Eileen M. Fenton, Esq.

Massachusetts Department of Transportation Ten Park Plaza, Suite 3510

Boston, MA 02116

Dear Attorney Fenton:

[have received the petition of Attorney David Sterrett appealing the nonresponse of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66 § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Attorney Sterrett requested records regarding a specifically identified application for an electronic billboard. Having received no response, Attorney Sterrett petitioned this office.

Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division staff, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated February 24, 2017. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Department’s failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Attorney Sterrett may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.MLR. 32.08(1).
