When the City Council adopted the card room ban in December 2005, the owner of the card room immediately filed suit in federal district court seeking, among other things, to prevent the enforcement of the Ordinance.
Since that time, the litigation has been winding its way through the judicial system and the card room has been allowed to remain in operation, pursuant to court order.
Currently, the dispute is being considered at two levels, one in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and one in King County Superior.
The City prevailed at the federal district court, and all of the card room owner’s claims were dismissed. That decision has been appealed to the Ninth Circuit.
In Superior Court, the City recently prevailed on the card room owner’s motion for partial summary judgment regarding the gambling tax.
The Ninth Circuit has not yet scheduled a date for hearing on the appeal.
Trial in the Superior Court action is set for March 2008.
We understand that the City’s card room ban will not be enforceable until such time as the courts have ruled on these matters or the cases are otherwise resolved.
