General Counsel Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department 24 Long Pond Road Plymouth, MA 02360 Dear Attorney Lee: I have received the petition of Steven L.

Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Smith with a further response dated May 1, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s April 18, 2023 response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Smith may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s May 1st response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Steven L.
