The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords April19, 2017 SPR17/485 Bill Allen Deputy Chief Consumer Advocacy and Response Division Office of the Attorney General One Ashburton Place Boston, MA 02108 Dear Mr. Allen: I have received the petition of Harris Contos appealing the nonresponse of Office of the Attorney General's Consumer Advocacy and Response Division (Division) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66 § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). Specifically, Mr. Contos requested information regarding a company called "Smart Lawn" and the Massachusetts "Do Not Call" law. Having received no response, Mr. Contos 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 April 13, 2017. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Division's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Contos may appeal the substantive nature of the Division's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~~ Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Mr. Harris Contos One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 (617) 727-2832o Fax: (617) 727-5914 o sec.state.ma.us/pre pre@sec.state.ma.us o
