ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS

 

As previously disclosed, on May 13, 2005, the United States Department of the Interior published in the Federal Register a Notice of Final Agency Determination (“Determination”) to take certain land into trust for the benefit of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan (the “Gun Lake Tribe”). The publication commenced a thirty-day period in which interested parties could seek judicial review of the Determination.  On June 13, 2005, Michigan Gambling Opposition (“MichGO”) filed a complaint (“Complaint”) in the United States District Court, District of Columbia, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against the Department of the Interior and officials of the United States Department of the Interior. The Complaint seeks judicial review of the Determination.  Station Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”) owns a 50% interest in MPM Enterprises, LLC (“MPM”). MPM and the Gun Lake Tribe are parties to development and management agreements, pursuant to which MPM will assist the Gun Lake Tribe in developing and operating a gaming and entertainment project to be located on the subject land. Not having been named as parties in the Complaint, the Gun Lake Tribe and the Company are currently assessing the appropriate course of action. However, there can be no assurances when or if the additional government approvals will be received.
