All records regarding a lawsuit between the City of Elizabeth vs Roselle Park Borough regarding sewer use
Dear Roselle Park Borough,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
All records regarding the litigation and lawsuit between the City of Elizabeth and Roselle Park Borough regarding the latter’s unpermitted use of the combined sewer system of Elizabeth.
Good Afternoon S. E. Lin:
Please be advised that I am in receipt of your request.
However, please be further advised that your request is overly broad
and/or unclear, and I am not able to process said request. The term
"records" does not reasonably identify a specific government record.
Therefore, I am seeking clarification as to what records you are
requesting. Please identify specific records you are seeking access to,
and I will provide them as expeditiously as possible.
Thank you,
Andrew J. Casais, RMC

- All subpoenas, including both those served upon the Borough and sent on behalf of the Borough.
- All interrogatories and answers, including, but not limited to, those submitted to or from third parties.
