The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records March 15, 2024 SPR24/0679 Allison Mondello Records Access Officer Massachusetts Department of State Police 470 Worcester Road Framingham, MA 01702 Dear Ms. Mondello: I have received the petition of Karissa Flynn appealing the nonresponse of the Massachusetts Department of State Police (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On December 13, 2023, Ms. Flynn requested a “[c]opy of any citation issued to [an identified individual] . . . on November 16, 2023.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Flynn petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/0679, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Ms. Flynn with a response dated March 14, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Flynn may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Karissa Flynn 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
