Sean P. Murphy v. Arlington, Town of - Clerk's Office (SPR 20221542)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records July 6, 2022 SPR22/1542 Adam Chapdelaine Town Manager Town of Arlington 730 Massachusetts Avenue Annex Arlington, MA 02476 Dear Mr. Chapdelaine: I have received the petition of Attorney Sean P. Murphy, of Scafidi Juliano, LLP, on behalf of his client, Ina Hodes, appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Arlington (Town) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On June 16, 2022, Ms. Hodes requested a “…building inspector’s report from inspection by [named individual]…on May 11, 2022.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Attorney Murphy petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1542, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided a response to Attorney Murphy on July 5, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Attorney Murphy may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, 1 ./ (A J J I { I J U,C~ ,~O ,. ~·~ ·· o a _ Rebecca S.
