L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On June 12, 2025, Attorney Cormier requested “[r]ecords pertaining to the August 18, 2001, armed robbery, assault by dangerous weapon, and providing a false name, alleged to have been committed by [identified individual]. . .” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Attorney Cormier petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/1888, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Attorney Cormier with a response on July 2, 2025. 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. Attorney Cormier may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Philip G.
