AIRCRAFT EQUIPMENT CO. v. Kiowa Tribe

SUMMERS, C.J.;

[ 1 This is the latest in a series of cases by which this Court has addressed the question of tribal sovereign immunity. Before the Court is an order of the District Court of Oklahoma County holding valid a series of garnishments against the Kiowa Tribe issued by Aireraft Equipment Co., the Tribe's judgment creditor. Although the Court had earlier denied the Defendant's motion to retain, we now withdraw that order and retain the appeal. We reverse the lower court's order, and remand with instructions to enter judgment for the Tribe.
