The Maine Human Rights Commission on Jan. 5 agreed to reopen a previously adopted consent agenda to allow a late withdrawal after parties informed staff they had reached a private settlement in E23‑0472.
Barbara (staff) told commissioners the omission was an administrative error and that the parties had settled independently. Commissioners voted to reopen the consent agenda and then approved the withdrawal of E23‑0472; they then adopted the consent agenda as amended.
Commissioners said they consider late withdrawals on a case‑by‑case basis and will not generally interfere with parties’ settlement efforts when public interest is not implicated. Staff will send letters confirming the withdrawal and file the amended agenda.
