The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records August 15, 2023 SPR23/1790 Brian Lewos Chief of Police Millbury Police Department 127 Elm Street Millbury, MA 01527 Dear Chief Lewos: I have received the petition of Patrick Mason appealing the nonresponse of the Millbury Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 18, 2023, Mr. Mason requested records pertaining to crash report 23-133-AC. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Mason petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/1790, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided a response to Mr. Mason on August 8, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Mason may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Patrick Mason 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
