Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit March 27, 1998, 94-35515 (UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. THE SPOKANE TRIBE OF INDIANS, Defendant-Appellant)

KOZINSKI, Circuit Judge.

On application by the United States, the district court enjoined the Spokane Tribe of Indians from conducting lucrative gambling operations on its reservations. The preliminary injunction was issued under the authority of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), 25 U.S.C. § 2701 et seq., which has since been declared partially unconstitutional.
