The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear a lawsuit that challenged the legality of Indian gaming in New York.
"There's no place left to go," Cornelius Murray, an attorney who handled the case for anti-gaming groups, told Newsday. "It's the proverbial end of the line."
Anti-gaming groups said the approval of six tribal casinos, including three in the Catskills, violated the state's constitution. That argument was rejected by a New York court in a May 3, 2005, decision [Link] that was appealed to the Supreme Court.
The cases were Dalton v. Pataki [Docket No. 05-368] and Karr v. Pataki [Docket No. 05-361.
