DECISION OF THE COURT

The Court having heard the arguments of counsel in open court, having reviewed the files and records herein and being otherwise fully advised, Now Therefore;

The Court fmds that the Defendants' alleged criminal activity herein is separate and distinct from the fishing activity which occurred prior thereto by the Schwartzes which fell under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Sault Ste Marie Tribal Court. The fact that the fish involved in the illegal sale by the Jensens' may have been caught illegally, is collateral at best in the wrongful activity they are charged with being engaged in, in the Complaint.

The Court therefore denies Defendants' Motion to Dismiss and further declines to suspend the prosecution or delay the trial herein pending a decision in Federal Court.
