Hearing Planned for Sealing of Indiana Casino Law Suit
A judge ruled that court records in a gambling law suit between the partners in the new Orange County casino will remain sealed until at least the end of next month, when he will hold a hearing on whether the records should be made public.
Orange Circuit Judge Larry Blanton on Tuesday scheduled the hearing for July 31.
Cook Group Inc., a Bloomington medical device manufacturer, filed the suit this month against Indianapolis real estate developer Lauth Property Group Inc., and Blanton on June 8 granted Cook's motion to seal the records.
State law, however, requires a hearing to be held before a lawsuit is sealed. After being questioned Monday by The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., about his decision, Blanton agreed to hold a hearing.
The companies have not commented on the lawsuit, but Ernest Yelton, executive director of the Indiana Gaming Commission, said that the dispute was over control of the casino.
