The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records May 17, 2024 SPR24/1385 Karen Palumbo, Esq. Records Access Officer Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office 166 Main Street Brockton, MA 02301 Dear Attorney Palumbo: I have received the petition of Emma Rindlisbacher appealing the response of the Plymouth 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 May 3, 2024, Ms. Rindlisbacher requested “[a] copy of the video showing [an identified individual]’s arm ‘arm in motion toward the victim at multiple different points’.” The Office responded on May 7, 2024. Unsatisfied with the response, Ms. Rindlisbacher petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/1385, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided Ms. Rindlisbacher with a further response dated May 8, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s May 7th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Rindlisbacher may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s May 8th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
