AG.
IMB2:ked me to take a look at this for you.
| have looked to see if our office has offered any written advice on NRS 463.120 and.3407 in the context
ofa licensee using those provisions to prevent disclosure of documents in their possession which have
been provides to the Board, However, | have not located anything. | will check with I when Il
returns to work next week.
‘As | understand the Sands’ position, itis arguing against having to produce to Jacobs 2 categories of
Information: 1) correspondence made to the Board perhaps as a result of an inquiry from the Board to
the licensee — the Sands argues that the information provided to the Board is confidential under 463.120
and “absolutely privileged” pursuant to NRS 463.3407; and 2) information provided to federal
investigative agencies and the Board arguably acting in a concurrent or collaborative investigation ~ the
Sands argues those documents are also cloaked with privilege and confidentiality and the Sands should
‘not have to produce them to Jacobs. Although | haven't fully analyzed this issue, my sense is that the
Sands’ arguments are unlikely to succeed and Judge Gonzalez has indicated as much. Everyone
anticipates an appeal of the issue to the Supreme Court.
As pointed out to me by III the Sands argument, if successful, may be helpful to the Board so
that full and frank disclosures are more readily made to the Board, However, to the extent you are
considering having the Board appear in this litigation, | would advise. against it. If the Sands is ultimately
‘successful with its arguments, | don’t believe that the Board’s long-standing position and interpretation
of the law (that documents/information in the Board’s Possession are confidential and/or privileged and
litigants are precluded from seeking such information from the Board) will be diminished. If that were
the ultimate conclusion, it is likely only to further encourage licensees to provide information to the
Board. On the flip-side, if the Sands is not ultimately successful, there is similarly no detriment to the
Board. Also, avoiding involvement in this litigation would be consistent with the Board’s historical
Practice when it comes to 3" party litigation.
Of course, if you want further analysis on this matter, please let me know.

|'m not sure if we have any AGOs on the following question: While information provided to the GCB and
other entities is protected as to obtaining it from the GCB, does that mean it is forever protected simply
because it has been given to the GCB? | see where the judge is going here, and frankly, she may be
correct.
|n other words, if a company provides info to the GCB only, no one else will ever see it. But ifit is sent to
the GCB and four other agencies, one can obtain it from the other agencies without a violation of the
NRS?
Take @ look [land let me know your thoughts.
