United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 98-3170 ___________ United States of America, * * Plaintiff-Appellee, * * v. * * Appeal from the United States William H.

Defendant, * * [UNPUBLISHED] Yankton Sioux Tribe, Marty, South * Dakota, * * Garnishee-Appellant. * ___________ Submitted: May 11, 1999 Filed: May 20, 1999 ___________ Before McMILLIAN, HEANEY, and FAGG, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. Yankton Sioux Tribe appeals the district court's denial of the Tribe's motion to dismiss the Government's postjudgment garnishment of a tribal employee under the Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act on the basis of the Tribe's sovereign immunity. Having reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we are satisfied the district court's ruling that the Act waives the Tribe's sovereign immunity was correct. We also conclude that an extended discussion is not warranted. We thus affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. A true copy.
