Cesspooch, Deanna Jack, Lorna S. Jenks, Maxine Manning, Randy McCook Sr., Crystal Moriarty, Joan J. Perank and ten others, three members of the Uncompahgre Band of the Ute Tribe have charged that the defendants violated their civil rights. Plaintiffs Lupe M. Duncan, Cecelia Jenks and Shirleta LaFramboise are charging that the violation occurred when the defendants defen-dants conspired together to coerce 30 people who had signed a petition peti-tion seeking the recall of Pike as business chairman to have their names removed, invalidating the recall effort. The petition contained the signatures signa-tures of 176 Uncompahgre Band members. According to the lawsuit, the petition signers were promised, assured and wrongfully induced into in-to having their names removed from the recall petition. The suit seeks to have the 30 names declared null and void and asks the court to move forward with a recall election on Pike. From May 26 to 31, the lawsuit claims the defendants actively pursued pur-sued statements from the 30 indi FOiL- l WF$& Whatever n U S WEST ETHICAL IN REGL'LTORY DEALINGS Lately, you may have heard or seen reports regarding recent Utah Supreme Court rulings that affect U S WEST Communications Communica-tions (USWC).

In a June 1 business committee meeting, the lawsuit states the vital statistics department reported that the document contained the requisite requi-site number of valid names to proceed pro-ceed with the recall process. According to the plaintiffs, however, howev-er, four of the six business committee commit-tee members voted to remove the names of the 30 signers after they were contacted by the defendants. Without those names, the recall petition pe-tition was effectively declared invalid. in-valid. The conspiracy charges were initially ini-tially filed in tribal court but were dismissed because the business committee, as an entity and not as individuals, was named as defendants. defen-dants. The plaintiffs were given the opportunity to refile when the technicality tech-nicality was corrected. One tribal member said this is the first time that such recall efforts against members of the governing business committee of a tribe have ever been filed in U.S. District Court. The defendants are seeking relief and monetary damages to be awarded award-ed at the time of trial. The recall petition pe-tition did not state the reason why Pike should be removed from office. of-fice. The defendants have 20 days from the time the lawsuit was served to respond to the complaint. mm & round 'em ud you want to sell ADVERTISE it in the Express TMfy Sbppct Call 789-3511 one by uhich every U S WLST S9S mir.ifl ifl te fc4t?rs. i rr ri-VfiJ ra?e rf ttv-xn. 7R1 111? |
