Dear Chief Delehanty:
March 15, 2019 
SPR19/0506 
I have received the petition of Pat Bender appealing the response of the Winthrop Police
Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R.
32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Bender requested "the disclosure of the name, address and charges
relating to recent arrests made by the Winthrop Massachusetts PD during a specified date range."
Unsatisfied with the Department's response, Mr. Bender appealed to this office and SPR19/0506
was opened as a result.
While this appeal was pending, the Department provided a supplemental response to Mr.
Bender on March 12, 2019. Mr. Bender sent an email to this office on March 12, 2019 indicating
the Department had "adequately fulfilled my requests." Whereas this matter was opened based
upon an appeal of the Department's response, I will now consider this administrative appeal
closed. Mr. Bender may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within
ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
