The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records November 19, 2019 SPR19/2237 Attorney Tara Miltimore Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office 3231 Main Street . P.O. Box 455 Barnstable, MA 02630 Dear Attorney Miltimore: I have received the petition of Gregory Smith appealing the nonresponse of the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office (DAO) to a request for public records. G. L. c: 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.MLR. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Smith requested “contact information” regarding a complete list of the official individual email addresses for all Assistant District Attorney employees at the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office. In addition, Mr. Smith requested additional records in this appeal including: a) A complete list of the official individual email addresses for all Cape & Islands ADAs. . b) Police training materials and all related documents as they are created and used concerning training sessions for the three year period going forward from September 23, 2019. c) Information concerning the identity of the ADA that represented the Commonwealth in a hearing related to Commonwealth v. Gregory Smith on Match 30, 2017. Unsatisfied with the nonresponse from the DAO, Mr. Smith petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. 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 Attorney Miltimore | SPR19/2237 Page 2 November 19, 2019 Previous Determination This request was the subject of a previous determination, SPR19/1933. See SPR19/1933 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (October 3, 2019). In the October 3, 2019 determination, “Mr. Smith sent a request to the DAO seeking records concerning ‘contact information.’” The DAO responded to Mr. Smith on August 28, 2019, Mr. Smith appealed the DAO’s response to this office on September 22, 2019. Conclusion Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned the DAO responded to the request in a letter dated on November 19, 2019. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the DAO’s lack of response to Mr. Smith’s request, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Smith may appeal the substantive nature of the DAO’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.LR. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Habteca Muna Supervisor of Records cc: Mr. Gregory Smith .
