The long running legal dispute over a tribal casino in Kansas City, Kansas, will continue.
The Justice Department says it will appeal a court decision that
appeared to clear the way for the casino.
U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson ruled last month that federal officials were wrong in 2004 when they said that the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma wasn't allowed to open a casino in downtown Kansas City, Kansas.
Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline's office raided the tiny casino shortly afterward, seizing 150 gambling machines and more than a half million dollars in cash.
The National Indian Gaming Commission says federal law prohibits tribal casinos on land purchased after 1988. The Wyandotte tribe bought the half acre in Kansas City in 1996.
But Robinson says the tribe qualifies for a loophole in the law, because the money used to buy the land came from a settlement of land issues dating back to the 1800s.
