See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On February 02, 2024, Mr. Kelleher requested, “…footage of a fight that occurred during a Board of Health meeting in Brookfield, Massachusetts.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Kelleher petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/0701, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided Mr. Kelleher with a response dated March 12, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Kelleher may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s March 12th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
