See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On December 7, 2024, Mr. & Mrs. Burden requested, “[t]he video footage from all security cameras that cover any portion of the front side of the Lunenburg Safety Building for November 22, 2024 between the hours 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. & Mrs. Burden petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/0073, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Mr. & Mrs. Burden with a response on December 10, 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. & Mrs. Burden may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
