The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 23, 2022 SPR22/1390 James Flynn Captain of Administration Lynn Police Department 300 Washington Street Lynn, MA 01902 Dear Captain Flynn: I have received the petition of William J. Nadworny appealing the nonresponse of the Lynn 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 May 7, 2022, Mr. Nadworny requested “…all reports, letters, opinions, notes, and documents maintained under the jurisdiction of the Department’s records department and/or Department’s records archives stored in the files” of an identified individual. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Nadworny petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1390, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided a response on May 17, 2022 to Mr. Nadworny. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Nadworny 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: William J.
