The resolution to the Florida sports betting quagmire likely remains far off, like a drive from Key West to Pensacola.
But at least now there’s a road map. And a timetable…maybe.
This week, the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit was presented a proposed schedule for filing briefs in the West Flagler Associates vs. Haaland case that led to the shutdown of the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Hard Rock sports betting operation in November after less than a month in operation.
According to documents filed on June 21, the appellant Seminole Tribe and the plaintiff proposed a timetable that would require the filing of opening briefs within 40 days if the schedule is approved.
