The United States District Court for the Eastern District of California granted the State of California's request to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians, and the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation for breach of their respective compacts with the State.

The dismissal had nothing to do with the merits of the tribes' position, and in particular, whether California card rooms are offering illegal house-banked games in violation of tribal gaming rights.
