Allison Jarmanning v. Department of State Police (SPR 20221307)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 21, 2022 SPR22/1307 Allison Mondello Primary RAO Massachusetts State Police Office of the Chief Legal Counsel 50 Maple Street Milford, MA 01757 Dear Ms. Mondello: I have received the petition of Ally Jarmanning of WBUR appealing the nonresponse of the Massachusetts State Police (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On May 18, 2022, Ms. Jarmanning requested “…records pertaining to internal affairs or anti-corruption investigations, and any criminal investigations into the conduct” concerning an identified individual. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Jarmanning petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1307, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that a representative of the Department provided a response on June 7, 2022 to Ms. Jarmanning. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Jarmanning 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. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Ally Jarmanning Anthony F. Serra, Esq.
