Carolyn Wagner v. Massachusetts Board of Review (SPR 20222722)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records December 8, 2022 SPR22/2722 Anne C. Berlin, Esq. Chief Counsel Board of Review Department of Unemployment Assistance 19 Staniford Street Boston, MA 02114 Dear Attorney Berlin: I have received the petition of Carolyn Wagner appealing the response of the Massachusetts Board of Review (Board) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On November 16, 2022, Ms. Wagner requested records that the Board relied upon in their decision-making to deny her unemployment assistance. The Board responded on November 23, 2022. Unsatisfied with the Board’s response, Ms. Wagner petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2722, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Board provided Ms. Wagner with a further response dated December 2, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Board’s November 23, 2022 response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Wagner may appeal the substantive nature of the Board’s December 2nd response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Carolyn Wagner
