FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION
OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT

            The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard as a contested case on December 4, 2000 at 2:00 P.M., at which time the respondent 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 her 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 respondent, 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 January 14, 2004.
