Maria Capomaccio v. Methuen, City of - Police Department (SPR 20213286)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records January 3, 2022 SPR21/3286 Brittany Getchell Court Liaison Methuen Police Department 90 Hampshire Street Methuen, MA 01844 Dear Ms. Getchell: I have received the petition of Maria Capomaccio appealing the nonresponse of the Methuen Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 27, 2021, Ms. Capomaccio requested a “… copy of an investigation pertaining to an incident dated July 4, 2020.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Capomaccio petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/3286, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a staff member of the Public Records Division and a representative of the Department, it is my understanding the Department provided a response dated December 22, 2021 to Ms. Capomaccio’s request. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Capomaccio may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, .' ,, , - ·• · . ~ Rebecca S.
