Linncourt dismisses suit against IRGC in Cedar Rapids
Linn County District Court dismissed attorney Eugene Kopecky's suit seeking a declaratory judgment against the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission over its April denial of a Cedar Rapids casino license. Judge Baumgartner ruled Kopecky must first pursue administrative judicial review with the commission before court action. He plans to seek that review, then possibly return to court if unresolved.
