Anderson v. Parish

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court assumed original jurisdiction and issued a writ of prohibition, holding that the Okfuskee County District Court lacks subject‑matter jurisdiction over an intratribal leadership dispute involving the Thlopthlocco Tribal Town. The Court found that the dispute is non‑justiciable, that any purported waiver of sovereign immunity was not unequivocal, and therefore the lower court must dismiss the case.
