      ELOUISE PEPION COBELL, et al.,

           Plaint iffs-Appellees,

                     v.                        No. 05-5388

                        APPELLANTS' MOTION TO FILE TWO
                     SUPPLEMENTAL JOINT APPENDIX VOLUMES


           The government hereby requests leave to file the appended

      supplemental Joint Appendix volumes   (Volumes XXII and XXIII).

      The Joint Appendix filed in this matter on February 24,   2006,

      inadvertently included a number of public items in volumes

      designated as under seal.   The supplement that we are submitting

      with this motion reproduces those materials in volumes properly

      marked as public.  For ease of reference, we have not changed the

      pagination of the documents in question.

           We apologize for the error and for any inconvenience to the

      Court.


                                Respectfully submitted,

                                PETER D. KEISLER
