Jeffrey J. Pyle, Esq. v. Massachusetts Gaming Commission (SPR 20212868)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records November 5, 2021 SPR21/2868 Carrie Torrisi, Esq. Associate General Counsel Massachusetts Gaming Commission 101 Federal Street, 12th Floor Boston, MA 02110 Dear Attorney Torrisi: I have received the petition of Jeffrey J. Pyle, Esq. appealing the response of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (Commission) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On October 5, 2021, Jennifer Williams-Alvarez, requested: [d]ocuments, communications and/or disclosures pertaining to an internal investigation into Wynn Resorts CEO Matthew or Matt Maddox, from January 1, 2020, to present. This includes communications that disclose the existence of an investigation, any materials that describe the investigation and/or complaint(s), and any disclosures about the outcome of an investigation; and any records and/or communications between the MGC, the IEB [the Investigations and Enforcement Bureau] and/or Wynn Resorts about whether this investigation would preclude a finding that Mr. Maddox possesses the ‘requisite integrity, honesty and good character that are statutorily mandated by M.G.L. c.23K §12(a)(1)’ or would otherwise impact his suitability. The Commission provided a response on October 20, 2021. Unsatisfied with the Commission’s response, Attorney Pyle petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/2868, was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, the Commission provided a supplemental response on November 4, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was the October 20th response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. If issues remain unresolved, Attorney Pyle may appeal the substantive nature of the Commission’s November 4th response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
