Synopsis The record indicates that Respondent defaulted, and has acknowledged that it has no statutorily accepted excuses for its default. Since Grievant prevailed on the merits by default, the sole issue is whether the remedy sought by Grievant is contrary to law or contrary to proper and available remedies. The Respondent has the burden of proving this affirmative defense by a preponderance of the evidence. Grievant stipulated that the sole item of relief now sought is a copy of report of an investigation conducted regarding Grievant. Since the suspension and investigation were matters of discipline, the report of investigation should have been part of Grievant’s personnel file pursuant to Respondent’s applicable policy. The request for this report is not is contrary to law or contrary to proper and available remedies.
