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

[2.] Any and all communications and/or records that refer to the amount of years each correctional officer worked at MCI-Norfolk who worked in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Topf petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/2891, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the Office has provided a response. Accordingly, the Office is ordered to provide Ms. Topf with a response to her request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of the response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us.
