The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records December 11, 2023 SPR23/2885 Karen Palumbo, Esq. Assistant District Attorney Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office 166 Main Street Brockton, MA 02301 Dear Attorney Palumbo: I have received the petition of Colman Herman appealing the response of the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office (Office) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66 § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On November 13, 2023, Mr. Herman requested, “a copy of the police report for the automobile accident that occurred on May 16, 2022 in which [a named individual] was killed.” On November 28, 2023, the Office responded. Unsatisfied with the Office’s response, Mr. Herman petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/2885, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided a further response on December 8, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s November 28th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Herman may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s December 8th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Colman Herman 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
