The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records October 29, 2020 SPR20/2018 William J. Doyle, Esq. Massachusetts Department of Transportation 10 Park Plaza Boston, MA 02116 Dear Attorney Doyle: I have received the petition of Timothy Burke appealing the nonresponse of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Burke requested vehicle information pertaining to a certain individual. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Burke petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the request for an appeal, I learned that MassDOT responded to Mr. Burke’s request with a response sent on October 29, 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. Mr. Burke may appeal the substantive nature of MassDOT’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Timothy Burke 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
