r.,Q:gERT L. HOECKER. 

Clerk 

No. 91-2105 

(D.C. No. 90-1059 M) 

(D. N.M.) 

Before ANDERSON and TACHA, Circuit Judges, and COOK, District 

Court Judge.** 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3. 

** The Honorable H. Dale Cook, Senior District Judge for the 

United States District Court for the Northern District of 

Oklahoma, sitting by designation. 

Appellate Case: 91-2105 Document: 010110239075 Date Filed: 03/26/1992 Page: 1 
Appellants appeal an order of the district court dismissing 

their suit for non-joinder of a necessary and indispensable party. 

On appeal, appellants contend that the district court erred in 

dismissing their suit for failure to join an indispensable party, 

the Pueblo of Isleta. We exercise jurisdiction under 28 u.s.c. 

S 1291 and AFFIRM for substantially the reasons given by the 

district court.
