Valerie Fallica v. Massachusetts Department of State Police (SPR 20241179)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records April 22, 2024 SPR24/1179 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 Attorney Valerie Fallica 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 March 26, 2024, Attorney Fallica requested a “…police incident report from a court house (Gloucester District Court) altercation on December 2, 2011 between [an identified] defense attorney and [an identified] ADA.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Attorney Fallica petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/1179, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Attorney Fallica with a response on April 22, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Attorney Fallica 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: Valerie Fallica, Esq.
