In a lawsuit filed by high-roller Dwight Manley against MGM Grand, Manley alleges he was drugged and, while intoxicated, was permitted to increase his credit limit, resulting in a $3 million loss during a stay at the Mansion in December 2021. A U.S. Magistrate Judge, Elayna J. Youchah, ruled that MGM failed to preserve relevant evidence, specifically text messages between MGM employees Reboton and Manacher, rejecting MGM's explanation for the missing texts. The court granted Manley reasonable attorneys' fees related to preparing the motion for sanctions and reply. Separately, the Third Circuit has expedited New Jersey's appeal of a preliminary injunction granted to Kalshi, a prediction market platform. New Jersey's initial brief is due by June 10, with all briefing expected to conclude by July 31, and the case scheduled at the earliest available date. The initial hearing is set for June 9. Kalshi highlighted in its Maryland reply brief its two-court winning streak on preliminary injunction motions, arguing that the Maryland Lottery offers no reason to break this consensus or expose Kalshi to irreparable harm during ongoing proceedings. Additionally, a judge ruled that a criminal case against a Las Vegas Metro police sergeant should proceed.
