EMERALD LAKE VILLAGE DISTRICT, ET AL.

ORDER ON MOTION TO DISMISS

On February 4, 2014, the Court held a hearing on defendants' Motion to Dismiss plaintiff's Right-To-Know petition, filed under RSA 91-A. Plaintiff appeared pro se; defendants appeared through their representative, James Coffey, and counsel. After hearing, the Court defers ruling on the motion, pending compliance with the parameters set forth by the Court at hearing. Specifically, the Court finds and rules as follows:

1. As a result of mistrust and accusations, the parties have not been willing to communicate cooperatively.

2. Defendants shall make available to plaintiff all records requested for the year 2013 for his review in defendants' offices. Defendants have already provided the most recent financial audit.

3. Plaintiff shall not exceed the scope RSA 91-A in his request for information. Defendants are not required to create additional records, [2] or to answer interrogatories, such as the ones plaintiff posed to defendants.

4. All parties shall interact professionally and cooperatively, in the spirit of RSA 91-A.

5. A further hearing shall be held in 30 days, at which time the Court will assess the parties' progress and rule on the Motion to Dismiss.

SO ORDERED.
