U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 2409. Partition actions involving United States
Any civil action by any tenant in common or joint tenant owning
an undivided interest in lands, where the United States is one of
such tenants in common or joint tenants, against the United States
alone or against the United States and any other of such owners,
shall proceed, and be determined, in the same manner as would a
similar action between private persons.
Whenever in such action the court orders a sale of the property
or any part thereof the Attorney General may bid for the same in
behalf of the United States. If the United States is the purchaser,
the amount of the purchase money shall be paid from the Treasury
upon a warrant drawn by the Secretary of the Treasury on the
requisition of the Attorney General.
