Default AEG wins court order to stop VLT selection process

http://www.saratogian.com/articles/2...3266979614.txt

SARATOGA SPRINGS – The firm chosen to run Aqueduct Race Track’s racino earlier this year, and later disqualified, has won a court order bringing the latest selection process to a halt. Justice Barry D. Kramer issued a temporary restraining order on Monday, stopping the state Lottery Division from conducting its review of one remaining bidder – Genting New York LLC – until a July 23 hearing is held. Papers were expected to be served today, but spokesperson Jennifer Givner said Lottery hadn’t received them by early afternoon. The suit was filed by Aqueduct Entertainment Group in state Supreme Court, Schenectady County, where Lottery is headquartered.

Barry Kramer is the 4th best high school basketball player ever from the Capital District region behind Sam Perkins, Pat Riley and Dave Blaha.

Make it the third. No way Pat Riley was better than Barry Kramer.

And I thought the fight for number 2 would be Kramer versus Perkins.

From a legal standpoint, I wouldn't read too much into this - yet.

If I had to make an educated guess about the procedural mechanisms behind the issuance of the temporary restraining order (TRO), it was probably secured because the Lottery isn't scheduled to make a recommendation until August 3 and because the court scheduled a quick turnaround date for a hearing on AEG's application for a preliminary injunction (on July 23). The TRO just maintains the status quo until the court rules on the preliminary injunction application. In order to prevail on that application, AEG has to show a likelihood of success on the merits. Based on a cursory reading of the complaint, I don't think this lawsuit has much merit, and if that's the case, then the application for a preliminary injunction would likely be denied on July 23 and the TRO lifted. If the court reserves on a decision on July 23 and TRO is still in effect on August 3, that's a whole different ball game (and a long litigation process could ensue).

If Perkins counts then shouldn't Lamar Odom Kardashian be included. How about Gary Holle SR. Taylor Battle at Penn St was very good, what ever happened to his brother he was an outstanding high school player, his name escapes me.

Odom was under contract in high school losing his amatuer status. I remember seeing Gary Holle playing baseball in Bleecker stadium

Talk about a thread tangent. To be inlcuded on this list is quite an honor, but so not true.

Last year's inaugural Capitol District HOF Class.

I am sure the Judge will love the part where AEG illegally obtained information regarding their competitors bids during the bidding process.

The dismissal of this action should not take long.
