Records Access Officer Massachusetts Department of Transportation Ten Park Plaza, Suite 3910 Boston, MA 02116 Dear Attorney Doyle: I have received the petition of Michelle Loubert appealing the nomesponse of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Loubert requested a rating assessment for a bridge in Great Barrington, MA. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Loubert 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 MassDOT responded to Ms. Loubert' s request with a response sent on June 24, 2019. Furthermore, Ms. Loubert contacted this office confirming her "request has been fulfilled." Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of MassDOT' s failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Loubert may appeal the substantive nature of MassDOT's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Michelle Loubert 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
