Jeff Brown v. Lynn, City of - Office of the City Solicitor (SPR 20222267)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records October 7, 2022 SPR22/2267 James P. Lamanna, Esq. Assistant City Solicitor Records Access Officer City of Lynn 3 City Hall Square, Room 406 Lynn, MA 01901 Dear Attorney Lamanna: I have received the petition of Jeff Brown appealing the nonresponse of the City of Lynn (City) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 19, 2022, Mr. Brown requested “…any and all documents pertaining [to] DCR’s role in helping Greenbelt obtain Conservation Restrictions at Lynn Woods.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Brown petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2267, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided Mr. Brown with a response dated October 7, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Brown may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Jeff Brown 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
