An appeals court on Monday remanded a complaint against Resorts World Las Vegas back to U.S. District Court for analysis and reconsideration.
High-stakes gambler Robert “R.J.” Cipriani in October appealed to a Ninth Circuit panel a dismissal by District Judge Miranda Du of a lawsuit against Resorts World and its former president, Scott Sibella.
Cipriani, who goes by the X handle “RobinHood 702,” has been pressing his case for several years, arguing that the casino allowed another gambler in the casino to harass him for weeks.
In an appeal before Circuit Judges Mark Bennett, Gabriel Sanchez and Holly Thomas, the court concluded that “the District Court abused its discretion in applying judicial estoppel to Cipriani’s negligence, innkeeper liability and negligent supervision claims against Resorts World.”
