G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).

The Town responded on April 20th. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response, Mr. Hohler appealed, and SPR21/1251 was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided a supplemental response on May 27, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the of the Town’s April 20th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed.
