March 2, 2020 SPR20/0413

Susan McGrath

Newburyport Police Department 4 Green Street

Newburyport, MA 01950

Dear Ms. McGrath:

I have received the petition of Jamie Truman appealing the nonresponse of the City of Newburyport Police Department (Department) to a request for public records, G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Truman requested the blocked list of social media accounts maintained by the Department. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Truman 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 Ms. Truman’s request with a response sent on March 2, 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. Ms. Truman 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. Murray

Supervisor of Records
