Jackson, Chair USFSA Ethics Committee CONFIDENTIAL Re: Craig J, Maurizi Grievance Statement Dated April 21, 1999 - Richard Callaghan Dear Jon: This is in response to your letter dated May 24, 1999 regarding Mr. Mauriai’s Grievance We have now had the opportunity to review and consider the Grievance Statement and supporting documentation which you provided in order to evaluate whether to refer the matter to you for initiation of disciplinary proceedings against Mr. Callaghan in accordance with Section 3 b)(i) of USFSA Bylaw Article XXVI In doing so, we have also conferred with the other two USFSA Vice Presidents. ‘The Grievance Statement alleges conduct which Mr, Maurizi claims last occurred some fourteen (14) years ago, including approximately four (4) years of conduct which he acknowledges continued after he reached the age of majority. We believe that Mr. Maurizi’s claims and request for action by the USFSA are untimely and barred for a variety of reasons, both legal end equitable, pertaining principally to delay and limitation of actions. Therefore, after cerefil review and consideration of the allegations and information contained in the Grievance Statement, we have decided that itis not appropriate to refer this matter to the Chair of the Ethics Committee for the USFSA to initiate disciplinary proceedings and we request that you so inform Mr, Maurizi, Sincerely, James w-Disbrow President IJwDicb PUBLISHERS OF SKATING MAGAZINE
