The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records March 15, 2023 SPR23/0402 Michele M. Heffernan, Esq. General Counsel Human Resources Division 100 Cambridge Street, Suite 600 Boston, MA 02114 Dear Attorney Heffernan: I have received the petition of Carolyn Wagner appealing the nonresponse of the Human Resources Division (Division) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On February 7, 2023, Ms. Wagner requested, “... public records that are mentioned in the conclusion section on the last page of the ... Secretary of State’s Appeal determination letter ... April 8, 2022 (SPR22/0391 - regarding a WBUR public records request).” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Wagner petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0402, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Division provided Ms. Wagner with a response dated March 2, 2023. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Division’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Wagner may appeal the substantive nature of the Division’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Carolyn Wagner 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
