In my February 20th determination, I found that it was unclear whether the Department had provided Mr. Blankenship with a response to his request, and ordered the Department to provide Mr. Blankenship with a response within ten business days. Once the Department provides a response, Mr. Blankenship may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response to SPR26/0541 within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).

Chief Ryan P. Daley SPR26/0559 Page 4 February 20, 2026 Conclusion Accordingly, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Shawn Blankenship
