Court says compact invalid in Mescalero case
A 1995 gambling compact between the Mescalero Apache and New Mexico was ruled invalid by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court declined to address the validity of newer compacts signed by Gov. Gary Johnson, tribes, or related state law, noting those questions were not before the court. The Mescalero suit began in 1992 over good faith negotiation, with tribal casinos operated in the state and a related state court case ongoing.
