE 

PARTIES TO MEDIATION PURSUANT 

TO 25 U.S.C. § 2710(d)(7)(B)(iv)

On November 13, 2015, the Court determined that the State failed to enter into 

negotiations with North Fork for the purpose of entering into a Tribal-State compact within the 

meaning of 25 U.S.C. § 2710. It therefore ordered the parties to conclude a compact within 60 

days of the date of that order. See 25 U.S.C. § 2710(d)(7)(B)(iii). That statutorily prescribed

60-day period expired on January 12, 2016. If the parties failed to conclude a compact, the Court 

must select a mediator and order the State and the Tribe to each submit “a proposed compact that 

represents their last best offer for a compact.” 25 U.S.C. § 2710(d)(7)(B)(iv). The Court has been 

provided with no indication that a compact has been concluded. Accordingly, the parties are each 

ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by January 15, 2016, why the Court should not select a 

mediator and require the parties to submit their last best offers. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 13, 2016
