| Judge Fuentes was part of a three judge panel led by Thomas Hardiman which presided over a case about whether the State of Delaware has legal standing to expand sports betting. The panel ruled on September 1, 2009 that the State of Delaware can offer sports betting on parlays (multiple games), but ruled that betting on individual games including football, basketball, and hockey is illegal under federal law. The ruling from the Third Circuit affirmed Judge Greg Sleet's ruling that Delaware was limited to offering sports betting for multiple games. This is consistent with a 1976 law that outlaws wagering on individual games.[3] Judge Fuentes joined Judges Thomas Hardiman and Theodore McKeeon the three judge panel.[4] |
