If one judge makes a ruling that basically re-instates a void judgment as declared by another district judge, is that a subject matter jurisdiction argument?

Thanks for the A2A, Danny LaCurt.Technically, a question of subject matter jurisdiction (SMJ) is the authority of a court to hear cases of a particular type or cases relating to a specific subject matter. As an example, in many state courts, the local (often called the District Court or Superior Court) may have different divisions or judges assigned to the case type. Family Court, Criminal Court, and Probate Court are types of courts where the type of subject matter restricts the judge.,If in your question, one or both of the judges are acting outside of their subject matter jurisdiction, then the case will be moved to the appropriate court. If one has SMJ, and the other does not, then only the court with SMJ can render an enforceable ruling regarding the case, and this includes judgments, decrees, or orders.Another type of jurisdiction that could be at play is that between courts of general jurisdiction and those with limited jurisdiction. Courts with general jurisdiction can hear all types of cases. They can hear any case which is not legally bound to a specific court. In other words, the court with general jurisdiction is also likely the court with SMJ. A court with limited jurisdiction usually has no authority over the subject matter; thus, the court does not have SMJ.This is where your question gets tricky, depending on what you meant the by this statement: “re-instates a void judgment as declared by another district judge.” To fully address the issue we must first break it down into the individual components of the question so that we be sure we are all on the same page with the answer. Let’s start with the term “void judgment,” which presents an initial problem as with many of the jurisdiction and authority issues we use.The way you’ve worded it, some folks might see three courts involved, and most will see two courts. In the first instance, the wording is that a judgment was created (judge 1) and that it was voided by a second judge (judge 2), which in turn was reinstated by a third judge (judge 3). So let’s use this and see what we have.All cases begin somewhere in the court system. At the state and federal level the most common court is that of the District Court. There are District Courts in all of the states, but in some states, they may be called Superior Courts or some other name. The idea is that at the state level, the “case in controversy” must begin somewhere, so, for now, we’ll use District Court as our court of original jurisdiction. We can also use the term District Court for the federal court system. Cases begin in the Court of Original Jurisdiction, which is the Federal District Court. The FDCs are in districts which reflect the number of seats the states hold in the House of Representatives. Thus, in Oklahoma where I live, we have three district courts. One serves the “Northern District,” one the “Western District,” and one the Eastern. These courts are located in Tulsa (Northern), Oklahoma City (Western), and Muscogee (Eastern).As noted above, a district court is the court of original jurisdiction, and as such the judges often have the same authority. The most common authority is that of general jurisdiction, meaning they can hear a variety of cases. At the same time, as part of an administrative process, some of the judges can be assigned certain types of cases. Either when the law demands such assignment or when the administration of justice demands such division, we would find a court of limited jurisdiction.So let’s apply that to your question and the first interpretation of courts. The case would have started at the District Court level (with some exceptions) and would have been assigned to the appropriate judge for that venue. In the smallest courts in our state, we have only one judge at the courthouse, and this may be an Assistant District Judge, Associate District Judge, or District Juge. The point is that there may be several judges or there may be only one in the particular courthouse.In your question, we can presume that the original matter went before Judge 1, which in turn either through jury or bench trial or from the agreement of the parts in a decree or judgment, has entered judgment on the case at hand. And here’s the first tricky spot.We have a multi-tiered judicial system at both the state and federal levels. For most states, and definitely in the federal system, the setup looks something like this.Supreme Court(Generally holds Appellate Jurisdiction, but in some cases may hold Original Jurisdiction)Intermediate Appellate Court(Court of Appellate Jurisdiction)District Court(Court of Original Jurisdiction)In general jurisdiction and court authority matters, we see that the original judgment comes from the District Court. If that matter is to be reviewed, then it must go to a court with Appellate Jurisdiction. As a rule, we not normally see two District Court Judges, both holding General Jurisdiction, with the power or authority to review and take action in an appealed case. That would be reserved for the Intermediate Appellate Court.There are a few exceptions, especially in the courts where the judges are divided as to their rank/authority, a special review tribunal exists, or when the law or administrative rule dictates that such review may be made. But these are the exceptions to the rule. What this means is that it would be unlikely that Judge 1, who has general