A U.S. District Court judge has denied in part a motion by Wynn Resorts Ltd. to dismiss a two-year-old lawsuit filed by the president of a Canadian mining company.

U.S. District Judge Anne Traum earlier this month issued an order granting in part and denying in part a case dismissal sought by Wynn involving the alleged failure of the company to investigate the source of funds gambled and lost by a California man.

Traum dismissed claims of negligence and unjust enrichment but allowed a claim of the plaintiff’s receipt of stolen funds.

Wynn on Friday declined a request for comment.
