State of
Connecticut Division of Parole,

The above-captioned matter was heard
as a contested case on July 10, 1986, at which time the complainant and the
respondent appeared and presented testimony, exhibits and argument on the
complaint.
After consideration of the entire
matter, the following facts are found:

respondent is a public agency within the meaning of 1-18a(a), G.S.
2. By
letter of complaint filed with the Commission on June 5, 1986 the complainant
alleged that the respondent had denied him access to records concerning Michael
Denby, who had been arrested and prosecuted in connection with the death of the
complainant's brother.
3. It
is found that Michael Denby was never within the jurisdiction of Hartford's
division of parole and that, consequently, the respondent has no records
relating to Mr. Denby.
4. It
is concluded that the respondent did not deny the complainant access to any
public records within the meaning of 1-18a(d), G.S.
The following order by the
