DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The developer of a proposed $55 million Ottumwa casino complex says he won't pursue a court challenge to the state's denial of a gambling license.



Ingenus Management and Consulting president Ken Mimmack says he would be interested in pursuing an Ottumwa casino project in the future if the opportunity arises.



After the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission in May rejected license applications for Ottumwa, Fort Dodge and Tama County, Mimmack sent a letter to the commission asking them to reconsider their decision concerning for the proposed Rippling Waters Casino.



The state attorney general's office responded that any appeal of the commission's decision would have to be pursued in state court.



Mimmack told the Des Moines Register his Brainerd, Minn.-based company has no interest in a court battle.
