Dear June Planas,
As you may know approximately 1 month ago on April 2 the NJ Supreme Court decided in Libertarians for Transparent Government v. Cumberland County that the public right to justice overruled the government refusal of releasing Internal Affairs records. You may be relying on old case law which has subsequently been decided by the NJ Supreme Court.
Additionally, in March of 2022 the US Supreme Court reversed or remanded the lower court’s ruling regarding Rivera vs Union County Prosecutors Office.
My basis for the the common law request is that I am a citizen with interest in a public problem.
Yours sincerely,
MP
