The San Diego Roman Catholic Bishop is named in the most recent lawsuit, which has been dismissed. Since the tribe is a sovereign nation and cannot be sued in civil cases, it does not name the tribe. The bishop gave the tribe permission to use a nearby historic cemetery in 2017, and the lawsuit claimed that ongoing construction work for the casino is disturbing the cemetery.
