Doyle, Esq. Massachusetts Department of Transpo1iation 10 Park Plaza, Suite 3910 Boston, MA 02116 Dear Attorney Doyle: I have received the petition of Harry M~ttison appealing the nomesponse of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (Depmiment) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). Specifically, Mr. Mattison requested all documents regarding an identified Department project. Having received no response, Mr. Mattison petitioned this office. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division, this office was notified that a response was provided, dated February 3, 2020. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the Department's lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Mattison may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety days. 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~u~ Supervisor of Records cc: Harry Mattison 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
