The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records August 10, 2021 SPR21/1945 Patrick Lee, Esq. General Counsel Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department 24 Long Pond Road Plymouth, MA 02360 Dear Attorney Lee: I have received the petition of Todd Wallack of WBUR appealing the nonresponse of the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 8, 2021, Mr. Wallack requested the “… log of internal affairs complaints/investigations against sworn officers of the … Department …” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Wallack petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/1945 was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Wallack a response dated August 6, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Wallack may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Todd Wallack 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
