Heather Carito v. Massachusetts Department of Transportation (SPR 20191346)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records July 15, 2019 SPR19/1346 William J. Doyle, Esq. Records Access Officer Massachusetts Department of Transportation Ten Park Plaza, Suite 3510 Dear Attorney Doyle: I have received the petition of Heather Cari to appealing the nonresponse of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § JOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Carito requested three categories of records within the possession of MassDOT concerning civil engineering. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Carito 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 leamed that MassDOT responded to Ms. Carito's request with a response sent on July 12, 2019. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of Mass DOT' s failure to provide a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Carito 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: Heather Carito 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
