United States Supreme Court

In an action by an Indian tribe against the U.S. resulting from the Secretary of the Interior's failure to promptly approve a coal royalty rate, summary judgment for Defendant is affirmed, where Plaintiff's claim for compensation fails because none of the sources of law cited by the Court of Appeals and relied upon by Plaintiff provides any more sound a basis for its lawsuit than those previously discussed by the Court.