jurisdiction and original jurisdiction, would have any judgment from his/her court reviewed by an equal judge of the same court level.Along with the nomenclature and jurisdiction issues, we would see that there are issues of what authority a court may have. Even if, under special circumstances, we have a court of original jurisdiction, with two or more judge holding both original and general jurisdiction, then it is unlikely their actual power would extend to the point that they could review a fellow judge’s judgment. Similarly, again under special circumstances, if such authority did exist, then it would be double the issue if we are talking about three or more judges at the same level being involved. In your question, then, we would see that a clear conflict would arise when you have Judge 1 entering the original judgment, Judge 2 overturning that judgment, and then Judge 3 coming along later to reinstate the original judgment. Because of the nature of judicial authority, and to help avoid this type of issue, the rules of Appellate Procedure, as well as the various rules at the trial court level, will dictate who has authority, and in most instances, it is going to a court of appellate jurisdiction.Only the court of appellate jurisdiction has both the authority to hear the case but also the power (authority) to rule on the actions of a lower court. There are specific rules on the way a matter can be brought to the appellate level and on what the court can do once it is there. For our purposes, though, having this tri-level court system helps in avoiding a lot of the problems we might see without it.Long answer, but I hope something in here helps you understand the basics.

What exactly are Indian courts (Native American)?

It is very, very complex. There are hundreds of tribes with courts and each is a little different.The general rule is that States have no jurisdiction over the activities of Indians and tribes in Indian country. Basically the principal is the land and jurisdiction was before the existence of the states or territories, in many cases. What they have is the land remaining after the ceded the rest by forced treaty or land given ins compensation of what they ceded. The tribal courts cover some laws and then the federal courts cover the rest. The land is held in trust for the tribes by the federal government so they have the responsibility of administering justice. The tribal lands are NOT state lands. But, it depends a great deal on what state and what reservation you are on. Just as is true in the rest of the US, most law and courts are is different from place to place. General Rules Criminal Jurisdiction in Indian CountryGenerally, tribal courts have civil jurisdiction over Indians and non-Indians who either reside or do business on federal Indian reservations. They also have criminal jurisdiction over violations of tribal laws committed by tribal members residing or doing business on the reservation. It depends a lot on who the victim and perpetrator are (tribal or not) and on what tribal land it happened. The latest numbers of enrolled triabl members who might be under a courts jurisdiction is they were living on the reservation is 12 years out of date. In 2005 the total number of enrolled members of the (then) 561 federally recognized tribes was shown to be less than half the Census number, or 1,978,099. There are now 567 tribes and the population has grown, probably above 2.1 million. Most, however, do not live on Indian lands and thus would only be effected by this when they visit. About 60–70% don’t live on reservation lands.Tribal courts are responsible for appointing guardians, determining competency, awarding child support from Individual Indian Money (IIM) accounts, determining paternity, sanctioning adoptions, marriages, and divorces, making presumptions of death, and adjudicating claims involving trust assets. There are approximately 225 tribes that contract or compact with the BIA to perform the Secretary’s adjudicatory function and 23 Courts of Indian Offenses (also known as CFR courts) which exercise federal authority. The Indian Tribal Justice Act of 1993 (P.L. 103-176, 107 Stat. 2005) supports tribal courts in becoming, along with federal and state courts, well-established dispensers of justice in Indian Country.There are Also CFR courts (Code of Federal Regulations).After the reservations in Oklahoma were opened by land runs to non-Indian homesteading, and federal Indian policy sought to weaken tribal governments and break up tribal land holdings, the courts over time lost their funding and consequently ceased to function. With the void in the enforcement of tribal law, the state began to assert its authority over the remaining tribal and allotted Indian lands even though no jurisdiction properly existed. In recent decades, the Indian tribes have regained the jurisdiction over these lands and have re-established tribal court systems.The State of Oklahoma once contended that tribal governments had no authority to operate their own justice systems, arguing that the Indian nations had no land remaining under their jurisdictions. Much confusion arose because many thought that tribes only asserted jurisdiction over “reservation” lands. Many people in Oklahoma incorrectly assumed that reservations were terminated at statehood. Recent court decisions have made it clear that tribes assert jurisdiction over all lands that are “Indian country”, including reservations, dependent Indian communities, and Indian allotments. These Indian country lands