The order arose from Cobell v. Salazar (was C. v. Kempthorne, was C. v. 
Norton, was C. v. Babbitt). On October 20th, 2005, Judge Royce C. 
Lamberth ordered the Interior Department to disconnect from the Internet 
all computer systems that house or provide access to Individual Indian 
Trust records. "Indian Trust records continue to be in imminent risk of 
being manipulated and destroyed by computer hackers."

Former Interior Deputy Secretary Steven Griles was sentenced to 10 
months in prison for obstructing a U.S. Senate investigation of Jack A. 
Abramoff. He was also ordered to pay a fine of $30,000, and serve a term 
of three years of supervised release.
