   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  19-2898
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Council Bluffs   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Erickson, 
   Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Indian law. The district court concluded that the National 
   Indian Gaming Commission correctly determined that the Ponca Restoration 
   Act, 104 Stat. 1167 (1990) does not preclude gambling on a parcel of land 
   in Iowa that is held in trust by the United States for the Tribe because 
   the land is eligible as part of the restoration of lands for an Indian 
   tribe that is restored to federal recognition; however, the court also 
   concluded that the Commission failed to consider a relevant factor in 
   evaluating whether the parcel is restored land for the Tribe and remanded 
   the matter to the Commission for further consideration. The district 
   court's decision is affirmed.
