RE: PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST of November 29, 2024, Reference #
R007116-112924
Dear Sir/Madam:
This office serves as the custodian of records for the
County of Mercer under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA). We
are in receipt of your recent request for government records pertaining to
the above subject. Please accept the following response to same.
Please be advised your request is denied, as it is not permitted by law.
The County is not required to conduct research, answer questions or create
records, in response to an OPRA request. See, MAG Entertainment, LLC, 375
N.J. Super. 534 (App. Div. 2005). OPRA “… is not intended as a research
tool… to force government officials to identify and siphon useful
information.” Lagerkvist v. Office of the Governor, 443 N. J. Super. 203
(App. Div. 2015). In addition, a request for “any” or “all” government
records is an improper request under OPRA. See, Spectraserv, Inc., 416
N.J. Super. 565 (App. Div. 2010).
Without waiving the foregoing, on information and belief, the matter
involves a juvenile. Juvenile records cannot be released without a Court
Order. Please be advised that the Mercer County Prosecutor has its own
OPRA custodian of records; mercercountyprosecutor.com.
Please call me with any questions. Thank you.
Yours truly,
Paul R. Adezio
Mercer County Counsel
