Mr. Right,
In response to your OPRA REQUEST #2019-07-15, please find the information attached with this cover letter:
Should you disagree with my finding, please allow me the opportunity to converse with you for potential further clarification before proceeding with steps listed below.
If you feel a record has been denied or omitted, please see information below as to you options:
C.47:1A-6 Proceeding to challenge denial of access to record.
A person who is denied access to a government record by the custodian of the record, at the option of the requester, may:
- Institute a proceeding to challenge the custodian's decision by filing an action in Superior Court which shall be heard in the vicinage where it is filed by a Superior Court Judge who has been designated to hear such cases because of that judge's knowledge and expertise in matters relating to access to government records; or
- In lieu of filing an action in Superior Court, file a complaint with the Government Records Council established pursuant to section 8 of P.L. 2001, c.404 (C.47:1A-7).
The right to institute any proceeding under this section shall be solely that of the requestor. Any such proceeding shall proceed in a summary or expedited manner. The public agency shall have the burden of proving that the denial of access is authorized by law. If it is determined that access has been improperly denied, the court or agency head shall order that access be allowed. A requestor who prevails in any proceeding shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fee.
