The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S, Murray Supervisor of Records 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 cc: Jamie Truman 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
