Marcus Kuhs v. Lynn, City of - Police Department (SPR 20241362)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records May 16, 2024 SPR24/1362 Lieutenant Robert Avery Records Access Officer Lynn Police Department 300 Washington Street Lynn, MA 01902 Dear Lt. Avery: I have received the petition of Attorney Marcus Kuhs appealing the nonresponse of the Lynn Police Department (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 5, 2024, Attorney Kuhs requested “any reports, memos or FIO’s written by [an identified individual] from January 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Attorney Kuhs petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/1362, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Attorney Kuhs with a response dated May 14, 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 Kuhs 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: Marcus Kuhs, Esq.
