Senior Advisor & Counsel Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office 200 West Street P. O. Box 149 Dedham, MA 02027 Dear Attorney Madden: I have received the petition of Middlesex Realty (the requestor) appealing the nonresponse of the Norfolk County Sherriff’s Office (Office) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § l0A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 16, 2025, the requestor sought “[a]ll recordings of phone calls made by inmate [an identified individual] for the period of 12/26/23 through 2/23/24.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, the requestor petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/1220, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the Office has provided a response. Accordingly, the Office is ordered to provide the requestor with a response to the request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of the response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. The requestor may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Middlesex Realty 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
