See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On February 14, 2024, Mr. Kauppi stated “[c]an you please email me a copy of the PLA language?” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Kauppi petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/0792, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Commission provided Mr. Kauppi with a response dated March 14, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Commission’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Kauppi may appeal the substantive nature of the Commission’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
