The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records March 5, 2020 SPR20/0382 Chief Robert Wilson Leicester Fire Department 3 Paxton Street Leicester, MA 01524 Dear Chief Wilson: I have received the petition of John D. Rousseau appealing the nonresponse of the Leicester Fire Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Rousseau requested "a list of or any actual reports associated with myself." Claiming to not yet have received a response, the requestor 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 responded to Mr. Rousseau's request. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department's lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. The requestor may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~u~ Supervisor of Records cc: John D. Rousseau 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
