Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Kelleher petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/2813, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided Mr. Kelleher with a response on September 29, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Kelleher may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
