Ms. Agapi Koulouris, Esq.

Department of Criminal Justice Information Services 200 Arlington Street

Suite #2200

Chelsea, MA 02150

Dear Attorney Koulouris:

I have received the petition of Lindsay M.K. Custer appealing the nonresponse of the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32,08(1). Specifically, on January 24, 2020, Ms. Custer requested records within the Department regarding “a complete list of the types and categories of information that the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services (DCJIS) tracks in its online system.” Ms. Custer additionally states that she is “not requesting any particularized information about any individual or entity.”

Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Custer petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR20/0469, was opened as a result.

Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the Department intends on providing a response. Accordingly, the Department is to provide Ms. Custer with said response as soon as practicable. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Ms. Custer may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.MLR. 32.08(1).

Ofeven
