Pinoleville tribe sued over failed Hopland restaurant, bar

The former owner of the historic Hopland Inn in Mendocino County is suing the Pinoleville Pomo tribe, its chairwoman and its former business consultant, claiming improper and fraudulent business practices arising from the tribe’s operation of the inn, which is currently shuttered and undergoing renovation under new owners.

San Luis Obispo-based developer Forster-Gill Inc. is seeking more than $1 million, alleging fraud, breach of contract and breach of purchase agreement, including unpaid rent in connection with the 2009 lease, according to Mendocino County Superior Court records.
