Pascua Yaqui Tribe Court of Appeals
Francisco F. Madril, Petitioner/Defendant,
v.
The Honorable Melvin Stoof,
Pascua Yaqui Tribal Court, Respondent.
ORDER
Nicholas A. Fontana, Esq., Office of Pascua Yaqui Public Defender, Tucson, Arizona, for
Petitioner/Defendant.
Pursuant to PYTRAP 24(C), this Court finds that the Defendant’s petition for writ
of mandamus should be summarily denied. The issue brought before this Court deals
with the factual question of whether the Defendant was absent from Pascua Yaqui Tribe
territorial jurisdiction on certain days that the alleged offenses were committed; this issue
is better left for a jury to decide. We agree with the trial court that the Defendant’s
motion to dismiss the named criminal counts is based upon alibi defense/testimony,
which does not contest Pascua Yaqui Tribe territorial jurisdiction. Accordingly, the
“Petition for Writ of Mandamus” is summarily denied.

Attorney for Petitioner/Defendant
I. STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
This petition is filed pursuant to the provisions of Article VIII, § 2, Constitution of the
Pascua Yaqui Tribe and 3 PYTRAP Rule 24 of the Pascua Yaqui Judicial Titles and Codes.
II. STATEMENT OF FACTS
On May 11, 2006, the Tribe filed a sixty (60) count criminal complaint against Petitioner
Francisco Madril. [Appendix, Exhibit 1]. The Petitioner has remained in custody pending the
posting of a cash bond in the amount of one-thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per count, for a combined
bond in the amount of sixty-thousand dollars ($60,000.00). [Appendix, Exhibit 2].
On September 6, 2006, the Petitioner filed a Motion to Dismiss (Lack of Jurisdiction) and
requested an evidentiary hearing on the motion. [Appendix, Exhibit 3]. The Tribe filed its response
on October 9, 2006. [Appendix, Exhibit 4]. On October 10, 2006, the Respondent issued an order
setting the evidentiary hearing on Petitioner’s Motion to Dismiss (Lack of Jurisdiction) for
November 1, 2006. [Appendix, Exhibit 5]. The Petitioner filed his reply on October 18, 2006.
[Appendix, Exhibit 6]. In anticipation of the evidentiary hearing, the Petitioner subpoenaed two
witnesses to provide testimony in support of his Motion to Dismiss (Lack of Jurisdiction).
[Appendix, Exhibits 7-8].
At the evidentiary hearing on November 1, 2006, the Respondent refused to allow the
Petitioner to present any testimony in support of his Motion to Dismiss (Lack of Jurisdiction).
[Appendix, Exhibit 9]. Without hearing any evidence, the Respondent denied the Petitioner’s
Motion to Dismiss (Lack of Jurisdiction). [Id.]. The Respondent ruled that “the defendant’s
motion to dismiss based on subject matter jurisdiction shall be denied insofar as it attempts to
provide alibi testimony, that the defendant was not within the reservation boundaries during the
time of the alleged offenses, rather than testimony which goes to challenge the territorial jurisdiction
of the court.” [Id.]
III. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
A. Whether the Respondent erred in refusing to allow the Petitioner to present evidence
in support of his Motion to Dismiss (Lack of Jurisdiction).
IV.
ARGUMENT
A. The Respondent erred in refusing to allow the Petitioner to present evidence in
support of his Motion to Dismiss (Lack of Jurisdiction).
The criminal jurisdiction of the Pascua Yaqui Tribal Court extends to all matters
where members or non-members of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe are parties unless otherwise
prohibited by federal or tribal laws. Article VIII, § 2, Constitution of the Pascua Yaqui
Tribe. The jurisdiction of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe extends only to the lands within the
exterior boundaries of the Pascua Yaqui Indian Reservation. Article II, Constitution of the
Pascua Yaqui Tribe. The Pascua Yaqui Tribal Court does not have criminal jurisdiction
over criminal acts that occurred outside the boundaries of the Pascua Yaqui Indian
Reservation. 3 PYTC § 1-1-10 (B).
The Pascua Yaqui Rules of Criminal Procedure provide that at any time after the
attaignment, either party may request that the trial court issue a particular order. 3 PYT
R.Crim.P. Rule 30(A). The rules specifically provide that a defendant may move to set aside
a complaint based on a lack of jurisdiction. 3 PYT R.Crim.P. Rule 30(C). If the court
determines that it lacks jurisdiction over the person or offense, the coutt is required to set
aside the complaint. 3 PYT R.Crim.P. Rule 30(C)(3); see also 3 PYT R.Civ.P. Rule 14(C).
