OPINION

BEDSWORTH, Acting P.J.

The doctrine requiring exhaustion of internal remedies before resort to the courts is sound and wise — where such remedies are adequate. Sometimes, however, they are not. Where, as here, the "internal remedies" included no requirement of a hearing or formal resolution of the complaints raised, they cannot bar access to the courts.
