Murray Supervisor of Records August 12, 2021 SPR21/1980 Joseph Pieropan, Esq. Records Access Officer Hampden County District Attorney’s Office 50 State Street Springfield, MA 01102 Dear Attorney Pieropan: I have received the petition of Tyler Ingraham, Esq. appealing the response of the Hampden County District Attorney’s Office (DAO) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On June 17, 2021, Attorney Ingraham requested: digital copies of records pertaining to 58A hearings in the fiscal year FY2020 and for FY 2021 to date. Specifically, I am requesting a digital copy of each motion filed under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 276 §58A, and any attachments to said motions, by your office in the District Courts of Hampden County in FY2020 (July 1st 2019 to June 30th, 2020), and for FY2021through this date (July 1st, 2020 to June 17th, 2021). The DAO provided a response on July 13, 2021. Unsatisfied with the DAO’s response, Attorney Ingraham petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/1980, was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, the DAO provided a supplemental response on August 11, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was the July 13th response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. If issues remain unresolved, Attorney Ingraham may appeal the substantive nature of the DAO’s August 11th response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
