Beth Healy v. Hampden County District Attorney's Office (SPR 20200327)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records February 27, 2020 SPR20/0327 Joseph A. Pieropan, Esq. Records Access Officer Hampden County District Attorney's Office 50 State Street Springfield, MA O1 i 02 Dear Attorney Pieropan: I have received the petition of Beth Healy of WBUR appealing the nonresponse of the Hampden County District Attorney's Office (Office) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on January 9t11, Ms. Healy requested investigative records related to a certain death. Claiming to not yet have received the requested records, Ms. Healy 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 Office provided Ms. Healy a response to her request on February 26, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Office's lack of response to Ms. Healy's request, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Healy may appeal the substantive nature of the Office's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Beth Healy 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
