Judge dismisses Clonie Gowen's suit against Full Tilt for second time
- 10-23-2009
Online poker site Full Tilt Poker has scored another legal victory after a court in Nevada dismissed a lawsuit filled by Clonie Gowen for contractual violations and other damages for second time. The suit filed by Clonie Gowen was dismissed last week by Nevada's U.S. District Court Judge Robert C Jones, who denied Gowen’s motion to reconsider the case. However, the judge allowed Gowen's motion to re-file the case for third and final analysis.
Gowen, who served as member of Full Tilt's Team of sponsored pros from 2004 to 2008, filed a law suit against last year against Full Tilt Poker, several poker pros including Chris “Jesus†Ferguson, Phil Ivey, John Juanda, Phil Gordon, Erik Seidel, Jennifer Harman, and Andy Bloch, and several companies related to the poker site.ÂÂ
According to the suit, Full Tilt agreed to give her 1% of company for promoting Full Tilt's brand at live and televised poker tournaments and other events. Gowen claimed that FullTiltPoker.com violated its contract terms and other responsibilities and agreements, and requested the court an approximate of $40 million in compensations and punitive damages. The case was dismissed without prejudice, but Gowen was allowed to re-file the suit against Raymond Bitar, Howard Lederer, and Tiltware. Judge Jones’s dismissal was a response to that re-filing.
Gowen and her legal team will have one more chance to prepare her case and present a final argument in the next 15 days.
