Tribe tries to block accord -Asks judge to ban Schwarzenegger pact

As Gov. Arnold  Schwarzenegger and legislative leaders continued budget negotiations  Monday, a San Diego-area tribe sued to block implementation of new  Indian-gaming compacts that are a key part of the administration's  plan to close a $15 billion deficit without raising taxes. The Rincon Luiseno Band of Indians has a hearing Friday in U.S.  District Court in San Diego, where it will ask a judge to grant an  injunction barring the state from implementing the new compacts  Schwarzenegger reached last week with five American Indian tribes  that operate Las Vegas-style casinos.
