The secret, or so he said, Appellate Case: 19-4147 Document: 010110567123 Date Filed: 08/26/2021 Page: 2 was in mitigating investment risks. But as it turned out, nestled in Utah’s Wasatch Front, Koerber was operating a multi-million-dollar fraud scheme. It started in the early 2000s with a seemingly benign business model of buying undervalued real estate and selling it at a profit.

  • Chronicles of the Federal Court in Utah
    FAITH OR FEDERALISM: CHRONICLES OF THE FEDERAL COURT IN UTAH BY IRA COHEN s my fellow Federal Bar Association members converge on Salt Lake City for the 2015 Annual Meeting and Convention to be held Sept. 10-12, I hope they will carve out some time in their harried schedules to visit the old federal courthouse, a building on the National Historic Register. Observe the Classical Revival style of architecture, the fluted Doric columns, and the fine Utah granite facades. The floors of the lobby and corridors are a blend of marble, tile, and terrazzo, while the three original courtrooms Awere ornate, ornamental marvels, rising two stories high. Notice also the eagles with outstretched wings that flank the steps. But below those elaborate decorative bronze and aluminum grilles, the massive entrance doors invite one to step back into times gone by and witness a rich and raucous history that will capture and captivate students of judicial history and jurisprudence. In the early 1800s, Utah marked one of the westernmost bound- administrators who barked orders and dispatched troops from the aries of 19th-century American civilization. Before long, however, nation’s capital, whom they viewed as the very incarnation of cor- pioneers, religious pilgrims, Native Americans, fortune-seekers ruption and evil: and, eventually, Washington, D.C., politicians and their lapdog bureaucrats all were mightily engaged in a decadeslong scrimmage “I arose and spoke substantially as follows: … I love the for control of a lush and pristine geographic area comprised of government and the constitution of the United States, but I approximately 85,000 square miles of largely uncharted wilder- do not love the damned rascals who administer the govern- ness.

Case No. 2:16-cv-00579 HONORABLE BARRY G. LAWRENCE, District Judge, Utah Third Judicial District, and LYNN D. BECKER, Judge Clark Waddoups Defendants. This case presents a clash between the parties’ claims as to which court has jurisdiction over a state law contract dispute: the Ute Indian Tribal Court or the state courts of Utah. The dispute is between a non-Indian, Lynn Becker, and the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation (the Tribe)1 under a contract that includes express waivers of the Tribe’s sovereign immunity and any requirement for exhaustion of remedies in the Tribal Court. The Tribe’s Business Committee approved the contract by a resolution that incorporated the contract by reference. The Tribe was represented in the transaction by experienced and competent counsel. A tribal ordinance in force at the time expressly stated that the Tribal Court lacked jurisdiction over such a dispute with the Tribe. In connection with entering the contract with Becker, the Tribe adopted the Ute Energy Operating Agreement, amended three times, for which the Tribe requested and received certification from the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, that no federal approval was required because it created no interest in trust lands 1 The Plaintiffs in this matter also include the Uintah and Ouray Tribal Business Committee, Shaun Chapoose, former Chairman of the Tribal Business Committee, and Ute Energy Holdings, LLC.

In a unanimous opinion issued Friday, the Supreme Court granted legal standing to Grantsville and returned several issues in the lawsuit to the district court, while also upholding a portion of the district court’s dismissals in the case. Overall, the decision represents a small victory for Grantsville in the costly and long-running legal battle between Tooele County’s two largest municipalities. Tooele City officials had hoped the case would end with the Supreme Court. The lawsuit stems from Tooele’s sale of 1,700 acres of former Tooele Army Depot property for $15 million in 1999 and centers on ques- Maegan Burr tions of what Tooele promised to do in a Grantsville Junior High School teacher Corey Grua talks to his first-hour class Tuesday morning about the core test that they took the day before.
