Duplin Swampscott Town Clerk 22 Monument Avenue Swampscott, MA 01907 Dear Ms. Duplin: I have received the petition of Thomas Palleria appealing the nonresponse of the Town of Swampscott (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Palleria requested records pertaining to certain invoices. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Palleria petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town responded to Mr. Palleria’s request with a response sent on April 16, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Palleria may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
