Brown appealing the nonresponse of the Office of the Treasurer and Receiver General (Office) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 16, 2025, Mr. Brown requested “[t]he rate of interest for the months March 2025 to date.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Brown petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/3010, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided Mr. Brown with a response on October 16, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Brown may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Howard B.
