    COMPLAINANT’S WITHDRAWAL
    OF ERRONEOUSLY FILED UNSIGNED
    FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT
    AND OF ACCOMPANYING
    MOTION TO ADD PARTY DEFENDANT
    AND FOR LEAVE TO AMEND COMPLAINT
    ,
    TO PERMIT FILING AND SERVICE OF CORRECT DOCUMENTS
    Comes now the complainant, Caseyville Sport Choice, LLC, by its attorneys, Belsheim &
    Bruckert, L.L.C., and hereby withdraws the unsigned
    First Amended Complaint
    which it
    erroneously filed electronically on August 22, 2008, and the accompanying
    Motion to Add Party
    Defendant and for Leave to Amend Complaint
    which it also filed electronically on August 22,
    2008, so that it can file electronically with the Board – and serve on the party to be added as a
    defendant, Fairmount Park, Inc., a Delaware corporation – the properly signed
    First Amended
    - 1 -
    Electronic Filing - Received, Clerk's Office, August 26, 2008

    Complaint
    and an accompanying
    Motion to Add Party Defendant and for Leave to Amend
    Complaint
    . In support of this withdrawal of documents, the complainant states the following:
    1.
    The complainant filed a properly signed
    First Amended Complaint
    and
    accompanying
    Motion to Add Party Defendant and for Leave to Amend Complaint
    initially on
    July 9, 2008, which it did not then serve on the party defendant to be added, Fairmount Park,
    Inc., a Delaware corporation.
    2.
    The complainant did not then serve the
    First Amended Complaint
    and
    Motion to
    Add Party Defendant and for Leave to Amend Complaint
    because it thought that it must wait for
    the Board to grant the motion before serving those documents on the party defendant to be
    added, Fairmount Park, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
    3.
    When the Board did not act on the
    Motion to Add Party Defendant and for Leave
    to Amend Complaint
    , the complainant’s attorney inquired of the Hearing Officer the reason for
    the Board’s inaction.
    4.
    The Hearing Officer informed the complainant’s attorney during the week of
    August 18, 2008, that the Board would not act on the complainant’s
    Motion to Add Party
    Defendant and for Leave to Amend Complaint
    until the complainant amended the certificate of
    service on the
    First Amended Complaint
    to indicate that the complainant had served it on the
    party defendant to be added, Fairmount Park, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
    5.
    The complainant refiled the
    Motion to Add Party Defendant and for Leave to
    Amend Complaint
    and the
    First Amended Complaint
    electronically on August 22, 2008,
    intending merely to update the certificate of service on each document to indicate service on the
    party defendant to be added, Fairmount Park, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

    Electronic Filing - Received, Clerk's Office, August 26, 2008

    6.
    When the complainant’s attorney received the emails from the Board on Monday,
    August 25, 2008, confirming the refiling of the
    Motion to Add Party Defendant and for Leave to
    Amend Complaint
    and the
    First Amended Complaint
    , he clicked on the hyperlinks contained in
    the emails to view the documents online at the Board’s web site.
    7.
    The complainant’s attorney discovered that he had added the updated certificate
    of service to an unsigned pdf copy of the
    First Amended Complaint
    , and that he had erroneously
    filed electronically the unsigned pdf copy of the
    First Amended Complaint.
    8.
    To correct that error, the complainant hereby withdraws the unsigned pdf copy of
    the
    First Amended Complaint
    and the accompanying
    Motion to Add Party Defendant and for
    Leave to Amend Complaint
    which it filed electronically on August 22, 2008.
    9.
    The complainant refiles (contemporaneously with this document) the signed
    First
    Amended Complaint
    and the accompanying
    Motion to Add Party Defendant and for Leave to
    Amend Complaint
    , both bearing an updated certificate of service.
    10.
    The complainant also serves again (as indicated in the updated certificates of
    service) the signed
    First Amended Complaint
    and accompanying
    Motion to Add Party Defendant
    and for Leave to Amend Complaint
    on the party defendant to be added, Fairmount Park, Inc., a
    Delaware corporation.
