Need information on a possible complaint and/report someone claimed they made about me.
Dear Brick Township,
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-6(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:
Requesting information to confirm whether or not a complaint/report was made about me , Nicole Dwyer , on or around the date of August 12 2025. It would have been made by Raymond Lutick.
Thank you.
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,
Nicole Dwyer
You are requesting us to perform research to see which documents exist which is not covered under the OPRA statute. OPRA is for copies of specific documents and is not to be used as a research tool.
The New Jersey Government Records Council states that “valid OPRA (Open Public Records Act) request seeks specific, identifiable government records. Valid OPRA requests do not ask questions, do not seek information, and do not require a custodian to conduct any research or create a new record. When a request is “complex” because it fails to specifically identify the documents sought, then that request is not “encompassed” by OPRA. See New Jersey Builders Association v. New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing, 390 N.J.Super. 166, 180 (App. Div. 2007). A proper request under OPRA must identify with reasonable clarity those documents that are desired, and a party cannot satisfy this requirement by simply requesting all of an agency's documents. OPRA is to “search” for a specific, identifiable, existing government record. It is not meant to “research” to see if a record exists. Research should be done prior to completing an OPRA request.
This request has been denied.
Thank You,
