ORDER AND JUDGMENT**
TACHA, Circuit Judge.

On appeal, appellants contend that the district court erred in dismissing their suit for failure to join an indispensable party, the Pueblo of Isleta. We exercise jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and AFFIRM for substantially the reasons given by the district court.
