The procedure for exclusion for any reason shall be as follows:

(a) The Governor of the Pueblo of San Ildefonso shall serve notice, either through officers of the Council or by registered mail, upon any person when the Governor has reason to believe that cause exists or may exist for the exclusion of person under reasons set forth in this Title. Such notice shall state the reason for the order and shall state a time, not less than five (5) days after the notice, unless an emergency exists, when the person must appear before the Pueblo Tribal Court to show cause why he should not be excluded from the Pueblo of San Ildefonso. If an emergency exists, the Governor may order immediate exclusion, with a hearing in not less than five (5) days of the notice and exclusion for the person to appear to show cause why he should not be excluded from the Pueblo of San Ildefonso.

(c) IF the person does not appear at the hearing at the time and place scheduled or, if found at the hearing that cause does exist to exclude that person from the Pueblo of San Ildefonso, the Pueblo Tribal Court shall issue an order excluding that person from all or any part of the jurisdiction of the Pueblo of San Ildefonso under such conditions specified in the order. The order shall be effective until revoked or modified by the Tribal Council.

(d) If the final judgment of the Pueblo Tribal Court is that the person shall be excluded from the Pueblo of San Ildefonso, then the Court shall deliver an order of removal to any Law Enforcement Officer, who shall thereupon order the person to obey the order.
