ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
As previously disclosed, on February 23, 2007, the United States District
Court for the District of Columbia issued a decision in favor of the Gun Lake
Tribe ("Gun Lake") and the United States Department of Interior ("DOI") and
dismissed the lawsuit filed by Michigan Gambling Opposition ("MichGO") against
the DOI and officials of the DOI. MichGO's complaint sought injunctive and
declaratory relief against the DOI as a result of the DOI's determination to
take certain land (the "Property") into trust for the benefit of Gun Lake. The
District Court determined that there were no facts which would entitle MichGO to
any relief on the four issues raised in its complaint and, therefore, granted
the DOI and Gun Lake's motions to dismiss or, in the alternative, for summary
judgment (the "Dispositive Motions").
On March 1, 2007, MichGO filed a motion for stay pending appeal with the
District Court. On March 5, 2007, the District Court granted MichGO's motion for
stay pending appeal, thereby precluding the DOI from taking the Property into
trust for the benefit of Gun Lake until the District Court's decision granting
the Dispositive Motions has been reviewed on appeal. It is anticipated that
MichGO will appeal the District Court's decision granting the Dispositive
Motions. No assurances can be provided as to the outcome of this litigation. The
timing and feasibility of the project are dependent upon the receipt of the
necessary governmental and regulatory approvals. We plan to continue
contributing significant financial support to the project, even though there can
be no assurances as to when or if the necessary approvals will be obtained.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
