Navajo Nation SCT Decides Case Involving Challenge to Contempt Order for Violating PPO

Here:

Victor Bowman v. Delores Greyeyes.  Opinion.  Bowman files a petition asking the Court to reconsider its Dec. 14, 2011 summary denial of his application for a writ of habeas corpus.  Reconsideration petitions for special actions may not be filed without leave of the Court. The Court treats the petition as a motion for leave but states that, in future, petitions for leave must first be filed pursuant to N.R.C.A.P. Rule 19(d), and must contain sufficient detail for the Court to rule on the request.  In this case, the Court denies the motion as Bowman offers no new argument. (January 24, 2012).
