A Maricopa County Superior Court judge has ruled the Glendale City Council's approval of a Phoenix Coyotes deal should stand.

The ruling by Judge Dean Fink comes more than a week after the Phoenix-based Goldwater Institute argued that a vote to approve an arena lease agreement with Coyotes suitor Greg Jamison should be invalidated based on a lack of necessary votes to allow the deal to immediately go into effect and a failure to put an arena operations contract up for bid.
