The case that Gulfside and, now, Choctaw is gnawing over is a challenge to whether or not Legends is qualified to be a casino operator under the Arkansas Casino Gaming Rules.
This is in Judge Tim Fox’s court.
He had ruled last year that CNB was not qualified to intervene in the original Gulfside vs. ARC case. In February, the Arkansas Supreme Court, in CV-20-211, said, “We conclude that Cherokee was entitled to intervention as a matter of right and therefore reverse and remand the circuit court’s decision.”
Then, of course, he ruled the same way, and on 11/12, the original case was reversed and dismissed by the Supreme Court in CV-21-289.
He’s already struck out twice over the Pope County casino.
Will he go for three?
