The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard as a contested case on March 9, 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 March 9, 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 complainant continues to allege that the respondents violated the Freedom of Information Act, and the respondents continue to deny such a violation and also agree to continue to maintain compliance with the letter and the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act. Based upon this agreement, the complainant informed the Commission that she wished to withdraw her complaint.

        The Commission warmly commends both the complainant and the respondents for working successfully to negotiate a non-litigated settlement of their earlier 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 April 22, 1998.
