The SD Supreme Court handed down one decision this morning,
holding inter alia:
1)
Deadwood Hotel/Casino Sale Dispute laid to rest
BROCKLEY v. ELLIS, ET AL., 2023 S.D. 52: Protracted litigation in regard to the sale of
a hotel/casino in Deadwood. The events
giving rise to litigation are not susceptible to a succinct summary. The opening paragraph of the opinion describes
the resolution of the dispute at the trial level and on appeal, as follows:
[¶1.] The
circuit court entered two orders in which it denied requests from Mark and
Annesse Brockley (the Brockleys) to hold Michael Trucano (Trucano), the Michael
J. Trucano Living Trust (Trucano Trust), and Hickoks Hotel & Suites, LLC
(Hickoks) in contempt. The Brockleys filed a timely appeal. We affirm.
This decision is unanimous (5-0), with opinion authored by
Justice Myren.
