Date Filed Document Text
November 29, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 26 OPINION AND ORDER: Burns Ranches has not met its burden of establishing an unequivocal waiver of sovereign immunity that applies in this case. It has instead relied exclusively on § 2201, which does not work. Accordingly, the DOIs motion to dismiss 9 is GRANTED. Since the claim against the DOI fails, and Burns Ranches has not brought an independent claim against the Nongovernmental Defendants, their motion to dismiss 13 is GRANTED as well. Signed on 11/29/11 by Judge Michael W. Mosman. (dls)
