J. Carter denies a temporary restraining order to a casino developer who accused the Northern Mariana Islands of overcharging it for missed casino license fees and violating constitutional contract clauses. The developer could not show that an additional regulatory fee is an unreasonable impairment as the developer paid the fees for several years before it stopped. The commonwealth has not violated due process, as the interactions and relationship between its casino commission and the developer during previous litigation do not constitute a conflict of interest.
