Allison Jarmanning v. Department of State Police - Office of the Chief Legal Counsel (SPR 20201106)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records July 14, 2020 SPR20/1106 Anthony Serra Staff Legal Counsel Office of Chief Legal Counsel Massachusetts State Police 470 Worcester Road Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Attorney Serra: I have received the petition of Ally Jarmanning appealing the nonresponse of the Department of State Police (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Jarmanning requested several categories of records within the possession of the Department. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Jarmanning petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the request for an appeal, I learned that the Department responded to Ms. Jarmanning’s request with a response dated July 10, 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. Jarmanning 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: Ally Jarmanning 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
