An excerpt:

As to the two remaining defendants, reading Plaintiff’s complaint liberally, he alleges that while he was an employee of the Gold Country Casino in 2003, he took the defendant Mayhews’ grandchildren into his home. He later petitioned the Tribe for tribal membership for these children, and was told he would be reimbursed for his expenses regarding the children but was warned “not to go to the white man’s court.” However, despite this warning, Plaintiff filed guardianship proceedings in the California state court in September 2003. As a result, he contends defendants Mattie and Ricky Mayhew conspired together to file false allegations against him, with the intent to have his employment with the Casino terminated in retaliation for availing himself of the state court system and because he is white. He was subsequently terminated from his employment, allegedly due to these false allegations.
