Queens residents say they plan to refile a lawsuit as soon as Friday seeking to overturn the state license granted for the proposed Metropolitan Park casino near Citi Field, after a judge dismissed their initial case in late March and then recused himself.
The original lawsuit, filed against the New York State Gaming Commission in the county court in Manhattan, challenged the license awarded to Queens Future LLC, the development team behind the $8 billion casino project led by Mets owner Steve Cohen and Hard Rock International.
On March 27, Judge Nicholas W. Moyne dismissed the case, saying that it was filed in the wrong county.
