The above-captioned matter was heard as a contested case on May 21, 2009, at which time the complainant and the respondents appeared and presented limited testimony, exhibits and argument on the complaint (the “May 21 hearing”).  The complainant, who is incarcerated, appeared via teleconference, pursuant to the January 2004 memorandum of understanding between the Commission and the Department of Correction.  See Docket No. CV 03-0826293, Anthony Sinchak v.

A Report of Hearing Officer was issued on June 9, 2009, in the above-captioned matter.  The Commission considered such report at its special meeting on July 1, 2009.  At such meeting, the respondents requested that the Commission reopen the hearing to permit them to offer additional evidence into the record in support of their claimed exemptions to the disclosure of the records at issue.  A hearing on remand was conducted on September 17, 2009, at which time the complainant and the respondents appeared, and presented testimony and argument on the complaint (the “September 17 hearing”).
