The determination by Mr. Jordan, assumes that the land is held in a restrictive status. A gaming company, First Astri Corp. acquired the land. The land is simple fee status. There are no restrictions on this land. The court case that is sighted did not make the United States, or the Bureau of Indian Affairs a party to a land settlement. The Tribe nor the County or the Federal Court, have legal jurisdiction to set a precedent of taking land as "Indian Country". This is the authority that has been given to Congress. This determination has every appearance of a "political decision" that flies in the face of the rule of law established in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and abusing the authority of the Secretary of the Interior. Is this an effort to assist former National Indian Gaming Commissioner Harold Monteau who now represents the Chukchansi of the Picayune? Section 4 [2703] 4 (B)