from the basis of tribal jurisdiction today. Since few Indian tribes had operating judicial systems in place in the late 1970's. When tribal jurisdiction was re-affirmed, the Court of Indian Offenses for the Anadarko Area Tribes now the Southern Plains Region Tribes was created. Courts of Indian Offenses are established throughout the U.S. under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), providing the commonly used name — the “CFR” Court”. Until such time as a particular Indian tribe establishes their own tribal court, the Court of Indian Offenses will act as a tribe’s judicial system. The only difference between CFR Courts and Tribal Courts is the form of laws they enforce.When the court was re-established in western Oklahoma in 1979, there were four CFR Courts covering eighteen Indian nations. A number of tribes have since established their own systems of justice. Accordingly, the CFR Courts for these tribes have been deactivated. In 1991, a separate CFR Court system was established for Eastern Oklahoma Region Tribes covering eastern Oklahoma, which is headquartered in Muskogee, Oklahoma.One big difference between Tribal courts and other types of state or local courts, is that, as in many places on other lands that are controlled or held in trust by the Federal government, some serious crimes are not dealt with by the local, tribal or state authorities but by the FBI and the Federal courts. This is analogous to what happens with crime is a Federal Park or BLM or Forest land, or on a military base. What crimes on Indian reservations are dealt with by the FBI.“The FBI is responsible for investigating the most serious crimes in Indian Country— such as murder, child sexual and physical abuse, violent assaults, drug trafficking, gaming violations, and public corruption matters. Nationwide, the FBI has investigative responsibilities for some 200 federally recognized Indian reservations. More than 100 agents in 19 of the Bureau’s 56 field offices work Indian Country matters full time.” Indian Country Crime There are 566 federally recognized American Indian Tribes in the United States, and the FBI has federal law enforcement responsibility on nearly 200 Indian reservations. This federal jurisdiction is shared concurrently with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office of Justice Services (BIA-OJS).Here is a map of the Indian Country Federal judicial districts. Indian Country in Judicial DistrictsHere is the General Crimes Act (18 USC 1152): This federal statue (enacted in 1817 and set forth below) provides that the federal courts have jurisdiction over interracial crimes committed in Indian country as set forth below:Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the general laws of the United States as to the punishment of offenses committed in any place within the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, except in the District of Columbia, shall extend to the Indian Country.This section shall not extend to offenses committed by one Indian against the person or property of another Indian, nor to any Indian committing any offense in the Indian Country who has been punished by the local law of the tribe, or to any case where, by treaty stipulations, the exclusive jurisdiction over such offenses is or may be secured to the Indian tribes respectively.The Major Crimes Act : The Major Crimes Act (enacted following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1883 Ex Parte Crow Dog decision) provides for federal criminal jurisdiction over seven major crimes when committed by Indians in Indian country. Over time, the original seven offenses have been increased to sixteen offenses currently. So, these crimes are usually prosecuted in Federal District courts.In 1953, Public law 280 was passed. It grants certain states criminal jurisdiction over American Indians on reservations and to allow civil litigation that had come under tribal or federal court jurisdiction to be handled by state courts. However, the law did not grant states regulatory power over tribes or lands held in trust by the United States; federally guaranteed tribal hunting, trapping, and fishing rights; basic tribal governmental functions such as enrollment and domestic relations; nor the power to impose state taxes. These states also may not regulate matters such as environmental control, land use, gambling, and licenses on federal Indian reservations.This changed things in Some states. The states required to assume civil and criminal jurisdiction over federal Indian lands were Alaska (except the Metlakatla Indian Community on the Annette Island Reserve, which maintains criminal jurisdiction), California, Minnesota (except the Red Lake Reservation), Nebraska, Oregon (except the Warm Springs Reservation), and Wisconsin. In addition, the federal government gave up all special criminal jurisdiction in these states over Indian offenders and victims. The states that elected to assume full or partial jurisdiction were Arizona (1967), Florida (1961), Idaho (1963, subject to tribal consent), Iowa (1967), Montana (1963), Nevada (1955), North Dakota (1963, subject to tribal consent), South Dakota (1957-1961), Utah (1971), and Washington (1957-1963).Subsequent acts of Congress, court decisions, and state actions to retrocede jurisdiction back to the Federal Government have muted some of the effects of the 1953 law, and strengthened the tribes’ jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters on their reservations.Here is a summary of who has what jurisdiction: 689.

