Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 829 F.2d 1119 (4th Cir. 1987) Submitted Aug. 31, 1987. Sept. 18, 1987

Cherokee Indians of Hoke Co. Tribe, pro se.

Robert Eugene Cansler, Office of the Attorney General, for appellees.

Before DONALD RUSSELL and SPROUSE, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


A review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the magistrate recommendation discloses that this appeal from that court's order denying relief is without merit. The appellants' motion for appointment of counsel is denied, as is the appellees' motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument and affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district court. Cherokee Indians of Hoke County Tribe v. State of North Carolina, C/A No. 86-786-R (M.D.N.C. April 1, 1987).

AFFIRMED.
