G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 6, 2022, Mr. Westcott requested information regarding the registration of a particular sex offender. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Westcott petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/1844, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Westcott with a response to this request on August 11, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Westcott may appeal the substantive nature of the response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1.
