The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division

Rebecca S. Murray

Supervisor of Records February 28, 2020 SPR20/0381

Lieutenant Marie Cleary

Records Access Officer

Wellesley Police Department

485 Washington Street

Wellesley, MA 02482

Dear Lieutenant Cleary:

I have received the petition of John D. Rousseau appealing the nonresponse of the Wellesley Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on February 1, 2020, Mr. Rousseau requested certain

police records.

Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Rousseau 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 Department provided Mr. Rousseau a response to his request dated February 27, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of response to Mr. Rousseau’s request, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Rousseau may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). )

Sincerely,

Rebecca S. Kbrecen Maur

Supervisor of Records
