See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 24, 2023, Mr. Wallack requested “…an electronic list of cases the Office has prosecuted since January 1, 2010, including all publicly available columns/fields.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Wallack petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0379, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the Office has provided a response. Accordingly, the Office is ordered to provide Mr. Wallack with a response to his request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of the response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Wallack may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
