102705P.pdf   05/02/2011  United States  v.  Wesley Jacobs
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-2705
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Rapid City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Bye, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. Argument that the government's failure to comply with the provisions of the Fort Laramie Treaty deprived the district court of criminal jurisdiction rejected; even if Articles I and V of the treaty could reasonably be construed as establishing a jurisdictional requirement at the time the Treaty was executed, Congress's subsequent grant of citizenship to the Indians makes them subject to all restrictions to which any citizen is subject and is evidence of a clear indication to abrogate any contrary treaty provisions.