There is no state regulatory jurisdiction.Each tribe has it’s own tribal traditions; history on its own and with the Federal government; language, culture and philosophy; and resources. Most courts are directly based on American laws and traditions. But a few courts have been experimenting with a more tribal tradition based judicial philosophy.The Navajo Nation Peacemaker Courts are an example of this. They basically work the same as if two parties chose to submit to arbitration.People are not forced into these courts. They follow traditional idea of justice which are not revenge or compensation based as in Northern European traditions but which put a priority on balance and harmony and relationships (Hozho and K’e). The Navajo Nation Peacemaking Program. Here is a booklet on what they do. http://www.navajocourts.org/Peacemaking/Plan/PPPO2013-2-25.pdfHere is a statement of how is works and the goals. It is very different than the Anglo-American legal tradition. There are twelve people who work as Peacemakers in these courts. The Navajo Nation has 300,000 enrolled members and is the size of Belgium and Holland combined so they have 11 districts.Hózhóji Naat’aah (Diné Traditional Peacemaking)Traditional Diné Peacemaking begins in a place of chaos, hóóchx̨o’/anáhóót’i’, whether within an individual or between human beings. Perhaps due to historical trauma, Navajos shy away from face-to-face confrontations. However, such confrontations are vital in order to dispel hóóchx̨o’/anáhóót’i’. The Peacemaker has the courage and skills to provide the groundwork for the person or group to confront hóóchx̨o’/anáhóót’i’ and move toward mastering harmonious existence. Life value engagement with the peacemaker provides the sense of identity and pride from our cultural foundations. Hóóchx̨o’/anáhóót’i’ can block and overwhelm clanship, k’é, which is normally what binds human beings together in mutual respect. Through engagement, the Peacemaker educates, persuades, pleads and cajoles the individual or group toward a readiness to open up, listen, share, and make decisions as a single unit using k’é. When hóóchx̨o’/anáhóót’i’ is confronted, people may learn there is a choice to leave it. When harmony, hózh̨̨ó, is self-realized, sustaining it will have clarity and permanent hózh̨̨ó will be self-attainable, hózh̨ǫ́ójí k’ehgo nįná’íldee’ iłhááhodidzaa ná’oodzíí’.Through stories and teachings, the Peacemaker dispenses knowledge, naat'áánii, in order to guide the whole toward a cathartic understanding of hózh̨̨ó that opens the door to transformative healing. The flow of hózh̨̨ó is a movement inwards toward the core issue or underlying truth. Recognition of this truth and the ending of denial provide the opportunity for healing or mutual mending. Realization of the truth occurs when individual feelings are fundamentally satisfied. The resolution of damaged feelings is the core material of peacemaking sessions, hózh̨óji naat’aah. Depending on the skill of the Peacemaker, hózh̨̨ó may be short or may take several peacemaking sessions.The Dynamics of Navajo PeacemakingLiving Traditional Justicehttp://commission-on-legal-pluralism.com/volumes/44/nielsen-art.pdfIndigenous Justice Systems and Tribal SocietyHere is a list of the different tribal courts in the US.

Comments from Our Customers

I needed to cancel my account but had trouble doing so. The online customer support person Kara was so helpful! I am unemployed now like so many others and cannot afford the service any longer. But, once I get going again, this is the service I will sign up with. Wonderful service!
