Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No.

v.
JOSHUA JAMES COOLEY, ORDER
Defendant-Appellee.
On Remand from the United States Supreme Court
Before: BERZON, THACKER,* and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
The Supreme Court reversed our judgment in this case and remanded to this
Court for further proceedings. United States v. Cooley, 141 S. Ct. 1638 (2021). The
District Court did not decide the following question: If—as the Supreme Court
held—the tribal officer otherwise possessed the relevant authority, “whether the
officer had probable cause for a search or arrest, or reasonable suspicion for an
investigatory detention.” United States v. Cooley, 919 F.3d 1135, 1145 (9th Cir.
2019). Accordingly, the case is hereby REMANDED to the District Court to
address that question. See id. (“We rely on Fourth Amendment jurisprudence to

analyze the validity of a search or seizure under [the Indian Civil Rights Act].”)
(citing United States v. Becerra-Garcia, 397 F.3d 1167, 1171 (9th Cir. 2005)).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
