MCMJIF Subpoena and Response
Charlie Kratovil made this OPRA request to Middlesex County Municipal Joint Insurance Fund Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.
Dear Middlesex County Municipal Joint Insurance Fund,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
1) the January 15, 2025 subpoena from the NJ Dept. of Banking and Insurance.
2) the MCMJIF's January 23, 2025 response to the aforementioned subpoena.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil

Attached is a copy of the subpoena you requested. While this subpoena was received by the MCMJIF, and is therefore being provided to you in response to your OPRA request, the MCMJIF was not required to respond to the subpoena so that there is no MCMJIF document responsive to the second document you requested.
Very truly yours,
Scott Rekant

Dear Mr. Rekant,
Thank you for the subpoena. Are you saying that no one at the MCMJIF wrote back to DOBI? Even if no documents were produced, I would like a copy of the response provided to DOBI. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil

As you can see, the subpoena was not addressed to Barbara Murphy or the MCMJIF. It was directed to others with a copy mailed to the MCMJIF. That is why the MCMJIF had a copy that was responsive to your request. Since the MCMJIF was not required to submit a response to the subpoena, it did not and there is no additional document responsive to your OPRA request.

Dear Scott,
I must admit I am confused by your statement where you say the subpoena was directed to "others" - was it not addressed to the MCMJIF Fund Commissioners? Who are the "others" you are referring to?
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
MCMJIF: "The subpoena was directed to or required the Commissioners to
respond."
