Rosas v. AMG Services, Inc. CA1/3
This is an appeal from an order by the trial court granting a motion to quash service of summons for lack of jurisdiction and to dismiss by specially appearing defendant and respondent AMG Services, Inc. (hereinafter, AMG). Plaintiff Kathrine Rosas brought this lawsuit, as both private attorney general and on behalf of herself and all other similarly situated persons, against numerous defendants, including individuals Scott Tucker and Blaine Tucker and several corporate and tribal entities associated with them, based upon their purported involvement in an illegal internet payday loan operation. Relevant to this appeal, the trial court found AMG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of former defendant Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, a federally recognized Indian tribe, immune from suit pursuant to the doctrine of tribal sovereign immunity. On this basis, the trial court then granted AMG’s motion to quash and dismissed the action as to it.
