REINHARDT, Circuit Judge:
I dissent. I would follow Boyd v. Robinson, 741 F.2d 1112, 114-15 (8th Cir.1984), and reverse. Although the majority presents a strong argument for its position, I would give the state court decree a far less mechanistic construction. The division of property rights that Boyd envisions seems eminently sensible to me. Perhaps that is an unfair standard. In any event it is difficult to see how reaching a conclusion opposite to that reached by my colleagues does violence to any “policy judgment made by the political branches of government”.
