L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 26, 2025, Mr. Ferretti requested, “scans of the birth certificate[,] return of birth for [an identified individual][.]” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Ferretti petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/3243, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town provided Mr. Ferretti with a response on November 5, 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. Ferretti may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
