Caitlyn Russell v. Lowell, City of - Law Department (SPR 20211448)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 22, 2021 SPR21/1448 Stacie M. Moeser, Esq. City of Lowell Law Department 375 Merrimack Street, 3rd Floor Lowell, MA 01852 Dear Attorney Moeser: I have received the petition of Caitlyn Russell appealing the nonresponse of the City of Lowell (City) to her request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Russell requested several records relating to an incident that occurred in December of 2020. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Russell petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City responded to Ms. Russell’s request with a response sent on June 21, 2021. Where 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. Ms. Russell 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: Caitlyn Russell Jackie Cook, Lowell Police Department 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
