Cogliano, Esq. Assistant City Solicitor Law Department City of Brockton 45 School Street - City Hall Brockton, MA 02301 Dear Attorney Cogliano: I have received the petition of Sean Hempseed appealing the nonresponse of the City of Brockton (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On October 12, 2021, Mr. Hempseed requested all of the Mayor’s Facebook posts while Mayor of Brockton. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Hempseed petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/2921, was opened as a result. Subsequently, the City provided a supplemental response on November 17, 2021. In light of this supplemental response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Hempseed may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s November 17th response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
