Letter from Gulfside Attorney to Judge Tim Fox. Let’s hope for an end to the litigation in favor of the Racing Commission per Gulfside’s waiver of a request for hearing, which I’ve bolded in the text. It sounds like they are ready to be done with this!

RE: Pulaski County Circuit Court Case No. 60CV-I 9-5832
Gulfside Casino Partnership v. Arkansas Dept. of Finance and Administration and Arkansas Racing Commission
Your Honor:
We would like to inform the Court that at the Racing Commission’s meeting on December 19, 2019, the Commission announced a special meeting to be held on January 6, 2020 when there is scheduled to be a vote on the issuance of a license from the second application period. I have enclosed the Public Notice isued by the Commission to give notice of the meeting. The Commission Chairman stated that the Commission welcomed an Order from this Court enjoining the Commission or otherwise resolving the litigation prior to that date. Gulfside waives any request for hearing should the Court determine that it has enough information to make a decision based on the record and pleadings submitted in this matter.
I am including counsel for all Parties of this communication with the Court by E-File filing of this letter.
Respectfully,
GULFSIDE CASINO PARTNERSHIP,
