Shibley, Craig v. Massachusetts District Attorneys Association (SPR 20140457)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Shawn A. Williams Supervisor ofR ecords September 26, 2014 SPR14/457 Ms. Tara Maguire Executive Director Massachusetts District Attorneys Association 1 Bulfinch Place, # 202 Boston, MA 02114 Dear Ms. Maguire: I have received the petition of Craig P. Shibley appealing the response of the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association (MDAA) to his request for public records. G. L. c. 66 § 1O (b ); see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(2). Specifically, Mr. Shibley requested "an electronic copy of the authorizing statute which created" the MDAA. In response you provided an attachment via email, as well as a link to a website with the responsive record. In his appeal Mr. Shibley questioned whether the statute you provided was the enabling statute. Mr. Shibley posits that the record provided "solely addresses the creation of the executive director position within the MDAA." In a telephone conversation with an attorney on my staff followed by an email from you dated September 25, 2014, you confirmed that the MDAA has no other records responsive to Mr. Shibley's request for copies of any statutes that created the MDAA. This office will reply upon the MDAA's response that it holds no further responsive records. See Konover Mgt. Corp. v. Planning Bd. Of Auburn, 32 Mass. App. Ct. 319, 326 (1992). Whereas the MDAA has provided all responsive records related to Mr. Shibley's request, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Supervisor of Records cc: Mr. Craig P.
