The Supreme Court refused Monday to consider whether the state of New York owed the Cayuga Nation Indian tribe about $250 million in a dispute over the seizure of tribal land. Also on Monday, the Court refused to block a gay woman from seeking parental rights to a child she had helped raise with her partner. Justices could have used that case to clarify gays' rights in child custody disputes stemming from nontraditional families.

The Supreme Court refused Monday to consider whether the state of New York owed an Indian tribe about $250 million in a dispute over the seizure of tribal land.
Justices had been asked to consider a decision by the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that dismissed the Cayuga Nation’s 26-year-old land claim for several reasons, including the passage of time and the tribe’s long delay in seeking relief.
