Jia Liu v. Boston, City of - Public Records (SPR 20202590)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records January 5, 2021 SPR20/2590 Shawn A. Williams, Esq. Director of Public Records City of Boston 1 City Hall Plaza, Room 615 Boston, MA 02201 Dear Attorney Williams: I have received the petition of Jia Liu appealing the nonresponse of the City of Boston (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Jia Liu requested several categories of records within the possession of the City. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Jia Liu petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the request for an appeal, I learned that the City responded to Jia Liu’s request with a response sent on December 29, 2020 seeking more clarity on the records sought. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Jia Liu may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Jia Liu 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
