Alan R. Gaudreau v. Bristol County District Attorney's Office (SPR 20200818)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 4, 2020 SPR20/0818 Mary Lee, Esq. Assistant District Attorney Office of the District Attorney – Bristol District 868 Purchase Street, P.O. Box 973 New Bedford, MA 02740 Dear Attorney Lee: I have received the petition of Alan R. Gaudreau appealing the response of the Office of the District Attorney – Bristol District (DAO) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Gaudreau requested three categories of records, including information related to “candidate” or employee positions, as well as any communications between DAO employees and the Probation Department that include his name or criminal docket number. Previous Determination This request was the subject of a previous determination. See SPR20/0712 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (May 14, 2020). In my May 14th determination, I found the DAO provided a supplemental response dated May 4, 2020. Unsatisfied with the DAO’s response, Mr. Gaudreau petitioned this office and SPR20/0818 was opened as a result. Conclusion Subsequent to the opening of the appeal, the DAO provided a supplemental response on May 26, 2020. Whereas the DAO has sent Mr. Gaudreau a supplemental response addressing his appeal, I will consider this appeal closed. Mr. Gaudreau may appeal the substantive nature of the DAO’s May 26th response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
