The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records December 27, 2023 SPR23/3043 Daniel M. DeBlander, Esq. Assistant District Attorney Appeals and Training Bureau Middlesex District Attorney’s Office 15 Commonwealth Avenue Woburn, MA 01801 Dear Attorney DeBlander: I have received the petition of Anthony Barry appealing the nonresponse of the Middlesex 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 20, 2023, Mr. Barry requested twenty-four (24) categories of records relating to an identified court case “or anywhere in [the Office’s] records that the name Anthony Barry… may appear[.]” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Barry petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/3043, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided Mr. Barry with a response dated December 20, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Barry may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Anthony Barry 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
