UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

FORTUNE PLAYERS GROUP, INC., et 

al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

WAYNE QUINT, JR., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-00800-TEH 

ORDER RE: SUPPLEMENTAL 

BRIEFING

This matter is under submission following a hearing on Defendants’ motion to 

dismiss, held on June 20, 2016. At the hearing, the Court invited the parties to discuss 

whether or not Fortune Players Group is engaged in a “closely regulated” industry such 

that the test articulated in New York v. Burger, 482 U.S. 691 (1987), applies. Plaintiffs 

argued, among other things, that for purposes of the pertinent regulations, Fortune Players 

Group is more akin to a “bank” providing liquidity in the form of proposition players, as 

opposed to a dealer or casino participating directly in the gambling industry. The Court 

finds that it would be helpful to have additional information about the role of third party 

providers of proposition player services in the gambling industry. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall meet and confer, and 

shall jointly submit a statement containing a description of Fortune Players Group and the 

role it plays in the gambling industry. If the parties are unable to agree on a description, 

the parties shall submit separate statements. Statements may not exceed five pages, and 

shall be submitted no later than Monday, July 18, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
