Supreme Court won't hear lawsuit over disputed casino jackpot
Thursday, October 7, 2010
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined the petition in Hoffman
v. Sandia Resort and Casino.
Gary Hoffman, a
non-Indian, claims he won $1.6 million on a slot machine at Sandia Resort and Casino.
Sandia Pueblo said
the machine malfunctioned.
Hoffman sued in state court but the lawsuit was dismissed due to the
tribe's sovereign immunity.
