A federal judge in Texas has delayed a lawsuit which aims to shut down the Tigua Tribe's casino in El Paso.

U.S. District Judge David Briones had been set to hear oral arguments on the case beginning today. But on Friday, he tranferred the case to visiting District Judge Garnett Thomas Eisele and a new trial date has not been set.

The Supreme Court recently declined to review a case which allows the tribe to be sued by the state of Texas.
