The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords December 4, 2018 SPRlS/1736 Alexander deBlieck Public Records Paralegal Executive Office of Health and Human Services One Ashburton Place, Room 1109 Boston, MA 02108 Dear Mr. deBlieck: I have received the petition from Ronald Goldman appealing the nonresponse from the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (Office) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). Specifically, Mr. Goldman requested "all internal and external (received by and sent to an outside office by MassHealth) communications, notes, and documents directly or indirectly related to my communications with MassHealth about its payments for male infant circumcision." Having not received a substantive response from the Office, Mr. Goldman appealed to this office on November 19, 2018. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division staff, this office was provided with a response from the Office on November 30, 2018 and December 4, 2018 which were also provided to Mr. Goldman. Based upon this response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Goldman may appeal the substantive nature of the Office's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~~ Supervisor of Records cc: Ronald Goldman One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
