The state of California is looking to extend a temporary restraining order affecting the casino owned by the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians. The Rolling Hills Casino should not be shut down, the state said in a court filing on Monday. But a preliminary injunction is needed because rival factions of the tribe have failed to resolve their dispute, the judge was told "The armed forces have not returned, and no incidents have occurred," the state said in the filing. "The groups in the intra-tribal dispute, however, have not retracted earlier threats." Chairman Andy Freeman also opposes shutting down the casino. But his rivals believe the facility has been operating in violation of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. The parties are due in court on July 7. The temporary restraining order expires July 8.
