Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit September 23, 1997, 96-35145 (Mary Jane WILSON, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Thomas David MARCHINGTON; Inland Empire Shows, Inc., Defendants-Appellants)

THOMAS, Circuit Judge.

This appeal presents the question of whether, and under what circumstances, a tribal court tort judgment is entitled to recognition in the United States Courts. We conclude that the principles of comity, not fell faith and credit, govern whether a district court should recognize and enforce a tribal court judgment.
