FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION
OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT

 

Prior to the hearing in this matter, the Commissioner, State of Connecticut, Department of Correction moved to intervene in this matter; such motion was granted.  The above-captioned matter was scheduled to be heard as a contested case on February 23, 2005, at which time the complainant, respondent and intervener appeared. 

 

The Commission notes that the complaint in this matter alleges that the respondent failed to comply with the Commission’s orders in Docket # FIC 2003-061; Anthony J. Sinchak v. Chief, Police Department, City of Waterbury.  The Commission also notes that its final decision in Docket #FIC2003-061 was appealed by the City of Waterbury and is pending before the Superior Court in Chief, Police Department, City of Waterbury v. Freedom of Information Commission, (CV-040526292-S). 

 

Accordingly, it is inappropriate for the Commission to consider the non-compliance complaint at issue herein.  In consideration of the foregoing, the complainant withdrew the complaint in this matter.   

 

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 for reaching a non-litigated settlement of this matter.
