ORDER AND JUDGMENT**
TACHA, Circuit Judge.

1
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.

2
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. § 1291 and AFFIRM for substantially the reasons given by the district court.
