1Opinion of the Court
HALL, Circuit Judge:
Defendants-appellants appeal the order of the Eastern District of New York (Amon, J.), preliminarily enjoining the sale of untaxed cigarettes to anyone not a member of the Unkechauge Nation. We consider here whether the City of New York (the “City”) has demonstrated that it is entitled to a preliminary injunction. In order to effectuate our analysis, for the reasons that follow, we certify to the New York Court of Appeals two questions regarding the effect of §§ 471 and 471-e of the New York Tax Code on cigarette sales on Native American reservation land.
