CASE SYNOPSIS
Petitioner secretary challenged the
judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
which affirmed an order of a lower court which granted respondent
heirs of decedent Indian declaratory and injunctive relief in their
suit, alleging that amended § 207 of the Indian Land Consolidation
Act, 25 U.S.C.S. § 2206, violated the Just Compensation
Clause of the Fifth Amendment.DISCUSSION
- The court affirmed the judgment of the lower court because it determined that § 207 was invalid; it effected a taking of property without just compensation in violation of the Fifth Amendment.
- The court previously had invalidated the statute prior to its amendment.
- The court determined that the narrow revisions that Congress made to the statute did not warrant a different disposition.
The court affirmed the judgment of the lower court.
