Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided Ms. Carr with a response dated February 1, 2024. 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. Ms. Carr may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
