Seneca Businessman Loses Oregon Appeal
The Oregon Court of Appeals says that state has jurisdiction over part of a business owned by a member of the Seneca Nation.
The court upheld a state ruling over sales in a case involving Scott Maybee’s Internet cigarette sales business.
Maybee had argued the state didn’t have authority to enforce Oregon cigarette regulations on his business because it's located on a reservation in New York state.
But the Court of Appeals said his sales crossed state boundaries, giving Oregon jurisdiction.
