Emergency Appeal Of Temporary Restraining Order Likely Moot, As State Shutdown Averted

Expect the Michigan Court of Appeals to dismiss as moot the emergency appeal by the Michigan Attorney General's Office of Wayne County Circuit Judge William Giovan's Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the State of Michigan Gaming Control Board from requiring the closure of the three Detroit Casinos, as the state government shutdown has been ended after approximately four hours. It is also possible that the Attorney General's Office may withdraw the appeal as it is now moot.
