Michael W. Berger v. Brockton, City of (SPR 20222485)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records November 16, 2022 SPR22/2485 Timothy J. Cruise City Clerk City of Brockton 45 School Street Brockton, MA 02301 Dear Mr. Cruise: I have received the petition of Michael Berger appealing the nonresponse of the City of Brockton (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On October 17, 2022, Mr. Berger requested all insurance policy documentation used to insure the Brockton Police Department including its vehicles during a specific time period. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Berger petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2485, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided Mr. Berger with a response dated November 2, 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. Berger has appealed the City’s November 2nd response which is in the process of being opened as a new appeal. Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Michael Berger 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
