The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records May 11, 2021 SPR21/1109 Lori Cook Records Clerk Somerville Police Department 220 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 Dear Ms. Cook: I have received the petition of Laura McGarry appealing the response of the Somerville 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 7, 2021, Ms. McGarry requested “[i]ncident report(s)” with the dates of January 25, 2021 and March 18, 2021. The Department provided a response on April 9, 2021. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Ms. McGarry petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/1109, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned on May 5, 2021 that the Department provided Ms. McGarry with requested records. In light of this response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. McGarry may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s May 5th response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Laura J.
