Murray Supervisor of Records July 30, 2021 SPR21/1786 Chief Dennis Towle Town of Sutton Police Department 4 Uxbridge Road Sutton, MA 01590 Dear Chief Towle: I have received the petition of Mr. Joseph Hennessey, Esq. appealing the nonresponse of Town of Sutton Police Department (Department) to his request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Hennessey submitted a request for various records within the possession of the Department. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Hennessey petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequently, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated July 29, 2021. Where this matter was opened based upon the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Hennessey may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
