Thompson, Esq. Assistant City Solicitor City of Worcester Law Department 455 Main Street, Room 301 Worcester, MA 01608 Dear Attorney Thompson: I have received the petition of Mr. Donald Hall appealing the nonresponse of the City of Worcester (City) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 23, 2020, Mr. Hall requested a specified inventory form. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Hall petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. In an email dated February 16, 2021, the City confirmed that a response has been provided to Mr. Hall. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the City’s lack of response to Mr. Hall’s request, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Hall 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: Mr. Donald Hall 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
