The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records June 23, 2026 SPR26/2337 Mark Holt Via Email Dear Mr. Holt, This office has received your original request dated June 6, 2026 to the Town of Hadley (Town) inquiring for records. After reviewing this information I find that I am unable to accept your appeal. The Public Records Access Regulations, which govern the procedural aspects of all appeals, provide records custodians with ten (10) business days in which a response to a public records request must be provided. See 950 C.M.R. 32.06 (2) (b); G. L. c. 66, § 10(b). The 10-day time frame in which a custodian must respond has not yet elapsed. Nonetheless, subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the Town provided you with a response on June 22, 2026. You may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). At that time this office will review the matter. Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Lieutenant Mitchell J.
