Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1 it has been determined that this request
does not qualify as a document request pursuant to the OPRA laws and the
definition thereof. This governmental custodian is not required to conduct
research, analyze, collate, compile and/or correlate data from existing
governmental records. A blanket request for all documents is not a
document request pursuant to OPRA and existing case law. Pursuant to MAG

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. Therefore, I respectfully deny your request at this time.