“Jurisdiction” refers to “the power of the court to decide a matter in controversy and
presupposes the existence of a duly constituted court with control over the subject matter
and the parties.” BLACK’S LAW DICTIONARY 853 (6th ed. 1990); see also Pinner v. Pinner,
234 S.E.2d 633 (N.C. App. 1977); Wilson v. Ransom, 446 N.W.2d 6 (Neb. 1989); Svate ». Kwak,
909 P.2d 1112 (Haw. 1995); State v. Vaughan, 33 S.W.2d 512 (Ark. 2000). As Justice Johnson
of the United States Supreme Court observed nearly two-hundred years ago, “i]t is an
acknowledged principle . . . of every court in the world, that not only the decisions, but
everything done under judicial process of a court, not having jurisdiction, ate, tpso facto, void.”
Martin v. Hunter's Lessee, 14 U.S. (1 Wheat.) 304, 364, (1816); see also Marshall v. Clark, 365
A.2d 1202 (Conn. 1976); Springer v. Shavender, 23 S.E. 976 (N.C. 1896); Reed v. State, 187
S.W.2d 660 (Tex. 1944); Lowisville & N.R. Co. v. Tally, 83 So. 114 (Ala. 1919); Wenzel v.
Wenzel, 283 S.W.2d 882 (Mo.App. 1955); Stephens v. Hartly, 2 Mont. 504 (1876); Turner v.
Malone, 24 S.C. 398 (1898); Tustin v. Gaunt, 4 Ore. 305 (1873); Lefevre ». Mashantucket Pequot
Tribe, 1 Mash. 1, 1992.NAMP.0000001 <http://www.versuslaw.com> (1992); Thomas v.
Coquille Indian Tribe, 2004.NACQ.0000001 <http://www.versuslaw.com> (2004).
Challenges to the subject matter jurisdiction of a court receive a high level of
scrutiny. In fact, if the parties fail to raise a possible defect to subject matter jurisdiction, the
coutt is obligated to address any apparent issues regarding subject matter jurisdiction swa
sponte before allowing the case to proceed. Burgess v. Charlottesville Sav. ¢ Loan Ass’n. 477 F.2d
40, 43 (4" Cir. 1973); Zelson v. Thomforde, 412 F.2d 56. 57 (3 Cir. 1969); Fiedler v. Clark, 714
F.2d 77, 78-79 (9 Cir. 1983); Fitzgerald v. Seaboard S.R., Inc., 760 F.2d 1249, 1251 (10" Cir.
1992), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 943 (1989); Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. v. Ward Tracking Corp., 48 F.3d 742,
750 (3" Cir. 1995); State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Narvaez, 149 F.3d 1269, 1270-71 (10" Cir.
1998); Alumax Mill Prods., Inc. v. Congress Fin. Corp., 912 F.2d 996, 1002 (3" Cir. 1990); State ex
rel. Lawrence Dev. Co. v. Weir, 463 N.E.2d 398, 399 (Ohio App. 1983); Morrison v. Bestler, 387
S.E.2d 753, 755 (Va. 1990); City of Philadelphia v. White, 727 A.2d 627, 630 (Pa. 1999);
Weatherspoon v. Allstate Ins. Co., 89 P.3d 1277, 1279 (Ore. App. 2004); Trottier v. Bird, 635
N.W.2d 157, 159 (N.D. 2001); Timmons v. McCauley, 27 S.W.3d 437, 440 (Ark. App. 2000);
Sage v. Gamble, 929 P.2d 822, 824 (Mont. 1996); People v. Stenson, 694 N.E.2d 204, 205 (Ill.
App. 1998); International Longshoremen’s Assoc. v. Davis, 470 So.2d 1215, 1216 (Ala. 1985);
Alvarez v. State Taxation ¢» Revenue Dep’t, Motor Vehicle Div., 971 P.2d 1280, 1282 (N.M. App.
1998).
Jurisdictional attacks may be facial or factual. Safe Air v. Meyer, 373 F.3d 1035, 1039
(9 Cir. 2004), cert. denied, 544 U.S. 1018 (2005); United Tribe of Shawnee Indians v. United States,
253 F.3d 543, 547 (10" Cir. 2001); Lawrence v. Dunbar, 919 F.2d 1525, 1528-1529 (11° Cir.
1990); Ohio Nat’! Life Ins. Co. v. United States, 922 F.2d 320, 325 (6" Cir. 1990); Cedars-Sinai
Medical Ctr. v. Watkins, 11 F.3d 1573, 1583-1584 (Fed. Cir. 1993), cert. denied, 512 U.S. 1235
(1994). In a facial attack, the challenger asserts that the allegations in the complaint are
insufficient on their face to invoke the jurisdiction of the court. Safe_Air, 373 F.3d at 1039;
United Tribe of Shawnee Indians, 253 F.3d at 547; Lawrence, 919 F.2d at 1529; Ohio Nat? Life Ins.
