The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records January 24, 2023 SPR23/0033 Samuel Miller Department of State Police – Crime Laboratory 124 Acton Street Maynard, MA 01754 Dear Mr. Miller, I have received the petition of Gerard Sullivan appealing the nonresponse of the Department of State Police Crime Laboratory (Crime Lab) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On December 2, 2022, Mr. Sullivan requested all files related to an identified court case. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Sullivan petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0033, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Crime Lab provided a response to Mr. Sullivan on January 11, 2023. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Crime Lab’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Sullivan may appeal the substantive nature of the Crime Lab’s January 11th response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Gerard Sullivan 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
