1Opinion of the Court
FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judge:
Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe of Indians (Pyramid) appeals the district court’s order affirming the decision of the Nevada State Engineer which granted the transfer of water rights from the parcels of property to which they were then appurtenant to new parcels. All of the water rights, are within the boundaries of the Newlands Reclamation Project. 1 Pyramid asserts that the rights could not be transferred because they had already been abandoned or forfeited within the meaning of the law of the State of Nevada. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand in part.