Co., 922 F.2d at 325; Cedars-Sinai Medical Ctr., 11 F.3d at 1583. In contrast, in a factual attack
the challenger disputes the truth of the allegations that would otherwise invoke the
jurisdiction of the court. Safe Air, 373 F.3d at 1039; United Tribe of Shawnee Indians, 253 F.3d
at 547; Lawrence, 919 F.2d at 1529; Ohio Nat’ Life Ins. Co., 922 F.2d at 325; Cedars-Sinai
Medical Ctr., 11 F.3d at 1583-1584.
In resolving a factual attack on jurisdiction, the court is not required to presume the
truthfulness of the plaintiff's allegations. Safe Air, 373 F.3d at 1039; United Tribe of Shawnee
Indians, 253 F.3d at 546; Lawrence, 919 F.2d at 1529; Ohio Nat’! Life Ins. Co., 922 F.2d at 325;
Cedars-Sinai Medical Ctr., 11 F.3d at 1583-1584. To the contrary, the court has broad
discretion to allow evidence beyond the complaint including affidavits, other documents, and
a limited evidentiary hearing to resolve the disputed jurisdictional facts. Safe Air, 373 F.3d at
1039; United Tribe of Shawnee Indians, 253 F.3d at 547; Lawrence, 919 F.2d at 1529; Ohio Nat?
Life Ins. Co., 922 F.2d at 325; Cedars-Sinai, 11 F.3d at 1584.
In his Motion to Dismiss (Jurisdiction), the Petitioner requested an evidentiary
hearing and stated that the defense intended “to produce evidence establishing that Mr.
Madril was residing at 13244 South Santa Rosa Road, Arizona City, Arizona, which is located
outside the exterior boundaries of the Pascua Yaqui Indian Reservation.” [Appendix,
Exhibit 3 at 3]. The Petitioner’s motion made it clear that he was launching a factual attack
on the jurisdiction of the court. By scheduling the matter for an evidentiary hearing, it
appeared that the Respondent understood that the Petitioner wished present a factual
jurisdictional attack against the complaint. In anticipation of the hearing on the motion, the
Petitioner subpoenaed two witnesses for the purpose of eliciting evidence demonstrating that
the Respondent did not have jurisdiction over certain counts contained in the complaint.
[Appendix, Exhibit 7-8]. At the time of the hearing, however, the Respondent refused to
allow the Petitioner to present any evidence challenging the factual assertions regarding
jurisdiction contained in the criminal complaint. [Appendix, Exhibit 9]. In essence, the
Respondent refused to allow the Petitioner to challenge the jurisdiction of the Tribal Court.
The Respondent’s ruling is problematic for several reasons. First, it fails to comply
with the basic principles of law which govern jurisdictional challenges. Second, it has
deprived the Petitioner of his right to perfect a factual record in the lower coutt. Finally, the
Petitioner is being held in custody pending the posting of cash bond for offenses over which
the Respondent may have no jurisdiction.
_7-
RELIEF REQUESTED
The Petitioner respectfully moves this Court to enter an order directing the
Respondent to conduct an evidentiary hearing to allow the Petitioner to present evidence in
support of his Motion to Dismiss (Jurisdiction).

INITIAL HEARING ORDER
In compliance with Rules 307 and 309 of the Pascua Yaqui Rules of Criminal Procedure, defendant,
in custody on a separate case, appeared pursuant to a criminal summons, with his legal counsel, Nicholas
Fontana, on June 12, 2006 for Initial hearing. Present for the Tribe was G. Allen Osburn, on behalf of Micah
Schmit. The court should deny the defendant’s motion to strike the statements in the probable cause affidavit,
for lack of good cause shown.
The court finds that probable cause exists to believe defendant may have committed the offense(s)
of Counts 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55,

40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, and 60, Threatening or Intimidating, that the Tribe recommends
defendant be released on a $60,000.00 cash bond, that the defendant appear at all future hearings and obey all
laws. The defendant should be ordered not to contact any minors. The court should adopt the Tribe’s
recommendations. The court was about to set the matter for June 20, 2006. However, the defendant waived
time limits, because the defendant’s counsel would not be available for hearing on that day, and the court
should re-set the matter for arraignment at a later date.
IT IS ORDERED that the Defendant, Francisco Madril, shall be released on a $60,000.00 cash
bond, he must appear at all future hearings, obey all laws, and he shall not contact any minors. Time limits
for setting the arraignment shall be waived, at defendant’s request.
ARRAIGNMENT HEARING shall be scheduled for June 27, 2006, at 1:30 p.m..
THIS THE ONLY NOTICE OF HEARING YOU WILL RECEIVE.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defendant’s motion to strike statements made in the
officer’s probable cause affidavit shall be denied, for lack of good cause shown.
SO ORDERED THIS 12" DAY OF JUNE, 2006.
