California’s Wilton Rancheria Tribe has landed an important legal victory in its effort to build a casino in Elk Grove, Calif. US District Court Trevor McFadden earlier this week threw out a motion opposing the project brought by Stand Up For California.

Stand Up For California “is a statewide organization with a focus on gambling issues affecting California, including tribal gaming, card clubs, horse racing, charitable gaming, and the lottery,” according to the group’s web site.
