Action to Recover Gambling Debt

In Las Vegas Sands, LLC v. Nehme, No. 09-16740, an action by a casino to recover a gambling debt, the court reversed summary judgment for plaintiff where the district court abused its discretion in excluding from evidence 1) a letter from one of defendant’s attorneys that predated his unpaid marker by seven months and that requested, on defendant’s behalf, that plaintiff cancel and not renew, under any circumstances, his credit line; and 2) a U.S. Postal Service return receipt, dated three days after the letter, that recited someone at plaintiff may have received the attorney’s letter before defendant signed the marker.
