See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).

Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Hulick petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/1156, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Commission provided Ms. Hulick with a response dated April 18, 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. Ms. Hulick may appeal the substantive nature of the Commission’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
