ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On November 22, 2006, the United States Department of Justice (the "DOJ")
filed a Notice with the United States District Court for the District of
Columbia (the "District Court") in the matter captioned Michigan Gambling
Opposition v. the United States Department of the Interior (the "Gun Lake
Litigation") stating that in light of the hearing on, among other things, the
parties' cross-motions for summary judgment scheduled for November 29, 2006, the
Department of the Interior does not intend to take the land at issue into trust
prior to March 5, 2007. Previously, on October 27, 2006, the DOJ had filed a
Notice with the District Court in the Gun Lake Litigation stating that the
Department of the Interior planned to take the land at issue into trust on
January 5, 2007 if the plaintiffs did not seek injunctive relief or failed to
persuade the District Court to issue any relief precluding the Department of the
Interior from doing so. 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 this project, even though
there can be no assurances 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.
