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

Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Mason petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/3080, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Mason with a response on November 14, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Mason may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
