Opinion

HULL, J.

At issue in this case is whether plaintiff Country Eggs, Inc., can collect a judgment owed by the California Egg Commission (the Commission) from defendants State of California and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (referred to collectively as “defendants” or “the State”). We hold that, since the State did not receive the funds that were the basis for plaintiff’s judgment against the Commission and, as to the State, plaintiff’s claim is for money damages and not for specific monetary relief, that claim is barred by the doctrine of sovereign immunity.
