Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court September 20, 1983 (Craven v. State Ethics Commission)

O’Connor, J.

The plaintiff, James J. Craven, Jr., appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court which affirmed a decision of the State Ethics Commission (commission). The commission had found that the plaintiff violated certain provisions of the conflict of interest law, G. L. c. 268A, and had assessed a civil penalty of $1,000. We transferred the case to this court on our own motion.
