So far it has been hard to find anything online. Pala supposedly issued a press release but I have not been able to find it yet.
Law360 is listing the case: Pala Band of Mission Indians v. Purdue Pharma L.P. et al
I did manage to find one news article:
abc10 News San Diego - Pala Band of Mission Indians files lawsuit against opioid manufacturers, distributors
You can read the full article at the link above.
Here is an excerpt:

Reality has completely gone Orwellian.
