Question Presented (from Petition)
I. Does the Ninth Circuit Opinion, allowing the
Nation to proceed with a claim to enjoin the Secretary
to develop a plan to meet the Nation's water needs and
manage the mainstream of the LBCR so as not to interfere with that plan, infringe upon this Court's retained and exclusive jurisdiction over the allocation of
water from the LBCR mainstream in Arizona v. California?
II. Can the Nation state a cognizable claim for
breach of trust consistent with this Court's holding in
Jicarilla based solely on unquantified implied rights to
water under the Winters Doctrine?
