See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 20, 2022, Ms. Rhodes requested the “[b]ond number, type, date of issuance, dollar amount and contact information (name, address, and email/phone contact) of company which has Bonded the Sheriff, and any deputies . . .” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Rhodes petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0328, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided Ms. Rhodes with a response dated February 10, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s lack of a written response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Rhodes may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
