Dear Olivia Benson,

This will respond to the referenced request for government records.

The request is improper and overbroad in that it fails to identify the
specific record sought.

The government records law, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1, et seq., does not allow a
blanket request for every document a public agency has on file or a
wholesale request for general information.  Gannett N.J. Partners, LP v.
Cty. of Middlesex, 379 N.J. Super. 205, 212 (App. Div. 2005); MAG Entm’t,
LLC v. Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534, 549 (App.
Div. 2005); Bent v. Twp. of Stafford Police Dep’t, 381 N.J. Super. 30,
36-37 (App. Div. 2005); Spectraserv, Inc. v. Middlesex Cty. Utils.
Auth., 416 N.J. Super. 565, 578 (App. Div. 2010); N.J. Builders Ass’n v.
N.J. Council on Affordable Hous., 390 N.J. Super. 166, 178-79 (App. Div.
2007). Requests for correspondence must identify the individuals or
accounts to be searched and be confined to a discrete and limited subject
matter.  

If you would like for us to search for correspondence, in a new OPRA
request please identify the specific employees whose accounts you would
like to be searched.

The request is now denied and closed.

Sincerely,

Logan Rafferty

Custodian of Records for the

Division of Public Health Infrastructure, Laboratories, and Emergency
Preparedness
