Dear Mr. Harvey:
I am writing in response to your February 13, 2013 request under the Utah Government Records
Access and Management Act (GRAMA) for:
[A]ny and all correspondence, documents or notes or related materials in and around this time frame
related to the question of processing online poker payments in Utah. Since this was official business,
please include items from these email accounts: [email protected],[email protected], [email protected] and any other accounts that may have been
used.
We have completed our search, and the documents that are responsive to your request are attached.We have determined that all of these documents are classified public in their entirety.
I want to provide you some information about how we have responded. We identified specificassistant attorneys general who would be most likely to have records responsive to your request: the
Assistant Attorney General who handles gambling questions, and the Assistant Attorney General who
represents banking regulators. As we have previously described to you, Mr. Swallow did not discuss thismatter with any assistant attorneys general so we did not request a response from other assistant attorneys
general.
We requested that Mr. Shurtleff review his personal email; he reported no documents responsive to
your request.
Attorney General Swallow also reviewed his personal email account and found no documentsresponsive to your request; the emails from his personal email accounts that you identified in your request
had not been retained. The copies of those emails that are being provided to you with this response were
obtained more recently indirectly from Jeremy Johnson himself. Referenced attachments were not includedand so have not been included with this response.

Government email accounts for Mr. Swallow and Mr. Shurtleff have been reviewed and
responsive documents are included with this response.
We have interpreted your request for records from in and around this time frame, to
mean records from one month on either side of the March 7 through July 5, 2010 period covered
in the emails you provided with your request. For that reason, we have not included records that
our office received from the FDIC and /or the agency regulating a bank where the FDIC
discussed their reluctance to allow the processing of online poker payments in a bank under their
regulatory authority. The oldest record related to that matter is dated October 2010. The records
are communications between an assistant attorney general, the agency she represents and the
FDIC. Although we are not denying access to these records at this time because we have not
interpreted your request to include them, please be aware that many of the records related to this
matter are protected since they involve bank closure. Again, these were communicationsinvolving an Assistant Attorney General, a federal agency and a state agency; there were no
related communications with either Mark Shurtleff or John Swallow.
Finally, because copyright is explicitly claimed and reproduction prohibited for two
studies regarding Texas HoldEm, we have not included those studies. These documents are not
records under Utah Code Ann. 63G-2-103(22)(b)(iv) and so are not responsive to your request.
We have included citations to the document at pp. 156 and 158 of this response, and you are also
welcome to contact me if you would like to review them.
As described above, we are providing access to all responsive records with this letter.
Sincerely,
Laura Lockhart
Assistant Attorney General
