Box 190 Edgartown, MA 02539 Dear Major Schofield: I have received the petition of Douglas Moser of NBC Boston appealing the nonresponse ofthe Dukes County Sheriffs Office (Office) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66 §lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).

Claiming to not yet have received a substantive response, Mr. Moser petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. On July 7, 2017, Mr. Moser notified tllis office via email that he is formally withdrawing his appeal. In his withdrawal, Mr. Moser noted his intention to do so because the Office fulfilled his request. Accordingly, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Moser may appeal the substantive nature ofthe Office's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
