The 9th Circuit Court of
Appeals won't rehear a landmark gaming compact negotiation case in which California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) was found to have negotiated in bad faith.
In April, the court said Schwarzenegger made unfair demands of the Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians. He sought a greater share of gaming revenues without offering a meaningful concession, the decision stated.
Schwarzenegger sought a rehearing of the case, which was denied on Monday. He still could appeal to the the U.S. Supreme Court.
The state has lost similar rulings in at least three other tribal cases.
