L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Snell requested records in whatever form of twelve itemized categories and sub-parts of those categories relating to indigent mail and asbestos. Mr. Snell petitioned this office, stating that he did not receive a response. On May 10, 2017, you notified the Public Records Division staff that responses were provided to Mr. Snell on April 14tl1, the day that the request was received by the Records Access Officer, and again on April 28th to accompany the responsive records the Department provided to Mr. Snell. Whereas this matter was opened based upon Mr. Snell's petition that no response was provided, seeing that responses were provided, I now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Snell may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's April 28th response within ninety (90) days. See 9?0 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~ u r r ~ Supervisor of Records cc: Emory A.
