See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On July 21 2025, Attorney Vazquez requested “any and all public records related to a motor vehicle accident that occurred on July 12, 2025 on Route 95SB in Reading, MA…” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Attorney Vazquez petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/2304, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the Department has provided a response. Accordingly, the Department is ordered to provide Attorney Vazuqez with a response to his request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of the response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Attorney Vazuqez 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: Mateo Vazquez, Esq.
