The United States and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) filed a [federal lawsuit against Louisiana]() Nov. 13. The federal plaintiffs seek a ruling that Louisiana gambling laws are preempted for transactions listed, offered or executed through CFTC-regulated designated contract markets. They also seek preliminary and permanent injunctions barring state officials from enforcing or seeking to extend the Nov. 12 order.
