The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records March 9, 2021 SPR20/0561 Seah Levy Public Records Access Officer City of Cambridge, Law Department City Hall, 795 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 Dear Ms. Levy, I have received the petition of James Crowley appealing the nonresponse of the City of Cambridge (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Crowley requested copies of filings against both the City and Police Department. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Crowley 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 Mr. Crowley’s request with a response sent on March 8, 2021. 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. Mr. Crowley 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: James Crowley 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
