p0268 REVIEW DENIED / CERTIORARI DENIED After the National Indian Gaming Commission found that agreements between an Indian Tribe and a private corporation requiring the corporation to provide technical assistance, training, and advice to the Tribe for a monthly fee were not management agreements and therefore did not require Commission approval, the California Court of Appeal held that state court action to enforce the agreements was not pre-empted by federal law.
