Termination suit vs Imperial Pacific is dismissed
The federal court dismissed yesterday the wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former company official against Imperial Pacific International (CNMI) LLC.
U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona dismissed the case after both parties settled the case and agreed to drop the matter.
With the case’s dismissal, Danny Ewing, a former casino vice president of table games for Best Sunshine International Ltd., can no longer re-file the case.
The terms and conditions of the settlement deal were not disclosed.
Attorney William M. Fitzgerald is counsel for Ewing, while George L. Hasselback is counsel for Imperial Pacific.
In his lawsuit, Ewing accused the casino management of engaging in illegal practices. He said the casino allowed a customer to deposit $400,000 without the required Anti-Money Laundering identification.
Imperial Pacific operates Best Sunshine Live, a casino and training site for its workers who will ultimately work at its permanent casino, now being built in Garapan.
Ewing sued Imperial Pacific for wrongful termination in violation of public policy and Fair Labor Standards Act and Occupation Safety and Health Act regulations, immigration violation, wrongful failure to hire; and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Ewing demanded unspecified damages.
Imperial Pacific has denied the allegations.
