DECISION
The Court will address the Motion for Dismissal as filed on January 21, 2005 by the defendant Legislature and Election Board. The Court will first note that the Motion was filed on the 21st of January 2005, but that plaintiffs counsel states he has not received a copy thereof. The parties agreed that the Motion as filed will be provided to the plaintiff on today’s date and that plaintiff will have the opportunity to respond in writing prior to the Court issuing a decision in this matter. The Court has reviewed the written response as submitted by the plaintiff on February 16th, 2005. The defendants contend that the Court lacks jurisdiction in this matter, and that this matter should, therefore, be dismissed. The Constitution of the Ho Chunk Nation Art. XII, Sec. 2, provides that this Court has jurisdiction in cases in which, “officials and employees of the Ho-Chunk Nation ... act beyond the scope of their duties or authority.” Art. IX, Sec. 1 provides that, “no vote by the General Council to remove a member of the Legislature shall take place before such Legislator has been given reasonable notice of the impending action and has had a reasonable opportunity to be heard.” The Court determined in its November 18, 2004 Order (Granting Preliminary Injunction ) that there was a reasonable likelihood that the notice and opportunity for the plaintiff to be heard were both constitutionally deficient. It may have been necessary to name both the Legislature and the Election Board in the original complaint to *215obtain the relief provided by an injunction. But both named defendants should be dismissed from this action at this time.
The issue of redressability has been raised by counsel and it does have merit. Once the injunction was granted, what involvement and/or future remedy are available from either named defendant? In the response to the defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, the plaintiffs counsel does not provide any basis, answer or reason to not dismiss these defendant’s from this action regarding the issue of redressability. As stated in HCN Legislature v. HCN General Council, CV 01-11, 2001 WL 36153849, 3 Am. Tribal Law 393 (Tr. Ct., June 22, 2001), the Court held that the defendants retained “no duty that the Court could affect by a ruling, and therefore the Court had no ability to order any relief to the plaintiff through those parties.” In the case at hand, the named defendants do not have an ongoing duty that this Court can affect by a ruling. The injunction was granted and has provided the remedy regarding these defendants. There are no further remedies that or which can be provided through these defendants. The Court finds that it does not have jurisdiction in this matter under the Constitution of the Ho-Chunk Nation and therefore, the Legislature and Election Board defendants’ Motion to Dismiss is granted.
RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES
The parties retain the right to file a timely post judgment motion with this Court in accordance with HCN R. Civ, P. 58, Amendment to or Relief from Judgment or Order. Otherwise, “[a]ny final Judgment or Order of the Trial Court may be appealed to the Ho-Chunk Nation Supreme Court. The Appeal must comply with the Ho-Chunk Nation Rules of Appellate Procedure [hereinafter HCN R.App. P.], specifically [HCN R.App. P.J, Rule 7, Right of Appeal.” HCN R. Civ. P. 61. The appellant “shall within sixty (60) calendar days after the day such judgment or order was rendered, file with the [Supreme Court] Clerk of Court, a Notice of Appeal from sueh judgment or order, together with a filing fee of thirty-five dollars ($35 U.S.).” HCN R.App. P. 7(b)(1). “All subsequent actions of a final Judgment or Trial Court Order must follow the [HCN R.App. P.].” HCN R.
