State challenges La Mesa appeal of
license decision

Albuquerque, NM - Nov. 17, 2011 - The New Mexico Racing Commission is asking a
Raton judge to dismiss La Mesa Racetrack and Casino’s appeal of the commission’s
decision that La Mesa’s horseracing license for the unbuilt racino expired last
year.
The commission filed the dismissal motion last week, along with a memorandum in
support of the motion, claiming that Colfax County is not the proper venue for
the case, the appeal notice was filed two days beyond the time limit for such
notice, and La Mesa has failed to follow other judicial requirements regarding
the appeal process. In addition, the racing commission is asking Judge John
Paternoster, if he allows the case to proceed, to reconsider the injunction he
issued in September barring the commission from accepting and considering
applications for the state’s final racing license to which La Mesa developer
Michael Moldenhauer claims he still has the exclusive right.
