article_snippet.sent: The issue in court will be whether Browne lied on the federal purchasing form, Browne said.
article_snippet.sent: Michael Lee, a lawyer with Browne's firm who attended the arraignment, said 'there is a distinction between what comes from a state court and a tribal court' in terms of restrictions placed on the subject of the order.
article_snippet.sent: Lee said they would secure the order through discovery to make that point.
article_snippet.sent: Had the order been filed in a state court instead of the tribal court, the order would have been entered into a criminal records database and would have surfaced during a background check.
article_snippet.sent: But the order was never entered into any state or federal criminal databases because of a flawed reporting system between tribes and outside authorities.
article_snippet.sent: Tribes have long called on the federal government to fix this problem or provide access to the databases so Tribes can enter the orders Tribes.
article_snippet.sent: After The Associated Press reported on the problem last week, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that the U.S. Department of Justice would host a conference in August with Tribes to try to resolve the problem.
