1. OPRA is not intended as a research tool litigants may use to
force government officials to identify and siphon useful
information. Under OPRA, agencies are required to disclose only
"identifiable" governmental documents not otherwise exempt.
Wholesale requests for general information which have to be
collated, analyzed and compiled by the entity are not required.
This governmental custodian is not required to conduct research,
analyze, collate, compile and/or correlate data from existing
government records.
A blanket request for all documents is not a document request
pursuant to OPRA and existing case law. MAG Entm't, LLC v. Div of
ABC, 375 N.J. Super. 534,546-549 (App. Div. 2005), "under OPRA,
agencies are required to disclose only 'identifiable' government
records and not otherwise exempt..
In short, OPRA does not countenance open-ended searches of
agency's files" Id. (emphasis added). Bent v. Stafford Police

No. 2007-151 (February 2009).
2. A request for a "file" "all" "any and all" etc. is invalid
because it represents a blanket request for a class of various,
unidentifiable records and constitutes a broad and unclear
request. See Morgano v Essex Cnty. Prosecutors's Office, GRC
