(New York).- New York State announced Monday a federal appeals court has affirmed the Seneca Nation must pay casino revenue to the state.
The decision on this case dates back to 2019 when A U.S. District Court judge ordered the Seneca Nation to pay New York State more than $255 million in casino revenues as part of its 2002 compact with the state.
In 2019 the district court found in favor of an arbitration panel, which ruled in April of 2019, that the Senecas had not fulfilled their share of the revenue sharing agreement.
Monday, the federal court of appeals affirmed the 2019 decision of the district court after the Seneca Nation appealed the decision.
"The Seneca Nation of Indians (the “Nation”) argues that the arbitration panel majority manifestly disregarded the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and the district court erred in confirming the award. Alternatively, the Nation argues that the district court erred in declining to refer the issues raised to the Department of the Interior pursuant to the primary jurisdiction doctrine. We agree with the district court that the dispute was a question of contractual interpretation reserved to the arbitral panel and referral was not necessary. Therefore, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court," court documents say.
New York State Budget Director Robert Mujica said it is about $435 million that is owed.
