A federal judge won't issue a temporary restraining order that a gaming company sought against the Tonkawa Tribe of Oklahoma.
Gaughan Gaming started
managing the Tonkawa
Casino and the Native Lights Casino
in 2007. Last September, the tribe ended the two management contracts and
suspended the company's gaming license.
The tribe is holding a hearing today to determine whether to permanently revoke Gaughan's license. Judge Joe Heaton said the company didn't show how the proceeding would cause "irreparable harm."
Turtle Talk has posted documents from the case, Gaughan Gaming v. Tonkawa Tribe.
The Gaughan agreements are on the National
Indian Gaming Commission's list of approved management contracts.
