Foxwoods zoning suit (88 EM 2007)

It looks like the Court is in a hurry to rule on Foxwoods' suit. The deadline for the City to submit its brief is June 13, 2007. The City Solicitor asked for 30 additional days to brief the case, but got just two.

The form of Foxwoods' suit--an emergency petition for review--is the same as that used by the Gaming Board to block the casino referendum. If the Court rules as quickly as it did in the referendum case--i.e., the same day as receiving briefs in opposition--it could rule on Foxwoods' zoning suit as early as Wednesday, June 13, 2007.
