Bodhisattva Skandha v. Department of Labor Standards (SPR 20190033)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords January 16, 2018 SPRlS/0033 Linda Jolicoeur Department of Correction MCI-Norfolk 2 Clark Street, P.O. Box 43 Norfolk, MA 02056 Dear Ms. Jolicoeur: I have received the petition of Bodhisattva Skandha appealing the nonresponse of the Department of Correction MCI-Norfolk (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Skandha requested last name, first name, and position "of all Department of Correction employees who work at MCI-Norfolk." Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Skandha 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 the proper agent for handling public record requests never saw the inquiry. Nonetheless, after the Department was made aware of this appeal, a representative within the Department noted their willingness to provide a response. Said response shall be made in accordance with the Public Records Law, its Access Regulations and this order within ten business days. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Skandha may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~ Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Bodhisattva Skandha 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
