Craig P. Shibley v. Massachusetts State Police (SPR 20220791)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records April 19, 2022 SPR22/0791 Allison Mondello Records Access Officer Massachusetts State Police 470 Worcester Road Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Ms. Mondello: I have received the petition of Craig Shibley appealing the response of the Massachusetts State Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 21, 2022 and March 18, 2022, respectively, Mr. Shibley requested, “a copy of Case Master 2012-115-0065 (closed case)” and numerous categories of records relating to the investigation in Case Master 2012-115-0065. Previous Appeal The records sought by Mr. Shibley were the subject of a previous appeal. See SPR22/0654 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (March 31, 2022). There, I found that it was unclear whether the Department possessed additional records. The Department provided a supplemental response on April 1, 2022. Unsatisfied with the substantive nature of the Department’s response, Mr. Shibley petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0791, was opened as a result. In a conversation with a staff attorney in the Public Records Division, the Department indicated that it would provide a supplemental response. Accordingly, the Department is ordered to provide Mr. Shibley with a response in accordance with the Public Records Law, its Regulations, and this order within ten business days. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Shibley may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s subsequent response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
