Your request is denied based on the following. Bent v. Stafford Police
Dep’t, 381 N.J. Super. 30 (App. Div. 2005): The Court affirmed the GRC’s
decision (GRC Complaint No. 2004-78) that the complainant’s request was
broad and unclear (“any and all”). The Council ruled that the information
sought did not amount to an identifiable government record.
The request is denied because a custodian is obligated to search his or
her records to find identifiable government records listed in the
Complainant’s OPRA request. A custodian is not required to research his or
her records to figure out which records, if any, might be responsive to a
broad and unclear OPRA request. MAG Entm’t, LLC v. Div. of Alcohol
Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534 (App. Div. 2005): The Court held
that “[w]hile OPRA provides an alternative means of access to government
documents not otherwise exempted from its reach, it is not intended as a
research tool litigants may use to force government officials to identify
and siphon useful information. Rather, OPRA simply operates to make
identifiable government records ‘readily accessible for inspection,
copying, or examination.’ N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.” (emphasis added). The Court
further held that “[u]nder OPRA, agencies are required to disclose only
‘identifiable’ government records not otherwise exempt . . . In short,
OPRA does not countenance open-ended searches of an agency's files.” Id.
at 549 (emphasis added).
Your request for the above records is also denied because Pursuant
to Renna v. County of Union (App. Div. 2009), OPRA requests should be on
the agency’s official OPRA request form. However, a written request that
is not on the agency’s official OPRA request form cannot be denied solely
because the request is not on the request form. Written requests which are
not on the form must mention OPRA. Therefore, if a requestor elects not to
use an agency’s official OPRA request form, he/she must submit an
otherwise written request that clearly identifies itself as an OPRA
request. In addition as of September 3^rd, NJ State law requires
additional items to be included in the email if the form is not used. The
link for OPRA requests to be submitted with the form is provided on our
website at: [7]OPRA | scsheriff (sussexcountysheriff.com)
For your convenience we have attached the OPRA request form in pdf format.
It is the document marked "OPRA Request Form". This request form can be
sent to [8][email address] for all future request to this
office.
It should be noted that your request has failed to satisfy statute
N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(f) N.J. Stat. § 47:1A-5 (“f. The custodian of a public
agency shall adopt the form established by the Government Records Council
pursuant to subsection b. of section 8 of P.L. 2001, c. 404
(C.47:1A-7),for the use of any person who requests access to a government
record held or controlled by the public agency. The form shall provide
space for the name, address, email address and telephone number of the
requestor and a brief description of the government record sought. A
request shall be submitted by a requestor in the form adopted by the
custodian and the custodian may deny a request that is incomplete, except
that a requestor indicating the request is being submitted anonymously
shall not be grounds for denial. A completed form adopted by the
custodian, a letter, or an email from a requestor including all of the
information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a
completed form as a valid government record request. If the letter or
email from a requestor includes substantially more information than
required on the adopted form and requires more than reasonable effort to
clarify the information, the custodian may deny the request. If a letter
or an email from a requestor does not include all of the information
required on the adopted form, the custodian may deny the record request. A
request may be submitted anonymously provided, however, that anonymous
requestors shall not be permitted to institute proceedings pursuant to
section 7 of P.L. 2001, c. 404 (C.47:1A-6). A request that is submitted
anonymously shall not be considered incomplete.”)……
This concludes your request.
Sincerely,
Nicholas Pampanin
