Translation, please.
CONCLUSION
It is undisputed that the cattle belonging to Mr. Yowell were seized without a warrant or court order providing for the seizure of hislivestock. The only justification ever given was an alleged violation of BLM regulations. The BLM regulations have no jurisdiction over the ranges encompassed by the proclamation of 1941. Any action taken on the ranges based upon BLM regulations is therefore
unlawful. Mr. Yowell has the right to be a herdsman and to graze his cattle upon the lands reserved for that purpose. Since the BLM and others acting with the BLM interfered with Mr. Yowell’s rights, they are liable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Bivens, and the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934.
The 9th Circuit erred when it decided otherwise, and this Petitioner requests that this Honorable Court grant the Petition for Writ of Certiorari and REVERSE the 9th Circuit decision and enable Mr. Yowell to present witnesses, evidence and testimony to the District Court in support of his complaint. The petitioner also requests that this Court stop the deduction of his social security payments for the same reasons.

Apparently the BLM decided that they did not like actual tribal use of tribal lands because it wasn’t in accord with federal standards du jour, so the BLM stole Yowell’s cattle and sold them, then billed him for their efforts, then garnished his Social (ha) Security (hahahaha!) checks when he couldn’t or wouldn’t pay. According to Yowell, through counsel, the BLM has no jurisdiction on tribal lands.
This appears to have been done administratively, as Yowell is asking for his day in court, just once. The 9th Circuit upheld their fellow federal employees at BLM.
Now, through writ of certiorari it is being presented to the US Supreme Court requesting the Court to review the case. In a few months, unnoticed and unheralded, cert. will be denied and the BLM will have expanded its powers.
I *might* be wrong, but I doubt very much that more stylish issues will preclude the learned Court’s review of something as mundane as basic property rights and food production.
