WOE 497341 v. SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY BOARD NO (2019)

Appeals Court of Massachusetts.

B. WOE, Sex Offender Registry Board No. 497341 v. SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY BOARD (NO. 2).

18-P-315

Decided: August 14, 2019

By the Court (Meade, Blake & Massing, JJ.1)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER PURSUANT TO RULE 1:28

This case is back before us after the Supreme Judicial Court, acting on the plaintiff's petition for further appellate review, remanded the case for further consideration in light of Doe, Sex Offender Registry Bd. No. 496501 v. Sex Offender Registry Bd., 482 Mass. 643 (2019). Because the plaintiff seasonably raised the relevant claims, we conclude that the case should be remanded to the hearing examiner for further factual findings as to (1) the degree of dangerousness posed by the plaintiff, and (2) whether, given the plaintiff's risk of reoffense and degree of dangerousness, a public safety interest would be served by Internet publication of the plaintiff's sex offender registry information.

Accordingly, the judgment is vacated, and a new judgment shall enter remanding the case to the Sex Offender Registry Board for further proceedings consistent with this memorandum and order.

So ordered.

Vacated and remanded.
