The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard as a contested case on May 11 and June 29, 1999, at which times the complainant and the respondents appeared in order to present testimony and argument on the complaint.

        At an informal conference prior to the June 29, 1999 hearing, the complainant and the respondents agreed to settle this contested case. Accordingly, based upon the complainant’s review of the records that were furnished to him by the respondents at the May 11, 1999 conference, the complainant informed the Commission that he wished to withdraw his 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
