The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard as a contested case on 
April 30, 1998, at which time the complainant and the respondents appeared in order to 
present testimony and argument on the complaint. 

	At an informal conference prior to the April 30, 1998 hearing, the complainant 
and the respondents reached the terms of an agreement in resolution of this contested 
case, wherein the parties agreed that the respondents had provided, with a March 11, 1998 
letter in response to the complainant’s request, information concerning the amount of 
certain legal expenses incurred, and also that the respondents agreed to disclose 
information in the same format in response to similar requests in the future. Based upon 
this agreement, the complainant informed the Commission that he wished to withdraw his 
complaint.

	The Commission warmly commends both the complainant and the respondents 
for working successfully to negotiate a non-litigated settlement of their earlier Freedom 
of Information differences.

	The following order by the Commission is hereby recommended on the basis of 
the record concerning the above-captioned complaint:

	1.  The complaint is hereby dismissed.

	Approved by Order of the Freedom of Information Commission at its regular 
meeting of June 10, 1998.
