The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts continues to face setbacks in its pursuit of a casino.
The tribe switched gaming partners and dropped out of a deal with a host community. But the purchase of a new site has been tied up in litigation.
The tribe was due to close on 45 acres in the city of Fall River on November 14. The tribe agreed to pay $4.7 million for the land.
A group of taxpayers, including the chief of a rival tribe, contends the sale is illegal. A judge agreed although the city is fighting the decision.
The tribe eventually wants to purchase 300 acres in Fall River for a total of $21 million.
