City of Boston, Public Records 1 City Hall Square, Room 615 Boston, MA 02201 Dear Attorney Williams: I have received the petition of Stevan Johnson appealing the nonresponse of the City of Boston (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08{1). Specifically, Mr. Johnson requested several categories ofrecords within the possession of the City. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Johnson petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the request for an appeal, I learned that the City responded to Mr. Johnson's request with a response sent on March 30, 2020 and a subsequent response on April 23, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the City's lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Johnson may appeal the substantive nature of the City's response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Stevan Johnson 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
