The Pascua Yaqui Tribe has filed a motion to dismiss the remainder of its civil suit against those involved in the establishment of Club Royale, a private poker room that is also the subject of a state criminal investigation.

The tribe last month reached a settlement with Donna and Johnny Ray Rogers to close the poker room the couple opened July 25 at 2665 N. Campbell Ave. in exchange for ending its suit against the club's owners.

Monday's filing of a notice of voluntary dismissal applies to the part of the Aug. 17 suit that was against the International Card and Game Players Association and its founder, Harold Lee, a Tombstone resident and former Maricopa County justice of the peace who helped the Rogerses open Club Royale.

"The tribe has accomplished its initial purpose for its lawsuit, and that is to close Club Royale," lawyer Shannon Giles said.

Club Royale ceased operations Dec. 18, but five days later agents from the Arizona Department of Gaming and the Tucson Police Department executed search warrants at the card room and at homes occupied by the Rogerses.

State gaming officials began sending undercover agents into Club Royale in late July, according to an investigative report the gaming office posted on its Web site. The report said Club Royale and its owners violated state gambling laws.

That report and findings from the Dec. 23 searches have been forwarded to the Pima County Attorney's Office to determine if criminal charges will be filed.

Giles said the Pascua Yaqui Tribe is prepared to pursue legal action against any other card rooms that pop up in the Tucson area.

"As far as we know, there are no other poker parlors open in Pima County," Giles said.
