   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1747
   U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota - Western   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Benton and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Indian law. In action against a pipeline operator seeking 
   damages for trespass to lands held in trust by the U.S. and seeking an 
   injunction to require the operator to dismantle the pipeline, the district 
   court dismissed the matter, concluding that the plaintiff allottees had 
   failed to exhaust administrative remedies with the Bureau of Indian 
   Affairs. Held: the case turns on issues sufficiently within the primary 
   jurisdiction of the BIA to warrant a stay of proceedings, rather than 
   dismissal, to give the BIA opportunity to take further action; reversed 
   and remanded with directions.
