Oklahoma v. Tyson Foods<br />

(N.D. Okla. 2009)<br />

Holding – Dismissed State’s <strong>NRD</strong> claims<br />

regarding Watershed because of failure to<br />

join an indispensible party.<br />

Oklahoma v. Tyson Foods<br />

(N.D. Okla. 2009)<br />

REASONING<br />

Because Cherokee Nation tribe has substantial<br />

interests in land, water, and other natural resources<br />

in the Watershed about which the State has brought<br />

an <strong>NRD</strong> claim, the Cherokee Nation is an<br />

indispensible party under<br />

<strong>Fe</strong>d.R.Civ.P. 19.<br />

The State’s supplemental filing of an agreement<br />

through which the Cherokee Nation attempts to<br />

assign the State the right to prosecute the Cherokee<br />

Nation’s <strong>NRD</strong> claims did not resolve <strong>Fe</strong>d.R.Civ.P. 19<br />

problem because agreement was invalid under<br />

Oklahoma law.<br />
