Upon filing the complaint, the plaintiff may, upon motion, be granted immediate possession of the premises by a writ of possession issued by the Tribal Court. Written notice of the hearing on the motion shall be served on the defendant by the plaintiff in accordance with Tribal Court procedure, and shall inform the defendant that the defendant may file affidavits on the defendant’s behalf with the Tribal Court and may appear and present testimony on the defendant’s behalf, and that, if the defendant fails to appear, the plaintiff may apply to the Tribal Court for a writ of possession. Such notice shall also explain that a writ of possession means the defendant must leave the premises by a certain time period or law enforcement will be authorized to forcibly remove the defendant. After a hearing on the motion, from the verified complaint and from any affidavits filed or oral testimony given by or on behalf of the parties, Tribal Court may issue a writ for possession directed to appropriate law enforcement upon determining that the defendant has violated this chapter and resides off of the Reservation, has departed from the Reservation, cannot after due diligence be found on the Reservation, or has concealed oneself to avoid the service of summons. [Ord. 31 § 4206, adopted, 7/12/2013.]
