September 23, 2013: Jamul Action Committee and Jamul Community Church v. Stevens
The Plaintiffs challenge the National Indian Gaming Commission’s (“NIGC”) final agency
action that declared that the Jamul Indian Village (“JIV”) has “Indian lands” that qualify for
gambling under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (“IGRA”). (25 U.S.C. § 2703.) This
Indian lands determination (“ILD”) was first included in the “PUBLIC NOTICE: Notice of
Intent to Prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS; attached hereto as
Exhibit J) for the Approval of a Gaming Management Contract. The ILD was issued by the
Chairwoman of the NIGC and supported by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the
Interior (“DOI”) through their employees, designees and agencies, including the Bureau of
Indian Affairs (“BIA”). The ILD was first published in the Federal Register, on April 10,
2013. (78 Fed.Reg. 21398-21399.)
