JUDGE DISMISSES DUTROW SUIT AGAINST NEW YORK OFFICIALS

U.S. District Judge Sandra Townes dismissed former trainer Rick Dutrow’s suit against the New York State Gaming Commission, John Sabini, Daniel Hogan, Charles Diamond, and the Association of Racing Commissioners International on Tuesday.
In the federal case, Dutrow alleged that the defendants deprived him of his right to due process and that the 2011 proceedings in which his license was revoked for ten years had a “preordained result.” The defendants moved to have the suit dismissed.
In her dismissal, Townes stated that federal district courts lack jurisdiction in suits that are essentially appeals of state court rulings except under certain exclusions, which Dutrow’s case did not meet. Townes also said that Dutrow’s team failed to demonstrate what evidence he would have brought, had he been allowed due process in state proceedings.

New York officials handed down an order to revoke Dutrow’s license for ten years in February 2011, and the issue has been in courts ever since. After a number of stays, Dutrow began serving the decade-long sentence in early 2013. His latest move to federal court was one of his last options, and experts believed it was doomed from the start, as federal courts rarely meddle in the affairs of state jurisdictions without obvious violation of a subject’s federal constitutional rights.
“I’ve never cheated to win a race in my life,” Dutrow told NBC News in May, insisting that he was targeted because of “making truthful but embarrassing comments” he had made about the industry and himself.
