The Michigan Supreme Court issued an order on September 18, 2009, regarding the appeal of a judgment from the Court of Appeals related to the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. The case involves Bernard Bouschor, the former tribal chairperson, as the appellant. The Court directed the parties to submit supplemental briefs within 35 days addressing whether Michigan’s governmental tort liability act (MCL 691.1401 et seq.) is applicable to Bouschor, given the Tribe's sovereign status and relevant definitions in the act. The application for leave to appeal remains pending. The order is certified by Clerk Corbin R. Davis.
