Summary:
This article is about the decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to extend the lease of Seneca land to the town of Salamanca, New York. The court said that the lease would stay in affect until a formal decision was made regarding a related case that would challenge the new leases. Earlier that year, Judge Richard J. Arcara ruled that the Seneca could not be challenged in court because they are a sovereign nation. The lawyer representing the residents believes that the case was wrongly dismissed, while the lawyer for the Seneca beleives that it was not. Until the case is decided, the old lease will remain in place.
