See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 12, 2024, the requestor sought “[a]ll Records Access Officers for [four specified entities] and for any other department not specifically Requested . . .” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, the requestor petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/2161, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the City of Malden (City) provided the requestor with a response dated July 30, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the School’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. The requestor may appeal the substantive nature of the City’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
