Ballot Design Case Expenses
Charlie Kratovil made this OPRA request to Middlesex County as part of a batch sent to 19 authorities Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.
Dear Middlesex County,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access.
The records requested relate to two federal lawsuits concerning the design of New Jersey’s primary ballots: Conforti v. Hanlon, 3:20-cv-08267 (USDNJ) and Kim v. Hanlon, 3:24-cv-01098 (USDNJ) including its Third Circuit appeal (3d Cir, 24-1594).
Records requested:
1. Documents constituting or evidencing a list of all payments to outside counsel, legal consultants, and other expenses associated with these lawsuits since July 1, 2020. (Note: I am seeking payments related to the legal challenges described above. If you cannot sort in that manner, then I will take a list of all payments. This probably exists in a vendor history/activity report.)
2. Invoices for outside counsel, legal consultants, and other expenses associated with the lawsuits described above since July 1, 2020. (Note: Again, I am only seeking payments related to the legal challenges described above. If you can sort in that manner, then that is all that is needed. Otherwise, I request all invoices.)
Please produce the list of payments immediately. I understand the invoices may take longer, although they are also "immediate access" documents.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil

Pursuant to your request see attached invoice. There are no further
records responsive as no outside counsel was retained and the County was
not a party in the Conforti matter.
