Scudero and Gunyah also argue that sovereign immunity, an issue brought up in tribal court, “is not a persuasive legal principle in this case” and “is an abuse of this doctrine to settle cases brought against the tribal council by tribal citizens.”

Jim Scudero and Michele Gunyah, who were both losing candidates in the election, filed their complaint April 1 in U.S.

In their motion filed Tuesday, Scudero and Gunyah are asking the federal court to order an election audit.

Scudero had lost the mayoral race to MIC Mayor Audrey Hudson, while Gunyah lost a bid for secretary to Judith Eaton.

In his decision, he found that Scudero and Gunyah “have raised no issues or law that would overcome sovereign immunity of the tribe.”
