The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel filed a Motion to Dismiss versus the California Attorney General in the legal skirmish over the right to offer online bingo to California residents.

Such a motion is standard procedure in civil litigation after the plaintiff files a Complaint. The Iipay tribe promised to continue fighting after the state initiated the legal proceedings, so their recent filing seeking dismissal comes as no surprise.

A judge sided with the state last month in granting a temporary restraining order that put an end – at least for now – to the tribe’s Desert Rose Bingo endeavor. That online bingo site launched in advance of what the Iipay Nation are really after, and that is to roll out online poker via their PrivateTable.com website.

Private Table is open to Golden State residents for play-money, with a real-money launch repeatedly promised by Santa Ysabel throughout much of 2014. That launch has yet to take place, but the website has undergone a number of modifications in preparation of doing so, including naming a promotion for first-time real-money depositors.
