Amy L. Codagnone, Esq. v. Lawrence, City of - Police Department (SPR 20231868)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records August 23, 2023 SPR23/1868 Officer Mark Panagiotakos Keeper of the Records/Records Access Officer Lawrence Police Department 90 Lowell Street Lawrence, MA 01840 Dear Officer Panagiotakos: I have received the petition of Amy Codagnone, Esq. appealing the nonresponse of the Lawrence 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 May 26, 2023, Attorney Codagnone requested the following records: [1.] Any and all records including witness statements given in connection with any investigation of criminal activity of [an identified individual]; [2.] Any and all records containing references to [an identified individual]; [3.] Any and all correspondence to, from, or referencing [an identified individual]; [4.] Any and all reports or records pertaining to investigations or interviews prior to, during, or after the investigation of the death of [an identified individual]. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Attorney Codagnone petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/1868, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Attorney Codagnone with a response dated August 7, 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. Attorney Codagnone may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
