See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).

Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided Mr. Greineder with a response dated March 21, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Greineder may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
