Assistant District Attorney Worcester County District Attorney’s Office Worcester Trial Court 225 Main Street, G301 Worcester, MA 01608 Dear Attorney Relation: I have received the petition of Allison Jarmanning, of WBUR, appealing the response of the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office (Office) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On October 28, 2021, Ms. Jarmanning requested an identified homicide investigative file. The Office provided a response on November 29, 2021, denying access to the responsive records pursuant to Exemption (f) of the Public Records Law. G. L. c. 4, § 7(26)(f). Unsatisfied with the Office’s response, Ms. Jarmanning petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/3130, was opened as a result. Subsequently, in an email correspondence dated December 7, 2021, this office was notified that a response, including responsive records, were provided to Ms. Jarmanning. Accordingly, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Jarmanning may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
