The United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana dismissed Casino City’s attempt to take the Department of Justice to court for infringement of free speech.
The gambling portal filed a suit last August claiming the right to advertise gambling on the internet.
However, the court has found that “Casino City has failed to establish an actual case or controversy because it is clear it does not have standing to file this suit under the facts of this case.”
The court emphasized the fact that Casino City\’s activities are legal, therefore the gambling portal faces no legitimate threat of prosecution based on earlier actions of the Department of Justice.
“The record simply fails to support a finding that Casino City is in any way subject to threat of investigation or an actual investigation.”
The court also declared that Casino City has no claim for a First Amendment violation.
