The state Supreme Court has declined to hear a Penn State alumnus' bid to access documents related to the Freeh report that had been received by the former Pennsylvania secretary of education.

The justices denied allocatur in Bagwell v. Pennsylvania Department of Education on Wednesday. The denial lets stand the Commonwealth Court's decision from October denying Ryan Bagwell's Right-to-Know Law request.

On Oct. 31, a five-judge panel of the Commonwealth Court denied Bagwell's request seeking documents that Louis Freeh and several Penn State trustees sent to former Education Secretary Ron Tomalis and his assistant between November 2011 and July 2013.
