Dear Public Records,

I received a response today from Medford Solicitor Kim Scanlon.

Strangely, the solicitor's response to #9 claims "....none that are responsive to your request."

The City receives "presentment letters" when individuals plan on litigating against an employee

of the city and/or the city itself.  As I am not a lawyer, I am simply requesting copies of the 

documents known as "presentment letters."  I know they must exist as I have seen numerous

lawsuits against the city of Medford on file in Superior court,

As there are many residents who would like to see these documents, that is of great public 

interest, it is inappropriate for a city NOT to release such documents.  Especially in light

of how difficult it is to sue a municipality - there are many ways for a city to slip out of 

wrongful conduct by an employee because of all the red tape, and the serious nature

of "presentment letters."

I am respectfully requesting two presentment letters filed against the city of Medford

so that the public has better knowledge as to how to litigate against city officials,

elected officials, or any of the almost three dozen police officers on the "Brady list,'

the most notorious city when it comes to Giglio/Brady in all of Middlesex County.

THANK YOU

Joe Viglione
