v.
STATE OF CALIFORNIA; State Banking Department Defendants-Appellees.
No. 88-5871.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted* Jan. 26, 1989.
Decided Jan. 30, 1989.
Before HUG, SCHROEDER and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM**
Ruth Craft and Ulysses Tory appeal pro se the district court's dismissal of their civil rights action against the State of California and the State of California Banking Department. We affirm.
The eleventh amendment prohibits federal courts from entertaining suits by private parties against states and state agencies. Welch v. State Dept. of Highways, 107 S.Ct. 2941, 2945 (1987). The State of California Banking Department is a state agency. See Cal.Fin.Code Sec. 200 (West 1968 & Supp.1989). Therefore, the State of California and the State of California Banking Department are immune from suit.1
AFFIRMED.
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for disposition without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4

On November 1, 1988, Ruth Craft and Ulysses Tory filed a response to the State of California's motion to file a late brief on appeal, which this court construed as a motion to strike portions of the record. So construed, the motion is DENIED
