G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Hardiman requested records pertaining to certain communications between April 29, 2019 and April 29, 2021. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Hardiman petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Commission responded to Mr. Hardiman’s request with a response sent on June 9, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Commission’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Hardiman may appeal the substantive nature of the Commission’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
