July 7, 2021: Pauma Band of Mission Indians v Governor Gavin Newsom and the State of CA - Bad Faith Negotiations
Like the twelve other Indian tribes who filed suit in this District over the last two years, Pauma is still a party to one of the original form class III gaming compacts in the State of California (“1999 Compact”), and has been involved in renegotiations of that agreement since November 2014. Following Governor Newsom’s inauguration at the outset of 2019, Pauma essentially had to restart its negotiations from scratch, and was eager to see if a new administration would bring with it a new mentality towards dealing with Indian tribes.

Oct. 26, 2015: Pauma Band v State of California - Final Ruling
The state of California owes $36.2 million to the Pauma Band of Luiseño Indians for misleading the tribe, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Monday. A 1999 compact authorized the tribe to offer up to 2,000 Class III devices at the Casino Pauma. But the state refused to allow the tribe to reach that limit so a new agreement was reached in 2004 that included a higher revenue sharing rate in exchange for more machines.
