Heather Miller, Esq. v. Massachusetts Department of Transportation (SPR 20200450)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records March 5, 2020 SPR20/0450 William J. Doyle, Esq. Massachusetts Department of Transpmiation 10 Park Plaza, Suite 3910 Boston, MA 02116 Dear Attorney Doyle: I have received the petition of Heather Miller, Esq. appealing the nonresponse of the Massachusetts Department ofTranspmiation (MassDOT) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R, 32.08(1). Attorney Miller requested several records in MassDOT's possession. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Attorney Miller 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 the Department responded to Attorney Miller's request with a response sent on March 4, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of MassDOT's lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. The requestor may appeal the substantive nature ofMassDOT's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~~ Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Heather Miller, Esq.
