1Opinion of the Court
BRIGHT, Circuit Judge.
C. Hobart Keith appeals pro se from the district court’s 1 judgment dismissing his action for alleged violations of a statute prohibiting non-Indians from trading with Indians on a reservation without a federal trading license. Keith sues as a qui tam litigant, 2 acting under the authority of 25 U.S.C. § 201 (1976). 3 He seeks to recover statutory penalties against 128 defendants in the Rapid City, South Dakota, area for trading on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation without having obtained a license from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. We affirm.
