Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit August 21, 1981, 80-3155 (Maude E. McDonald v. James G. Watt, Etc.)

REAVLEY, Circuit Judge:

Plaintiffs here challenge a decision of the Department of Interior on the entitlement to a mineral lease of government land. While government officials are named as party defendants, this suit is essentially a contest between private parties — plaintiffs and intervenor — for the lease.
