David Jeswald v. Massachusetts Department of State Police (SPR 20210161)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records February 4, 2021 SPR21/0161 Jennifer M. Staples, Esq. Department of State Police General Headquarters 470 Worcester Road Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Attorney Staples: I have received the petition of David Jeswald 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). Mr. Jeswald requested several categories of records within the possession of the Department. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Jeswald 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 Mr. Jeswald’s request with a response sent on January 27, 2021. 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. Mr. Jeswald 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: David Jeswald Christine M. Dowling, Esq.
