Heading: Dismissal of Events, Cowboys, and University System, and Entry of Judgment

Text: 30 On March 28, 2002, Disabled Rights filed a Second Amended Complaint replacing the UNLV Center with University System, leaving Events and Cowboys as defendants, and raising no new causes of action. 6 31 University System, having been served, moved to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. The argument was that as a public entity, University System could not be sued under Title III. Events and Cowboys also moved to dismiss the complaint, arguing that the court's earlier orders dismissing the action against each of them precluded Disabled Rights from naming them as defendants in the second complaint. 32 The district court granted all three motions to dismiss, holding that (1) the law of the case doctrine barred re-alleging claims against Events and Cowboys identical to those earlier dismissed; and (2) [a]s an entity of the State of Nevada, Defendant University System cannot be sued under Title III of the ADA. 33 On September 27, 2002, the district court entered judgment against Disabled Rights and in favor of all defendants. This appeal followed.
