Another Amicus Brief Supporting Cert in Ceded Lands Case

By Robert Thomas (inversecondemnation.com)

The State of Washington, along with 28 other states and commonwealth, have filed an amicus brief in support of the State of Hawaii's petition for a writ of certiorari in the ceded lands case, Hawaii v. Office of Hawaiian Affairs, No. 07-1372 (cert. petition filed Apr. 29, 2008).  In that case, the State seeks U.S. Supreme Court review of the decision by the Hawaii Supreme Court in Office of Hawaiian Affairs v. Housing and Community Dev. Corp. of Hawaii, 117 Haw. 174, 177 P.3d 884 (Jan. 31, 2008).

The brief is available here.  The State of Hawaii's cert petition is here, and Pacific Legal Foundation's amicus brief supporting cert is here.
