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. Previous appeal This request was the subject of a previous appeal. See SPR21/2868 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (November 5, 2021). The Commission provided a response on November 4, 2021. Unsatisfied with the Commission’s response, Attorney Pyle petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0063, was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, the Commission provided a supplemental response on January 24, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was the November 4th response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed.
