2020 Mississippi Code|Title 75 - Regulation of Trade, Commerce and Investments|Chapter 76 - Mississippi Gaming Control Act|Disciplinary Actions|§ 75-76-107. Requirements of complaint; service of complaint upon respondent; answer of respondent; failure to answer or appear; time and place of hearing; notice

  The complaint referred to in this chapter must be a written statement of charges which must set forth in ordinary and concise language the acts or omissions with which the respondent is charged. It must specify the statutes and regulations which the respondent is alleged to have violated but shall not consist merely of charges raised in the language of the statutes or regulations.   Upon the filing of the complaint, the executive director shall serve a copy of the complaint upon the respondent either personally or by registered or certified mail at his address on file with the executive director.   Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, the respondent must answer within twenty (20) days after the service of the complaint. In his answer the respondent:   Must state in short and plain terms his defenses to each claim asserted.   Must admit or deny the facts alleged in the complaint.   Must state with respect to which allegations he is without such knowledge or information as to form a belief concerning their truth. Such allegations shall be deemed denied.   Must affirmatively set forth any matter which constitutes an avoidance or affirmative defense.   May demand a hearing. Failure to demand a hearing constitutes a waiver of the right to a hearing and to judicial review of any decision or order of the commission, but the commission may order a hearing even if the respondent so waives his right.     Failure to answer or to appear at the hearing constitutes an admission by the respondent of all facts alleged in the complaint. The commission may take action based on such an admission and on other evidence without further notice to the respondent. If the commission takes action based on such an admission, it shall include in the record which evidence was the basis for the action.   The commission shall determine the time and place of the hearing as soon as is reasonably practical after receiving the respondent's answer. The executive director shall deliver or send by registered or certified mail a notice of hearing to all parties at least ten (10) days before the hearing.

Fees, subsistence and transportation expenses must be paid by the party at whose request the witness is subpoenaed. The commission may award as costs the amount of all such expenses to the prevailing party.

The court shall thereupon issue an order directing the person to appear before the court and show cause why he should not be punished as for contempt. The court order and a copy of the statement of the commission must be served on the person cited to appear. Thereafter the court has jurisdiction of the matter, and the same proceedings must be had, the same penalties may be imposed and the person charged may purge himself of the contempt in the same way as in the case of a person who has committed a contempt in the trial of a civil action before a circuit court.

After hearing, the commission may reverse, modify or affirm the hearing examiner's decision. If the commission decides not to review the hearing examiner's decision and recommendation within thirty (30) days of the hearing examiner's decision, that decision shall become the final order of the commission.

  Any person aggrieved by a final decision or order of the commission may obtain a judicial review thereof in the circuit court of the county in which the petitioner resides or has his or its principal place of business.

The petition must set forth the order or decision appealed from and the grounds or reasons why petitioner contends a reversal or modification should be ordered.   Copies of the petition must be served upon the executive director and all other parties of record, or their counsel of record, either personally or by certified mail.   The court, upon a proper showing, may permit other interested persons to intervene as parties to the appeal or as friends of the court.

Motion requesting taking of additional evidence by commission; modification of decision or order by commission; standard of review; grounds for reversing decision or order of commission

  The reviewing court may, upon motion therefor, order that additional evidence in the case be taken by the commission upon such terms and conditions as the court may deem just and proper. The motion must not be granted except upon a showing that the additional evidence is material and necessary and that sufficient reason existed for failure to present the evidence before the hearing examiner or the commission. The motion must be supported by an affidavit of the moving party or his counsel showing with particularity the materiality and necessity of the additional evidence and the reason why it was not introduced in the administrative hearing. Rebuttal evidence to the additional evidence must be permitted. In cases in which additional evidence is presented, the commission may modify its decisions and orders as the additional evidence may warrant and shall file with the reviewing court a transcript of the additional evidence together with any modifications of the decision and order, all of which become a part of the record on review.   The review must be conducted by the court sitting without a jury, and must not be a trial de novo but is confined to the record on review.   The reviewing court may affirm the decision and order of the commission, or it may remand the case for further proceedings or reverse the decision if the substantial rights of the petitioner have been prejudiced because the decision is:   In violation of constitutional provisions;   In excess of the statutory authority or jurisdiction of the commission;   Made upon unlawful procedure;   Unsupported by any evidence; or   Arbitrary or capricious or otherwise not in accordance with law.

The Supreme Court shall follow the same procedure thereafter as in appeals in civil actions and may affirm, reverse or modify the decision as the record and law warrant.   The judicial review by the circuit and Supreme Courts afforded in this chapter is the exclusive method of review of the commission's actions, decisions and orders in disciplinary hearings. Judicial review is not available for actions, decisions and orders of the commission relating to the denial of a license or to limited or conditional licenses. Extraordinary common law writs or equitable proceedings are available except where statutory judicial review is made exclusive or is precluded or where the use of those writs or proceedings is precluded by specific statute.
