The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords June 29, 2017 SPR17/856 Jennifer Markham Department of Correction MCI Cedar Junction 2450 Main St Walpole, MA 02081 Dear Ms. Markham: I have received the petition of Mr. Murray appealing the nonresponse of the Department of Correction MCI Cedar Junction (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66 § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Murray requested "all emails sent and received by CPO Patrick Toolin on 6/7/17, all emails sent and received by Deputy Lynds on 6/7/17, all emails sent and received by Director Jen Markham on 6/7/17, all emails sent and received by Supt. Rodrigues on 6/7117, all emails sent and received by deputy Kennedy on 6/7/17." Mr. Murray is also requesting "all confidential reports written by Amanda Sulham, Jen Markham, Supt. Rodrigues and Deputy Lynds and Patrick Toolin on 6/7/17." Having received no response, Mr. Murray petitioned this office. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division staff, I learned that a representative from the Department, in conjunction with agents of the Department, intend on providing Mr. Murray with a response to his appeal. Accordingly, I will consider this administrative appeal closed with the proviso that the Department provides Mr. Murray with a response without delay. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Murray may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: William Murray One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
