Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Stanley petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the Department responded to Ms. Stanley's request with a response sent on June 10, 201 7 indicating that the responsive records had been compiled and were ready to be retrieved. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department's failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Stanley may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
