Abstract
In In re General Adjudication of All Rights to Use Water in the Gila River System and Source, the Arizona Supreme Court considered whether the Globe Equity Decree of 1935 ("Decree") precluded the San Carlos Apache Tribe ("Tribe") and the United States on behalf of the Tribe from asserting claims to the waters of the Gila River mainstem and its tributaries. On February 9, 2006, the court entered an order, written by Justice Hurwitz, unanimously holding that the Decree prevented the Tribe from asserting claims to water from the mainstem of the Gila River beyond those rights granted in the Decree. The court held, however, that claims to the waters of the tributaries of the Gila River are not precluded. Following the Tribe's appeal, the court entered an order on May 3, 2006 denying the Tribe's motion for reconsideration.
