For example: B Appeal of a Final Employment Decision D Appeal of an Enrollment Decision Appeal of a Gaming License Denial D Petition for Divorce D Petition for a Name Change When filing a Petition with the Tribal Court it is important to under stand the general requirements of filing such a Petition. This article is meant to provide only general guidelines. You can find more specific requirements in the Tribal Ordinances or in the instruction handbooks the court has written for certain cases. D Who May File a Petition? Generally a person over the age of eighteen must file his or her own Petition. A parent or guardian may file on behalf of a child. In addition, Petitions must be filed by the person who is making the claim. For ex ample, if an employee does not agree with a final employment decision, the employee must file the Petition. Likewise, if an adult's enrollment application is denied, that person who was denied enrollment must file the Petition, not his or her relative. If a child is denied enrollment, the parent, legal guardian, or full-time caretaker may file the Petition for the child. '- ' '"" D Signing the Petition Petitions must be signed by the person filing the Petition, and must be notarized by a Notary Public. The Tribal Court Clerk is a Notary Public and will notarize Petitions at no charge. B Filing a Petition and Filing It On Time All Petitions must be filed with the Tribal Court at the Tribal Court offices. Failure to file by the filing deadline results in dismissal of the Petition. The Court has no authority to hear a case that is not filed by the deadline. If you are unsure of the filing deadline please refer to the Ordinance under which the Petition is being filed. For example, the Employment Action Review Ordinance sets forth the filing deadlines for filing a Petition to Review a Final Employment Deci sion. There are no exceptions to this deadline. A Petition must be filed with the Tribal Court by the filing deadline. Petitioners may however submit a brief Petition with a note requesting extra time to add to, or complete, the Petition. B Serving the Petition Whoever is supposed to answer to your claims has a right to "notice" that you are making the claim. So that person must receive a copy of your Petition. This is called "service." The Ordinance under which the claim is being filed, sets forth who shall be served with a copy of the Petition. These are called "parties." You are also a party. Copies of the Petition must be given, or "served," on all parties. For example, if you are' filing a Petition for Review of a Final Employment Decision, the Employment Action Review Ordinance lists all parties to be served. Petitions must be served by someone over the age of eighteen who is not a party to the case. This means that the person filing the Petition may not also be the person who serves the Petition on the parties. The Petitioner must provide the Court with a Certificate of Service, also called Proof of Service. This document proves that the parties were all served. The Certificate of Service must be signed by the person serv ing the parties, and must show the date that the Petitions were served. B Now what? Once you have filed your Petition, and once the person who must an swer your claim has been notified of your claim, the case is ready to move forward in Court. The Ordinance describes what happens next. Usu ally, the person who must answer your claim files with the Court a docu ment called an "Answer." You will receive a copy of it. From then on, the Judge will set a hearing and tell you what comes next. B Still have questions? The Tribal Court is here to serve the members of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and other people who do business with the Tribe, or have other contacts with the Tribe. It is important that you feel like the Court is a comfortable, understandable place to be. Feel free to call and ask questions, and the Tribal Court Administrator and Clerk will answer those questions as best they can. Friday, Dec. 15 at 11:30 a.m. I
