Dear Anonymous,
 
The Camden County Custodian of Records received your Open Public Records
Act request on 5/3/2019.  To access your request please click [1]here.
 
Your overall request is too broad or contains insufficient information and
seeks documents that are not specifically “identifiable” for the County
Departments to gather a response.  As such, the request submitted is a
wholesale request for information that is not encompassed by the intent of
OPRA as has been articulated in N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et. seq. and MAG
Entertainment v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super.
534 (App. Div. 2005).
Please submit a new request, with the pertinent information to allow us to
conduct a proper search of our records.  

• Names of sender and receiver
• Time period requested
• Subject matter

This letter constitutes completions of your request.
 
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et seq. if your request for access to a
government record has been denied or unfilled within the seven (7)
business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision
by the County of Camden to deny access.  As provided by law, you have the
right to either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey
or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by
completing their Denial of Access Complaint Form located at the GRC’s
website at www.state.nj.us/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

Dear Camden County OPRA Center,

I believe my request is specific enough under NJ FOIA OPRA statutes, but I will try to be more specific.

Are you asking for broad subjects in general or for specific keywords that will be used to search for emails?

If broad subjects in general I am interested in any emails related to Steve Ayscue, Camden or Camden County in general.

If looking for specific keywords to search, please use any of the following keywords individually when searching: Ayscue, camden, press, article, response, respond, mayor, reporter, norcross

RE: OPRA REQUEST of 5/3/2019, Reference # W013859-050319
 
Dear Anonymous,
 
The Camden County Custodian of Records received your Open Public Records
Act request on 5/3/2019.  To access your request please click [1]here.
 
 Your request is too broad or contains insufficient information and seeks
documents that are not specifically “identifiable” for the Camden County
Information Technology & Telecommunications (I.T.) Department to gather a
response. As such, the request submitted is a wholesale request for
information that is not encompassed by the intent of OPRA as has been
articulated in N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et. seq. and MAG Entertainment v.
Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534 (App. Div.
2005).

Although your request is too broad, the I.T. Department conducted a search
of their files and informed my office that there are no responsive
documents to your request. The I.T. Department could not perform a
complete search without an email address for ‘Steve Ayscue’. However, the
Department performed a search using ‘Steve Ayscue’ and ‘Checkpoint
Advisers LLC’ as the subject with no results.

As such this letter constitutes completion of your request.
 
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et seq. if your request for access to a
government record has been denied or unfilled within the seven (7)
business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision
by the County of Camden to deny access.  As provided by law, you have the
right to either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey
or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by

about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court
should be directed to the Superior Court.
