The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard as a contested
case on March 13, 2001 at 2:00 P.M., at which time the respondents appeared,
but the complainant did not.
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.
2. The Commission
admonishes the complainant for his failure to appear at the hearing in this
matter, which failure resulted in a waste of scarce state and municipal
resources.
3. In the event the
complainant files future complaints against the respondents, the executive
director may review such complaints, pursuant to §1-206(b)(2),
G.S., which provides that the executive director of the commission shall not
schedule an appeal for hearing without first seeking and obtaining leave of
the commission, if the director has reason to believe an appeal would
constitute an abuse of the commission's administrative process.
Approved by Order of the Freedom of Information Commission at its regular meeting of April 25, 2001.
