FREEDOM OF INFORMATION COMMISSION
OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT

 

The above-captioned matter was consolidated for hearing with Docket # FIC 2008-129, also captioned Clark W. Stearns, First Selectman, Town of Scotland v. Superintendent of Schools, Regional School District 11. Both matters were scheduled for hearing as contested cases on June 26, 2008, at which time both the complainant and the respondent appeared and presented testimony and argument on the complaints. Following this process, the complainant informed the Commission that all remaining issues that he wished to pursue were set forth in the above captioned matter, and that he therefore wished to withdraw his complaint in Docket # FIC 2008-129.

 

The parties also agreed to enter into additional settlement negotiations concerning the above captioned matter following the June 26, 2008 hearing. A continued hearing was scheduled for July 16, 2008, in the event that the negotiations were not successful. On July 16, 2008, the complainant informed the Commission that he wished to withdraw his complaint in the above captioned matter.

 

The Commission takes administrative notice of the complainant’s withdrawal and recommends the following orders on the basis of the record:

 

1.      Based on the withdrawal of the complaint, the case is hereby dismissed.

 

2.  The Commission warmly commends the parties on having reached settlements in both of the consolidated matters without full adjudication.

 

Approved by Order of the Freedom of Information Commission at its regular meeting of August 27, 2008.
