The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records July 10, 2023 SPR23/1470 Tara Douglas, Esq. Assistant General Counsel Board of Registration in Medicine 200 Harvard Mill Square, Suite 330 Wakefield, MA 01880 Dear Attorney Douglas: I have received the petition of Michael Bush appealing the response of the Board of Registration in Medicine (Board) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On March 10, 2023, Mr. Bush requested, “[c]omplaints about physicians to the Board filed between July 1, 2022 and January 15, 2023 [and] all other documentation of the Board pertaining to those complaints, including but not limited to disciplinary action.” Previous Appeal The records sought by Mr. Bush were the subject of a previous appeal. See SPR23/1007 Supervisor of Records Determination (May 26, 2023). The Board provided a response on June 9, 2023. Unsatisfied with the Board’s response, Mr. Bush petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/1470, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided a further response to Mr. Bush on June 28, 2023. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s June 9th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Bush may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s June 28th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Michael Bush One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
