The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard as a contested case on May 
14, 1998, at which time the complainants indicated that they are not claiming that the 
respondent violated the Freedom of Information Act but instead are seeking guidance 
regarding the difference between “disciplinary” and “administrative” hearings.  At an 
informal conference the complainants and the respondent reached the terms of an 
agreement in resolution of the complaint, whereby the respondent agreed to provide the 
complainants with a copy of a recent Connecticut Appellate Court decision which appears 
to address the issues of concern to the complainants.  Based on the agreement reached by 
the parties, the complainants informed the Commission that they wished to withdraw the 
complaint.

	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.

	2.  The Commission commends the parties on having been able to successfully 
resolve their differences.

	Approved by Order of the Freedom of Information Commission at its regular 
meeting of July 8, 1998.
