Herman Grey, Pauline Gray, Raymond Juan, Georgene Morganseota, and Mary Joseph Manuel, Plaintiffs-appellants v. the United States, Defendant-appellee.carlton G. Abel and 1,218 Other Named Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs-appellants v. the United States, Defendant-appellee, 935 F.2d 281 (Fed. Cir. 1991)

Native American allottees of land located on the Salt River Reservation (collectively referred to herein as "appellants") bring this consolidated appeal challenging a Claims Court judgment that it lacked Tucker Act jurisdiction in Grey v. United States, 21 Cl.Ct. 285 (1990), and a judgment dismissing a subsequent complaint ("Abel ") on the basis that its decision in Grey governed that action.

Appellants bore the burden of establishing Tucker Act jurisdiction in the Claims Court by demonstrating a substantive right enforceable against the United States for money damages. The Claims Court meticulously considered every fact and issue raised here by appellants, and rendered a thorough and comprehensive opinion in deciding the case. We affirm on the basis of that opinion.
