The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records December 22, 2023 SPR23/2991 Brandon P. Hunt, Esq. Assistant District Attorney Records Access Officer Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office 45 Shawmut Road Canton, MA 02021 Dear Attorney Hunt: I have received the petition of Anna Grayson appealing the response of the Norfolk 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 October 19, 2023, Ms. Grayson requested “[a]ny correspondence, sent or received, electronic or written, including attachments, involving any employee or appointed official at the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office that contains [one of any three specified search terms] from July 1, 2023 through present.” On November 13, 2023, Ms. Grayson modified her request with more specific search terms. The Office responded on November 9, 2023. Unsatisfied with the Office’s response, Ms. Grayson petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/2991, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided a further response to Ms. Grayson on December 15, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s November 9th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Grayson may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s December 15th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Anna Grayson 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
