Scotts Valley Band files final brief in Vallejo casino litigation
The Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians filed a final brief seeking dismissal of three cases brought by rival tribal entities over its proposed Vallejo casino. The dispute concerns a 160-acre parcel placed in trust by the Department of the Interior for gaming, housing and government operations; the department later said the original approval may have involved an error.
The filing seeks to advance the tribe’s casino plans while federal review of the land decision continues.
