The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records August 15, 2024 SPR24/2214 Cindy Garron Wareham Police Department 2515 Cranberry Highway Wareham, MA 02571 Dear Ms. Garron: I have received the petition of Jeffrey G. Harris, Esq. appealing the response of the Wareham 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 July 22, 2024, Attorney Harris requested, “[a]ll documents and materials… relating to the October 1995 murder of [a named individual] in Wareham.” The Department provided a response on July 23, 2024. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Attorney Harris petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/2214, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided a supplemental response on August 7, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s July 23rd response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Attorney Harris may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s August 7th response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Jeffrey G. Harris, Esq. 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
