The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard
as a contested case on October 4, 2000, at which time the respondent appeared
but the complainant failed to appear. For
the purposes of hearing, the above-caption complaint was consolidated with
docket #s FIC2000-378, Evelyn V. Russo v. Charter Revision Commission, City
of Middletown; FIC 2000-379, V. James Russo v. Charter Revision
Commission, City of Middletown; FIC2000-380, Joseph E. Milardo, Jr. v.
Charter Revision Commission, City of Middletown; FIC2000-382, Andrew
Rak v. Charter Revision Commission, City of Middletown; and FIC 2000-384, John
S. Uccello v. Charter Revision Commission, City of Middletown.
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, with prejudice, for failure to prosecute.
2. The Commission takes notice of the facts set forth in paragraph 2 of docket #s FIC 2000-378, FIC 2000-379, FIC 2000-380 and that the complainant’s appeal in this matter is almost identical to the appeals in those cases. The Commission strongly admonishes the complainant for his failure to notify the Commission that he did not intend to prosecute his complaint, which failure resulted in the waste of valuable and scarce state resources.
Approved by Order of the Freedom of Information Commission at its regular meeting of February 28, 2001.
