Hearing officer grants one‑week extension in Thompson appeal; warns no further extensions
Loading...
Summary
The Department of Government Records granted a one‑week continuance for appeal 2025‑074 (Krisha Thompson v. Royce City Police Department) because the appellant was not present; the officer said no additional extensions will be allowed and the case will be heard next Thursday with or without the appellant.
At the start of the session the hearing officer called appeal 2025‑074 (Krisha Thompson v. Royce City Police Department). Mr. Wilson appeared for Royce City; Ms. Thompson was not present and had requested a one‑week extension. The hearing officer asked whether granting another week would be burdensome for the respondent. Mr. Wilson said he had no position and deferred to Director Pearson.
The hearing officer granted the requested one‑week extension but made a point of limiting further continuances: "I will say for the record that there won't be any more extensions and we will certainly be hearing this, at next Thursday's hearings, with or without, whoever's here," the officer said. The officer apologized for the inconvenience to the respondent and scheduled the case for the next hearing date.
This item was procedural: no evidence was taken and no merits decision was made on the underlying records dispute. The extension simply moved the matter to the next scheduled hearing date.
