Response: The Township of Lakewood received your O pen Public
Records Act (OPRA) request on 1/2/2024. As such, the seven (7)
business day deadline to respond to your request is 1/11/2024.
This response to your request is being provided to you before the
1st business day after the custodian's receipt of said request.

Please be advised that OPRA is a request for a specific government
record. A proper request under OPRA must identify with reasonable
clarity those documents that are desired, and a party cannot
satisfy this requirement by simply requesting all of an agency's
documents on a given topic. See Bent v. Stafford Police
Department, 381 N.J.Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). OPRA is not a
research tool to force government entities to identify and siphon
off information.See Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381
N.J.Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). Your request does not identify
a specific government records but rather picks a topic and then
asks the Township to research whether or not any of these records
exist. As such, your request is an invalid OPRA request. When a
request is "complex" because it fails to specifically identify the
documents sought, then that request is not "encompassed" by OPRA.
See New Jersey Builders Association v. New Jersey Council on
Affordable Housing, 390 N.J.Super. 166, 180 (App. Div. 2007).

In regards to "
All records of Shmuel mozes" please clarify your request to
identify specifically what record you are seeking. As previously
noted, Township's are not required to conduct research. Please
note requests for "any and/or all" records are not valid. Please
see MAG Entm't LLC v. Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J.
Super. 534 (App. Div. 2005).
