Stevan Johnson v. Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (SPR 20201754)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records October 1, 2020 SPR20/1754 Theresa A. Lepore Deputy Clerk of the Commission & Records Access Officer Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination One Ashburton Place, 6th Floor Boston, MA 02108 Dear Ms. Lepore: I have received the petition of Stevan Johnson appealing the nonresponse of the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (Commission) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Johnson requested several categories of records within the possession of the Commission. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Johnson petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the request for an appeal, I learned that the Commission responded to Mr. Johnson’s request with a response sent on September 30, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Commission’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Johnson may appeal the substantive nature of the Commission’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Stevan Johnson 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
