Olufunmilola Shelly v. Framingham, City of - Police Department (SPR 20221278)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 15, 2022 SPR22/1278 Marilia Martins Records Access Officer City of Framingham Police Department 150 Concord Street Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Ms. Martins: I have received the petition of Olufunmilola Shelly appealing the response of the City of Framingham Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On May 31, 2022, Ms. Shelly requested numerous records regarding an arrest. On June 1, 2022, the Department responded. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Ms. Shelly petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1278, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division staff attorney and a Department representative, it is my understanding that the Department intends on providing a subsequent response to Ms. Shelly. Accordingly, the Department is ordered to provide Ms. Shelly with a response to her request in a manner consistent with the Public Records Law and its Access Regulations within 10 business days. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Ms. Shelly may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Olufunmilola Shelly One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
