Assistant City Solicitor City of Worcester 455 Main Street Worcester, MA 01609 Dear Attorney Thompson: I have received the petition of Amy DeAngelis appealing the nonresponse of the City of Worcester (City) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 23, 2024, Ms. DeAngelis requested “the results, reports, documentation and all records related to the investigation of a deceased turtle found at … Howland Terrace, Worcester MA[.]” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. DeAngelis petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/2231, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City provided Ms. DeAngelis with a response on August 7, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s lack of a written response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. DeAngelis may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Amy DeAngelis 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
