ALASKA v. U.S.

No. 98-35310.

213 F.3d 1092 (2000)

State of ALASKA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. UNITED STATES of America, Defendant-Appellant, and Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, Intervenor-Appellant.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Filed May 23, 2000.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jared A. Goldstein, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., for the defendant-appellant.

Joanne Grace, Assistant Attorney General, Anchorage, Alaska, for the plaintiff-appellee.

David C. Crosby, Wickwire, Greene, Crosby, Brewer & Seward, Juneau, Alaska, for the intervenor-appellant.

Before: CANBY, and GRABER, Circuit Judges, and GEORGE, District Judge.

CANBY, Circuit Judge:

This appeal raises the question whether title to the bed of the Kukpowruk River in northern Alaska passed from the federal government to the State of Alaska when Alaska became a State in 1959. We conclude that it did not. A secondary question is whether the federal government's change in the status of the retained land after statehood caused title to the riverbed to pass to the State. Again, we conclude that it did not.
