G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 5, 2021, Ms. Shelly requested identified emails between 1/1/2021 and 8/5/2021. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Shelly petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/2246, was opened as a result.

A copy of the response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us.
