See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On March 7, 2024, Mr. Kelleher requested: 1. Copies of the complaint filed by [an identified individual] with the Attorney General’s office on November 7, and any related documents . . . [such as] request for a “further review”[; and] 2. Copies of all emails and meeting minutes drafts from our clerk . . . including any new drafts of meeting minutes created by [a specified individual] from [the clerk]’s drafts. The Town responded on March 15, 2024. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response, Mr. Kelleher petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/0905, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided a further response on April 2, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s March 15th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Kelleher may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
