Jesus Leyva v. Greenfield, City of - City Clerk (SPR 20222422)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records November 7, 2022 SPR22/2422 Kathryn J. Scott Greenfield City Clerk City of Greenfield 14 Court Square Greenfield, MA 01301 Dear Ms. Scott: I have received the petition of Jesus Leyva appealing the response of the City of Greenfield (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 29, 2022, Mr. Leyva requested “…the final investigative reports from all Greenfield Police Department internal affairs investigations, initiated or in process after January 1, 2012, until the present date, September 29, 2022.” On October 12, 2022, the City responded. Unsatisfied with the City’s response, Mr. Leyva petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2422, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department responded to Mr. Leyva’s request with a further response sent on November 1, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s October 12th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Leyva may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Jesus Leyva 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
