   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-2255
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bye, Circuit Judge, and Miller,
   District Judge]
   Civil case - Indian law. Parcels of land in the North Point, White Swan
   and Spillway recreation areas were outside of the external boundaries of
   the Yankton Sioux Reservation before they were acquired by the Corps of
   Engineers and the Corps' transfer of the lands to the State of South
   Dakota did not violate the provisions of the Water Resources
   Development Act of 1999; allotments held in trust were properly
   transferred as the United States held the land in fee simple when the Act
   was passed and when the Corps transferred them to the State; district
   court did not err in denying the Tribe's motion to disqualify the
   Department of Justice from representing the Corps.
