Just a day after the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians were told that its original gaming rights for a scheduled Vallejo casino project may have come based on “a legal error,” the tribe filed motions on Friday morning in three federal cases seeking dismissal of lawsuits brought by its rival casino tribes.

The proposed 160-acre Vallejo casino would include the construction of 24 single-family residences, a tribal administration building, a parking garage, and a 45-acre biological preserve area located within and adjacent to the city boundary in Solano County, near the intersection of Interstate 80 and Highway 37. The casino facility, at a cost of $700 million, would be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
