Originally licensed to practice law in California in 1969, according to current information from the California State Bar which is updated hourly on its website, Pelcyger is currently “not eligible to practice law,” his license having been declared “admin inactive” in July of 1993 because of non-compliance in meeting continuing legal education requirements (CLE).
Meanwhile, Pelcyger is continuing to represent the Pyramid Lake Tribe, as he filed a document in U.S. District Court on July 19, 2005, according to Schroeder’s letter to Jones.
Pelcyger also represented the Pyramid Lake Tribe during 2002 in U.S. District Court in the recoupment litigation brought by the U.S. against TCID and water rights holders alleging “over diversions of Truckee River water.” That case is currently active on appeal before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
