Office of the Navajo Nation President v. Navajo Nation Council

OPINION

Joe Shirley, Jr., in his capacity as President of the Navajo Nation and individually, filed an action for an ex parte temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the Navajo Nation Council and Lawrence T. Morgan, in his capacity as Speaker and individually, in the Window Rock District Court, to enjoin enforcement of Navajo Nation Council Resolution CO-41-09 placing him on administrative leave. The district court ruled that Resolution CO-41-09 is null and void and, therefore, unenforceable. We affirm the judgment invalidating Resolution CO-41-09 on different grounds.
