SANTA FE, N.M. — A Nevada casino consultant has filed suit against the leadership of the Pojoaque (poh-WAH'-kay) Pueblo including President George Rivera and other top pueblo officials alleging they violated the law when terminating his firm and revoking its gaming license.

Randall Fine of Las Vegas, Nev., argues in a 31-page claim filed Tuesday in federal district court that his firm, Fine Point Group, was fired improperly in March 2011 after finding that the defendants were diverting casino revenues to their personal advantage and for other improper purposes.
