Enterprise. For purposes of this Section, any such claims may be brought in either the Tribal

Court or state court unless it is finally determined by a state or federal court that IGRA does not

permit the shilling ofjurisdiction over visitors personal injury suits to state court, in which case

jurisdiction over such claims shall be exclusively in the Tribal Court.

The policies shall provide bodily injury and property damage coverage in an amount

specified in an applicable Tribal-State Compact, currently at least fifly million dollars

($50,000,000) per person and fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) per occurrence. Such liability

a Certificate of Insurance showing that the Pueblo, and its agents and employees, are insured to

the extent and in the circumstances described in this Section. The Commission shall provide the

State Gaming Representative a copy of each Certificate of Insurance. If the State Gaming

Representative so requests in writing, the Certificate of Insurance may be furnished directly to

the State Gaming Representative from the insurance carrier or the insuring agency.

the State of New Mexico, waives its defense of sovereign immunity in connection with any

claims for compensatory damages up to the amount of insurance required in Section 14(A)

above, currently fifty million dollars ( $50,000,000) per occurrence. This is a limited waiver and

does not waive the Pueblos immunity from suit for any other purpose. The Pueblo shall ensure

that a Policy of Insurance acquired to fulfill the requirements of this Section shall include a

provision under which the insurer agrees not to assert the defense of sovereign immunity on

behalf of the insured up to the limits of liability set forth in this Paragraph. In any claim brought

under the provisions of this Section, New Mexico law shall govern the substantive rights of the

claimant, and shall be applied as applicable by the forum in which the claim is heard, except that

the Tribal Court shall not be required to apply New Mexico law to a claim brought by a member

of the Pueblo.

2. Nothing in this Ordinance shall be construed as an admission of liability as to any

claim for damages or as an agreement or indication of willingness to pay any amount as damages

absent a judicial determination of fault, and the Pueblo, the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming

Regulatory Commission, each Gaming Enterprise Board, each Gaming Enterprise, their

insurer(s), or any of them, shall in every instance have the right to fully defend such claims.

shall establish for every Gaming Facility on the San Felipe Reservation health, safety, and

constructed by the Gaming Enterprise or the Management Contractor hereafter shall be

constructed and all facilities shall be maintained so as to comply with such standards.

Inspections shall be conducted by the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission with

respect to these standards at least annually. If the State Gaming Representative requests

sufficiently in advance of an annual inspection, the representative may be present during such

inspection. Each Gaming Enterprise or Management Contractor shall correct any deficiencies

noted in such inspections within a reasonable period of time. The San Feipe Pueblo Gaming

Regulatory Commission shall provide copies of such inspection reports to the State Gaming

Representative, if requested to do so in writing.

D. Patron Dispute Resolution Procedures. The Policy of the Pueblo is to encourage

resolution of disputes at the lowest possible level, and as quickly as possible. These provisions

should only be followed when the dispute cannot be resolved on the floor or by the General

Manager.

1. Whenever a patron of the Gaming Facility disputes the resolution of a conflict by

the General Manager of the Gaming Facility or its employees, whether such dispute concerns

payment of alleged winnings to a patron or any other matter not within the limited scope of

Section 14(A), and the General Manager and the patron are unable to resolve the dispute to the

Page 34
satisfaction of the patron, the General Manager shall inform the patron of his/her right to request

that the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission conduct an investigation.

2. Upon request of the patron, the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory

Commission, through an inspector, shall conduct whatever investigation it deems necessary and

Commission first receives notification from the General Manager or a request to conduct an

investigation from the patron, the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission shall make

a recommendation to resolve the dispute. If the recommendation concerns law enforcement

action, then the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission shall take action to initiate

the enforcement action by the appropriate authority. If the recommendation concerns action to

be taken by the Gaming Enterprise, the San Feipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission shall

transmit its recommendation to the Gaming Enterprise Board and General Manager with a copy

to the patron.

the aggrieved party shall have 15 days after the date of receipt of the recommended decision of

the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission to file a statement of position with the

San Feipe Gaming Enterprise Board. The Gaming Enterprise Board may set a hearing on the

matter or may make a decision based solely upon the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory

Commissions recommendation and other documentation provided to it by the patron and the

General Manager. The Gaming Enterprise Board shall then issue a written decision and mail it

to the parties. The decision of the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Enterprise Board shall be final and

binding upon the patron and the General Manager and shall not be subject to judicial review or to

other legal action in federal, state or tribal court.

SECTION 15. Suspension or Revocation of Licenses

A. Grounds.

1. NIGC Information.

a. If, after the issuance of a gaming license, the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming

a. If a licensee makes a false statement in any application for a license, in

any statement annexed thereto, or in any response to a request by the San Felipe

Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission for information; is determined to have

engaged in any activity unknown to the Commission at the time of licensing

which, if known, would have been grounds for disapproval of a license

(regardless of whether the activity occurred before or after the licensing process);

fails to keep sufficient books and records to substantiate the reports required by

this Gaming Ordinance; falsifies any books or records relating to any transaction

connected with the operation or conduct of any game of chance; is convicted of

any felony or gaming offense; interferes with, unduly influences, or attempts to

interfere or unduly influence any decision or process of the government of the

questions of the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission or otherwise

fails to comply with this Gaming Ordinance or the terms of any license granted

this Section, such license may be revoked. This sanction is in addition to any

licensees license pending resolution of the criminal charge. The licensee shall be

entitled to a hearing before the Commission regarding the suspension. After

Gaming Regulatory Commission of the outcome and may seek to have the

may, upon notice, hold a hearing, after which it may lift the suspension, revoke

the license, or take other authorized action as appropriate.

