The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records January 8, 2018 SPR18/010 Kate M. Silvia Records Access Officer Department of Correction 50 Maple Street, Suite #3 Milford, MA O1 7 57 Dear Ms. Silvia: I have received the petition of John Murphy appealing the response of the Department of Correction (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). Specifically, Mr. Murphy requested information related to a "reclassification" report. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, despite two previous appeals, Mr. Murphy petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that a representative from the Department had provided a supplemental response to Mr. Murphy. According to an agent from the Department, Mr. Murphy has responded noting that he has received the correct records. As such, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. 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
