Joshua 362 v. North Adams, City of (SPR 20232278)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records September 26, 2023 SPR23/2278 Carrie Burnett Primary Records Access Officer City of North Adams 10 Main Street North Adams, MA 01247 Dear Ms. Burnett: I have received the petition of Joshua (requestor) appealing the nonresponse of the City of North Adams (City) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 7, 2023, the requestor sought all records in the possession of the City of North Adams and the North Adams Police Department regarding “…any internal affairs…any disciplinary records…any materials sent by the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission regarding [an identified individual] from August 1, 2023 and the time of response to this request.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, the requestor petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/2278, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided the requestor with a response dated September 23, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s lack of a written response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. The requestor may has appealed the City’s September 23rd response which is now opened as SPR23/2300. Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Joshua 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