B. Notice; Immediate Suspension. Proceedings to suspend or revoke a license shall be

initiated by the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission by serving a complaint upon

the licensee. If, in the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commissions judgment, the public

interest; the effective regulation and control of gaming; or the safe, fair and honest operation and

conduct of Games of Chance so require, the San Feipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission

may suspend a license immediately, pending the holding of a hearing. Only a reasonable belief

by the Commission that a licensee has committed an act or omission that, if proven, would

Page 36
warrant suspension or revocation is required for an immediate suspension pending a hearing.

Such an immediate suspension shall take effect upon service of the complaint upon the licensee.

C. Contents of Complaint; Service. The complaint shall set forth the violations of this

Gaming Ordinance which the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission has reasonable

cause to believe the licensee has committed. The San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory

licensee at the address shown upon the license. The complaint shall notify the licensee of the

place and date of a hearing, such date to be not less than 20 days nor more than 30 days after the

licensee receives a copy of the complaint.

D. Answer; Subpoenas. Upon receipt of a complaint and notice of hearing, the licensee

shall answer the complaint and shall inform the San Feipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory

Commission whether the licensee desires to present evidence. At the request of the licensee for

good cause shown, or on its own motion, the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission

shall issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses and for the production of papers, books,

records and documents of any kind.

E. Hearing; Written Decision; Notification to NIGC. The hearing shall be held and

concluded without unreasonable delay. The San Feipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission

decision. The San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission shall issue its decision within

30 days either of the hearing or of the conclusion of any post-hearing briefing, whichever is later.

surrendered or not.

G. Additional Sanctions. Upon a determination to suspend or revoke a license, the San

Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission, in addition to any other penalties that may be

imposed, may declare the licensee ineligible to operate or conduct Games of Chance, to

participate, directly or indirectly, in the operation or conduct of Games of Chance, or to apply for

a license for a period not exceeding 12 months. Such declaration of ineligibility may be

extended to include any primary management officials, key employees, owners, officers, or

directors of the licensee, and any of its subsidiary organizations, parent organizations, or

affiliates.

H. Appeal to Tribal Court. Any licensee aggrieved by a decision of the San Felipe Pueblo

Gaming Regulatory Commission, may appeal the order to the Tribal Court, and the Tribal Court

shall have jurisdiction to consider and resolve such appeal. The Tribal Court shall affirm the

Page 37
order of the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission unless such order was entered in

violation of due process, was arbitrary or capricious, or was otherwise in contravention of

applicable law. The Tribal Court may reverse, vacate, or modii~ the order of the San Felipe

Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission if the Tribal Court determines that the order was

unlawful. In reaching its decision, the Tribal Court shall consider only such evidence relating to

the order from which appeal is taken as appears in the records of the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming

Regulatory Commission and was available to the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory

Commission at the time of its decision. Any reversal or modification of the San Felipe Pueblo

exercise of criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians except to the extent allowed by any applicable

present or future Act of Congress or any applicable federal court decision.

B. Tribal Court Jurisdiction. Except as otherwise provided in this Gaming Ordinance,

the Tribal Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters concerning the administration

and enforcement of this Gaming Ordinance; provided, however, that the Tribal Court shall defer

the exercise of its jurisdiction until any applicable administrative remedies have been exhausted,

and provided further that nothing in this Gaming Ordinance is intended nor shall it be interpreted

to preclude prosecution in f~deral court pursuant to the IGRA, as it may be amended from time

to time, any regulations promulgated thereunder, any other applicable federal or tribal law, or

Page 40
prosecution in state court pursuant to an effective memorandum of understanding with the

District Attorney for the Thirteenth Judicial District pursuant to the terms of the Tribal-State

C. Enforcement of San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission Subpoenas. If a

person subpoenaed to attend or to produce books, accounts, records, or other documents in any

investigation or hearing conducted by the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission

fulls to obey the command of the subpoena without reasonable cause, or if a person in attendance

at any hearing or investigation refuses, without lawful cause, to be examined, to answer a legal

and pertinent question, or to exhibit any book, account, record, or other document when ordered

to do so by the representative of the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission

conducting such investigation or hearing, the San Felipe Pueblo Gaming Regulatory Commission

may apply to the Tribal Court for an order directing the person to show cause why he should not

comply with such subpoena. For purposes of this Gaming Ordinance, if granted immunity by the

Commission or the Tribal Court in writing no person shall be excused from testifying or

producing any books, accounts, records, or other documents in any investigation or hearing on

the ground that such testimony or documentary evidence may tend to incriminate him or her.

Immunity means that a person shall not be prosecuted, punished, and/or subjected to penalty or

forfeiture resulting from such testimony or production (or shall be subjected to an agreed-upon

lesser punishment), provided that no person shall be exempt from prosecution or punishment for

committing perjury under a grant of immunity.
