In a tense Tuesday hearing, Fox offered several parties the opportunity to request his recusal in light of the complaint, but none did. While the complaint hasn’t been made public, it reflects the case parties’ long-standing frustrations with the speed and manner in which Judge Timothy Fox has disposed of the case. The legal quagmire has become even more complicated with the filing of a complaint against the Pulaski County circuit judge presiding over the case by Legends attorney and former state Attorney General Dustin McDaniel. A judge expects to rule in the coming days on whether Legends Resort and Casino is entitled to open a casino in Pope County.īoth sides promise to appeal to the Arkansas Supreme Court, but a decision at the circuit court level will finally begin to resolve the nearly four-year-old question of who should operate Arkansas’ fourth authorized casino.
