See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 28, 2024, Ms. McPhee requested “any and all public records, including, but not limited to, complaints filed pertaining to the following [five identified] Massachusetts law enforcement officials[.]” Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. McPhee petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/2626, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Commission provided Ms. McPhee with responses on September 18, 2024 and September 20, 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. McPhee may appeal the substantive nature of the Commission’s responses within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
