Does anyone know what ever happened with this?

Anyway, that year, I saw some Suquamish crabbers at the ramp with a major haul off crab. I asked them where, because my pots were not productive. They said, " We fished all this out (Area 9), there are none left here. We go up past Everett."
(Recall tribes start crabbing in April or May).

The US District Court for the Western District of Washington granted a summary judgement in favor of the Upper Skagit Tribe. In 2017, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's decision.

At least that is what this appears to say to a non-attorney:

9th Circuit Upper Skagit v. Suquamish
