SAN DIEGO -- A federal judge in Washington, D.C., issued a temporary order
yesterday preventing the Navy from transferring ownership of land at the
old Naval Training Center to the city of San Diego until a hearing is held
later this month.

The order was granted in connection with a lawsuit filed Dec. 17 by the
Campo Band of Mission Indians and the Kumeyaay Tribal Coalition. The
Indians contend that the 500-plus acres at the training center are part of
their ancestral homeland and that title should be transferred to them.

A hearing on the lawsuit is scheduled for May 23, and the judge suspended
transfer of the property from the Navy to the city in the interim. The City
Council had been scheduled to accept the transfer of 279 acres of Naval
Training Center land at a May 15 hearing. That hearing has now been postponed.
