The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records May 7, 2021 SPR21/1084 Captain Jim Flynn Lynn Police Department 300 Washington Street Lynn, MA 01902 Dear Captain Flynn: I have received the petition from Jim Haddadin of NBC10 Boston appealing the response of the Lynn Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 21, 2021, Mr. Haddadin requested, “…copies of any written notices issued to Lynn Police Department employees since April 1, 2021 that pertain to the initiation of internal affairs proceedings.” The Department responded on April 26, 2021. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Mr. Haddadin appealed and SPR21/1184 was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided a response on April 30, 2021. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the of the City’s April 26th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Haddadin may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
