To: Mark Howell[howellstrategic@earthlink.net] From: Cason, James Sent: 2017-02-24T14:57:40-05:00 Importance: Normal Subject: Re: Legal Brief for Northern Arapaho Received: 2017-02-24T14:58:17-05:00 Thanks for the materials. I've asked Darrell to reach out to both tribal leaders to see if there is any interest in meeting Departmental leadership to discuss the issues involved. I have raised the possibility of partitioning the reservation.

LaCounte case, the opening brief on the Motion for Summary Judgement in the LaCounte case, which should give you a full understanding of the legal issues, a copy of the Federal Register Notices waiving the rules for establishment of a CFR Court on the Wind River Reservation, and the comments of the Northern Arapaho Tribe on the rule noticed in the Federal Register. At the conclusion of the summary are four requests for action, which will solve the issues included in the lawsuit from the perspective of the Northern Arapaho Tribe. Obviously the Tribe would like to settle this suit on the terms outlined in the summary. In the event you would like to get a hold of me directly, my cell number is (b) (6) Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to following up with you in the next week or so. Mark Mark A.
