governmental entity can enjoy eleventh amendment immunity after it has already been judicially established under the same facts and under the same functions in state court proceedings that entity is independent of the state of california and acting in a proprietary function and this particular instance the entity that we're dealing with is the results of the university of california which  majority of the decisions of the ninth circuit have held is an arm of the state of california and enjoys eleventh amendment immunity brown by your own decisions right i am aware of that yes now under the prevailing authority side and on the briefs it says that each claim of eleventh amendment immunity must be examined independently in the context of the claim brought by the plaintiffs and in this particularly instance we have i think are rather clear decision from the california court of appeal held by the california supreme court in this case when they denied cert that means state of the regents with regard to the administrative and ministration of its retirement benefits is independent of the state of california in other words it's acting in a proprietary manner and that the state of california laws do not apply to the regions under this particular function california the state of california has a retirement program and a person qualifies for retirement based on every year of appointment with the state of california but in this instance  the region said you don't work for the state of california when you work with regence so you don't get to qualify for retirement benefits for your time  since the court must consider each claim of sovereign immunity in the context of the particular claim brought by the plaintiff in other words the authority cited by the court and the authorities are reviewed i believe unless i'm and i can explain quite clearly why it is proprietary and it's already been established through judicial through the decisions from the california court of appeal that with this function under the facts of this case regents is entirely independent of the state of california one example already cited here is as i said before the fifteen years of employment with the state of california for  me give me give me an example of one of those not every single employee in the position whether it's with the sat is a state university the california highway patrol caltrans what have you is california employment position that falls under the public retirement age your question is not important as highway maintenance or no education falls under the public retirement system it does under person and that's the whole point education falls and in fact for the years of service dr feelgood performed for san jose state university education he did get retirement benefits he does have retirement benefits because he works for the state of california or an arm of the state of california it's only for those years with the regions of the university of california that they denied him benefits and they didn't i didn't benefit saying basically you don't work for the state of california you work for us we're not the state of california and we don't have to pay you retirement benefits for the years of service with the regions and you knew this as far back as one nine hundred ninety six your client that's when the denial took place or yes and what's the statute of limitation on th statute of limitations government code section two zero one six four says if it's the state of california there is no retire there's no statute of limitations now here's the interesting thing about this here we have eleventh amendment being extended to the regions the university of california that could only be done if the regents is an arm of the state of california the government code section two a one six four applies to the  retirement program for the state of california but it's even more precise than that there's a government code section two zero three five three that says in addition if there's a receipt process agreement between the two entities between regions and purse or between regions and state of california it statutorily extends the california government code sections to that entity in other words two re we have it statutorily as well interpretation it's as applies only to claims against person based on errors or omissions the california court of appeal did something quite interesting they basically came down with a decision that if the error mission where intentional and not lawsuit process is about it all they said here this was the result of a measure deliberate decision making process if you can refusal to pay interest or capitalization cannot be characterized as either an error or an omission so we have a definitive statement  california court of appeal that the section that you rely on doesn't apply and our claim of course challenges that interpretation by the california court of appeal on constitutional grounds because for example in th withheld benefits for a period of twelve years that was clearly the result of a measured and deliberate process they went through an administrative review and they made a decision exactly the call a court of appeal stated measured deliberated but they found it was a mistake twelve years later if you're right the clock starts to run against you in one thousand nine hundred six in the one year limitation period expires three or limitation experience period expires before you claim an entitlement to a two year limitation period so the new two limitation period that came online in two thousand and three doesn't apply either i mean it seems your time barred no i didn't i guess i didn't i didn't follow the court on that though the government code section two one six four says there's no period of limitation no  of government code section two zero one six four isn't unconstitutional or target taishan a statue of limitation is not unconstitutional because it deprives you of your ability to pursue property well in this particular instance talk of fear presented to claim that under the fifth amendment to the united states constitution they the government can take the property without just compensation and there's a statute in fact that says there's no statute of limitations but in this particular instance a governmental action as a whole is depriving him of his fifth amendment rights depriving him of his property and apply a starter limitations that really doesn't exist we've gone way over time and yes you have like more questions court eric barons on behalf of respondent the regents the university of california this case really is about the running of the statue imitations it's about a decision that was made almost thirty years ago to deny benefits to mr freeh it and no matter how he tries to bootstrap various subsequent actions into this the time is long run the district court granted the regents motion to dismiss on the basis that under section one hundred three even if you take the case back to one thousand nine hundred six more than two years had run the district court also granted the regents motion to dismiss on the grounds that the eleventh amendment when you when you do something like that just ferguson's right it's almost unheard of that we would grant a continuance and of those circumstances especially when we don't know what the other side has to say about it right that's i apologize i agree with that it's just  preparing for like i mean it did seem like it will remember in a cause i still running all over the place last night to try to to try to tell you no because it was too late we had no idea what the other side wanted to do i appreciate that ok thank
