convincing evidence to approve the blood correction, per 81-250, for Taylor Jolene Signor. Through DNA testing
demonstrating 99.81% probability, Samuel PE Seyler
#7525, has been adjudicated as Taylor Jolene Signor's
biological paternal uncle, verifying John Lewis Seylor

blood quantum from 89/256 to 135/256. As required by 8-1250 (b), Ms. Taylor has been notified of the blood correction
and is in agreement. In the event the Enrollment Committee
does not vote in favor of this recommendation, nothing shall

governed by the arbitration and dispute resolution provisions
contained in the Transaction Documents shall be honored in
strict accordance with their terms, (ii) the agreements to
arbitrate set forth in the Transaction Documents shall be

for an order confirming an arbitration award with respect to
a Claim (an “Arbitration Award”), and it is the intent of the
Colville Business Council, and the Colville Business
Council hereby provides in accordance with Section 2-2-201
of the Law and Order Code, that each Arbitration Award is
