Krivosha, C. J.,
concurring in the result.
The majority opinion correctly holds that there is insufficient evidence to establish that the State of Nebraska has unequivocally waived its sovereign immunity, and therefore it must be held that such sovereign immunity has not been waived. Having therefore determined that there has been no waiver, I do not believe it appropriate to conclude further that, even if immunity had been waived, which we say has not occurred, it was only waived in regard to state court actions and not in regard to federal court actions. In my view, the State of Nebraska has not waived its immunity either in state court or in *723federal court, and therefore we should answer the question posed to us by the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska solely on the basis that sovereign immunity has not been waived by the State of Nebraska, without making any distinction between state court actions and federal court actions.
