HEANEY, Circuit Judge.
This is the second time this case has come before this court. The first time, the United States through its relator (collectively the United States or government) disputed the legality of contracts involving a casino project between the Sisseton- Wahpeton Sioux Tribe (the Tribe) and Casino Magic Corporation (Casino Magic). We declared the contracts illegal and remanded for a determination of damages. On summary judgment, the district- court awarded the United States $350,000. Both parties now appeal this amount. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
