Mr. Hackett,
Currently, your request fails to identify with reasonable clarity the
specific government records sought, as is required by Bent v. Stafford
Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). I have not
received a response to my emails dated December 23, 2022 and January 6,
2023 regarding clarification of your OPRA request. Accordingly, the
request is denied.
A receipt indicating that your request has been closed, is attached.
