Plaintiffs,

ORDER RE: SUPPLEMENTAL
BRIEFING
v.

WAYNE QUINT, JR., et al.,
Defendants.

This matter is under submission following a hearing on Defendants’ motion to
United States District Court
Northern District of California
11
dismiss, held on June 20, 2016. At the hearing, the Court invited the parties to discuss
12
whether or not Fortune Players Group is engaged in a “closely regulated” industry such
13
that the test articulated in New York v. Burger, 482 U.S. 691 (1987), applies. Plaintiffs
14
argued, among other things, that for purposes of the pertinent regulations, Fortune Players
15
Group is more akin to a “bank” providing liquidity in the form of proposition players, as
16
opposed to a dealer or casino participating directly in the gambling industry. The Court
17
finds that it would be helpful to have additional information about the role of third party
18
providers of proposition player services in the gambling industry.
19
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall meet and confer, and
20
shall jointly submit a statement containing a description of Fortune Players Group and the
21
role it plays in the gambling industry. If the parties are unable to agree on a description,
22
the parties shall submit separate statements. Statements may not exceed five pages, and
23
shall be submitted no later than Monday, July 18, 2016.
24
25
IT IS SO ORDERED.
