ON REMAND FROM THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT

EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:

This Copyright/Lanham Act case was remanded from the Supreme Court for reconsideration in light of its decision in Seminole Tribe of Fla. v. Florida, 517 U.S. 44, 116 S.Ct. 1114, 134 L.Ed.2d 252 (1996). The issue is whether Congress properly exercised authority to subject states to suit in federal court for violation of those statutes.
