The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records March 2, 2020 SPR20/0399 Chief Michael L, Lyle Melrose Police Department 56 West Foster Street Melrose, MA 02176 Dear Chief Lyle: I have received the petition of Jamie Truman of Critical MA News appealing the nonresponse of the Melrose Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Jamie Truman requested “lists of all accounts blocked by any official Melrose Police Department social media account.” 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 Jamie Truman’s request with a response sent on February 27, 2020. 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.LR. 32.08(1). Sincerely, fbeceo. . Rebecca 8.
