The ruling by Judge Thad Collins also called a nearly two-decades-long case in North Dakota an example of a runaway process that must stop.
Collins, chief bankruptcy judge for the Northern District of Iowa, issued his ruling on April 23 as part of a civil case that harks back to 2004, when Racing Services Inc. (RSI), an off-track horse race wagering company in Fargo, filed for bankruptcy.

FARGO Gabriel is the name we’d chosen for him, “God is my strength,” not long before he slipped from our lives and into God’s hands. We would come to need that strength in the days following, and in every day since.

Between 2000 and 2020, Volz spent about 18 months away from Sheyenne Gardens checking out other nurseries in Minnesota as possible business opportunities.
“I was planning on taking Neal’s business model of lots of variety along with me. I thought it was a smart business model for a bigger community,” he said.
