ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION, TO SHOW CAUSE, AND RESOLVING APPEAL OF DISCOVERY DISPUTE.

May 6, 2021: JW Gaming Development LLC v Pinoleville Pomo Gaming Commission
Federal Court has already awarded JW Gaming $5.4 million. JW Gaming seeks a TRO to enjoin the Tribe from proceeding with an action it filed against JW Gaming, its attorneys and Westamerica Bank in a purported tribal court of the Tribe. Immediate relief is necessary because the tribal action violates the Tribe's express waiver in a 2012 promissory note with JW Gaming of any right to have disputes heard in any tribal forum, including associated requirements of exhaustion of remedies.
