ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
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 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. Unless the District Court's decision
is appealed and a stay is granted pending such appeal, the DOI is free to take
the land into trust, which is necessary for Gun Lake to commence construction of
its proposed gaming facility. It is anticipated that MichGO will appeal the
District Court's decision and seek a stay pending appeal. 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.
