    Political History of Nevada Chapter 3 Historical and Political Data 91 CHAPTER 3: HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL DATA Historical and Political Data: Territorial Governments Through Statehood Reviewed and Updated by ART PALMER Former Research Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau (LCB) and Former Director of the LCB GUY ROCHA Former Nevada State Archivist ROBERT E. ERICKSON Former Research Director of the LCB In the beginning, the region now occupied by the State of Nevada was held by Data Historical the Goshute, Mojave, Paiute, Shoshone and Washoe Indians and claimed by the Spanish Empire until the early 1800s. Th e northern extent of the Spanish claim was defi ned as the 42nd parallel in the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 between the United States and Spain. Th is north latitude line serves currently as Nevada’s northern boundary with Oregon and Idaho. Spanish explorations into this region have never been documented clearly enough to establish any European party constituting the earliest expedition into Nevada. If in fact there was some penetration, it must have been by the Spanish in the southernmost portion of our state, possibly as early as 1776. In 1821 Mexico won its war of independence from Spain and gained control over all the former Spanish territory in the area of what is now our “South-West.” Spain had done nothing to occupy or control what is now Nevada, a vast region virtually “terra incognita,” having no permanent non-Indian population and considered barren, arid and inhospitable. Quite understandably, the Spanish concentrated on settlements and nominal control in the more accessible and better-known coastal regions of the Californias and New Mexico.

    Case 5:09-cv-00588-XR Document 4 Filed 08/10/09 Page 1 of 18 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS SAN ANTONIO DIVISION HOLLI LUNDAHL § a/k/a Holli Telford, § § Plaintiff, § v. § CIVIL ACTION NO. § ALBERT HAWKINS, § SA-09-CV-0588 XR Commissioner for the Dept. of Health and § Human Services for the State of Texas; § ANDREW ARNOTT, § LENORE LOPEZ, § AMANDA MATRAVERS, and § DOES EMPLOYEES of the Utah Dept. § of Health and Human Services; § ACCOUNTING OFFICIAL FOR BOP § in Austin, Texas; § USA; and § SONJA SORENSON, § § Defendants. § REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION TO: Honorable Xavier Rodriguez United States District Judge This report and recommendation recommends dismissal of this case and sanctions. Previously, the district judge referred to me plaintiff Holli Lundahl’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP).1 The motion includes a request for appointment of an attorney. In considering the motion, I observed that this case should be dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) and that Lundahl abuses the judicial system. Section 1915(e) provides for sua sponte dismissal of an IFP proceeding if the court finds 1Docket entry # 1. Case 5:09-cv-00588-XR Document 4 Filed 08/10/09 Page 2 of 18 that the complaint “is frivolous or malicious” or “fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.”2 This provision permits the court to dismiss those claims whose factual contentions are clearly baseless.3 Dismissal of a claim as frivolous is appropriate where the claim lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact.4 Similarly, it has been held that the “district court may dismiss an action on its own motion under Rule 12(b)(6) [of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure] ‘as long as the procedure employed is fair.’”5 Analyzing the merits of a plaintiff’s claim in a report and recommendation and giving the plaintiff an opportunity to object to the recommendation is a fair process for dismissing a case.

AXFORD, and LEE J. SIEGEL, Judge _____________ Plaintiffs, Vs. SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION, a Municipal corporation; and ROSS C. “ROCKY” ANDERSON, Mayor of Salt Lake City, in his official capacity, Defendants INTRODUCTION 1. This action arises from the extraordinary efforts Salt Lake City has undertaken to avoid the holding in First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City v. Salt Lake City Corporation, 308 F.3d 1114 (2002) (Main Street I), and to protect and advance the interests of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS Church) that are affected by that decision. The dispute involves a downtown pedestrian plaza recently built over a portion of Main Street in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City that was sold to the Church in 1999. In connection with that sale, the City sought to impose patently unconstitutional speech restrictions on the plaza by characterizing it as “private” even though the City reserved an easement and thereby maintained a public right of way through the property. In Main Street I, the Tenth Circuit held that the plaza was unquestionably a public forum despite the city’s characterization of the property as private.

  • 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.
