The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords December 14, 2017 SPR17/1703 Patricia Klash Souza Baranowski Correctional Center 1 Harvard Road, P.O. Box 8000 Shirley, MA 01464 Dear Ms. Klash: I have received the petition of John Murphy appealing the nonresponse of the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center (Correctional Center) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Murphy requested a particular document pertaining to his August, 2017 classification. Having received no response, Mr. Murphy petitioned this office. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division staff, this office was notified that a response was provided by the Correctional Center. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Correctional Center's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Murphy may appeal the substantive nature of the Correctional Center's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: John Murphy 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
