Dias appealing the nonresponse of the Hanson Board of Health (Board) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 9, 2023, Mr. Dias requested the following records: [1] Stamped agenda(s) for the September 2022 meeting [2] Accepted/Approved minutes for the September 2022 meeting [3] Stamped agenda(s) for the October 2022 meeting [4] Accepted/Approved meeting minutes for the October 2022 meeting. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Dias petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0147, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Board provided Mr. Dias with a response dated January 25, 2023. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Board’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Dias may appeal the substantive nature of the Board’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Alan J.
