INTERIOR BOARD OF LAND APPEALS, BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, AND UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, Defendants-Appellees.
No. 09-35708.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Argued and Submitted September 1, 2010—Seattle, Washington.
Filed October 12, 2010.
OPINION
HAWKINS, Senior Circuit Judge.

We agree with the district court's reasoning and affirm.
