Changes to NJDOC EED policies during the COVID19 pandemic
Dear New Jersey Department of Corrections,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Emails or directives sent from the NJ state EEOC to the NJDOC EED regarding any changes to how the NJDOC EED conducts business or modification to existing NJDOC EED policies as a result of the COVID19 pandemic.
Yours faithfully,
Charles Beideman
Dear Mr. Beideman,
My office has been provided one email from the New Jersey Civil Service Commission's Division of Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action (EEO/AA). This record is exempt from disclosure pursuant to NJSA 47:1A-1.1 “advisory, contemplative or deliberative material” and N.J.S.A. 47:1A-9 as this record has been deemed confidential by the originating agency.
Your common law request for the record must also be denied when weighing the factors announced in Loigman v. Kimmelman 102 NJ 98 (1986) and subsequent case law on this topic.
You have a right to challenge the decision by the Department of Corrections. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint in writing with the Government Records Council (GRC). You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ 08625, by e-mail at [email address], or at their web site at www.state.nj.us/grc. The Council can also answer other questions about the law.
Thank you,
John Falvey
NJDOC Records Custodian
