The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records December 9, 2022 SPR22/2784 Kayla M. Johnson, Esq. Assistant District Attorney Appeals Division Essex County District Attorney’s Office 10 Federal Street Salem, MA 01970 Dear Attorney Johnson: I have received the petition of Colman Herman appealing the response of the Essex County District Attorney’s Office (Office) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66 § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On November 5, 2022, Mr. Herman requested, “[r]ecords of all the expenses [a named individual] has incurred … for the period October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022.” The Office responded on November 8, 2022. Unsatisfied with the Office’s response, Mr. Herman petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2784, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided a further response on December 9, 2022. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s November 8th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Herman may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s December 9th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Colman Herman 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
