From the Great Falls Tribune: "A federal judge Wednesday ruled that the Interior Department has "unreasonably delayed" its accounting for billions of dollars owed to Indian landholders."
The most recent opinion in Civil Action No. 1996-1285, Cobell, et al v. Norton, et al, was issued by Judge James Robertson of the D.C. District Court (note: the opinion is a 165-page PDF).
Press releases from the plaintiffs' side of the case are available on the Indian Trust: Cobell v. Kempthorne website.
