Chief, South Windsor Police Department,
Town of South Windsor; and South Windsor
Police Department, Town of South Windsor,
Respondents October 28, 1998
	The above-captioned matter was heard as a contested case on June 2, 1998, 
at which time the complainant and the respondents appeared and presented testimony, 
exhibits and argument on the complaint. At the conclusion of the June 2, 1998 hearing, 
the hearing officer requested that the complainant submit to the Commission within seven 
days a copy of the report at issue in its redacted form, with red check marks added next to 
each redacted item that the complainant claimed to be subject to disclosure. The hearing 
officer also ordered the respondents to submit subsequently an unredacted copy of the 
relevant report for an in camera inspection, together with the required index indicating the 
claims of exemptions for each item which the complainant had claimed to be subject to 
disclosure.
	When the complainant failed to make the submission requested of her, the hearing 
officer on July 2, 1998 ordered both parties to file the relevant records with the 
Commission, on July 16, 1998 and July 30, 1998, respectively, and stated that failure of 
the complainant to make the first filing ordered may result in dismissal for failure to 
prosecute.
	The complainant still has not filed with the Commission the marked report first 
requested on June 2, 1998 and then, on July 2, 1998, ordered to be filed by July 16, 1998.
	 
	Therefore, 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 for failure to prosecute.
Approved by Order of the Freedom of Information Commission at its regular meeting of 
October 28, 1998.
