G. L. c. 66 § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Murray requested email correspondence from two specifically identified individuals employed at the Department. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Murray petitioned this office and these two appeals were opened as a result.

Accordingly, I will consider these administrative appeals closed with the proviso that the Department provide said responses without delay. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of these responses to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Mr. Murray may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's responses within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~~ Rebecca S.
