See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On October 27, 2023 and October 25, 2023, Mr. Healey requested the following: [1.] ... emails ... to /from [an identified individual] public and private emails ... [and] ... email to/from [an identified individual] ... emails related to Somerset Town Business for period 24 -27 October 2023. The previous one for the period 01 Sep to 24 [-] Oct 2023. [2.] ... emails to /from [an identified individual] ... [and] ... emails to/from [an identified individual] in Somerset Record System and ... personal email system related to his role in a Somerset Public Body on ZBA and Water Commission and other Public roles he may have had for the period 01 Sep 2023 through 24 October 2023. Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Healey petitioned this office and these appeals, SPR23/3048 and SPR23/3049, were opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided Mr. Healey with a response dated December 20, 2023. Where these appeals were opened as a result of the Town’s lack of a written response, I will now consider these administrative appeals closed. Mr. Healey may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
