2   BIG LAGOON RANCHERIA V. STATE OF CALIFORNIA

                          ORDER

   The opinion filed June 4, 2015, and published at — F.3d
—, 2015 WL 34998884, is amended as follows:

    At slip opinion page six, line eight, insert a new footnote
1 after  but before  as follows:

       517 U.S. 44,
       75 (1996), the Supreme Court held that
       Section 2710(d)(7) does not abrogate the
       states’ Eleventh Amendment sovereign
       immunity. California’s sovereign immunity is
       not implicated here, however, because the
       State has waived its immunity to suit in this
       context. See Rincon Band of Luiseno Mission
       Indians of Rincon Reservation v.
       Schwarzenegger, 602 F.3d 1019, 1026 (9th
       Cir. 2010).>.

   At slip opinion page twelve, line eleven insert  after  and before .

    At slip opinion page twelve, line fourteen insert <, 395>
after <385>.

    At slip opinion page eighteen, lines four–five remove  and
replace that text with .
