A federal judge on Wednesday refused to block new gaming compacts signed by five tribes and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R).
The Rincon Band of Luiseno Mission Indians sought a temporary restraining order against the state. The tribe said the new agreements would lead to "mega-casinos' and would hurt its business.
U.S. District Judge Thomas J. Whelan denied the request, saying Schwarzenegger had the authority to negotiate compacts without taking into account the effect on other tribes.
