The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 15, 2021 SPR21/1425 Ms. Araceli Avila Ging Division of Professional Licensure 1000 Washington Street, Suite 710 Boston, MA 02118 Dear Ms. Ging: I have received the petition of Paul Hardiman appealing the nonresponse of the Massachusetts Division of Professional Licensure (Division) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Hardiman requested records pertaining to an identified case involving the Massachusetts Sheet Metal Board. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Hardiman petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the Division responded to Mr. Hardiman’s request with a response sent on March 24, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Division’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Hardiman may appeal the substantive nature of the Division’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Paul Hardiman 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
