I have received your request and will process it.

While you are not required to utilize the OPRA form, in order for me to process this under OPRA, you do need to provide me with the information:
Under penalty of N.J.S.A. 2C:28-3, I certify that
1. I HAVE / HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States;
2. I, or another person, WILL / WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose;
3. I AM / AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

As a reminder to you, please be aware that “Commercial purpose” is broadly defined under OPRA to include “the direct or indirect use of any part of a government record for sale, resale, solicitation, rent, or lease of a service or any use by which the user expects a profit either through commission, salary, or fee.” N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1. If Asset Management Consultants, which we understand to be a for-profit corporation, intends to use the requested records in any way in connection with its for-profit operations—this would constitute a “commercial purpose.”

Please be advised that the intentional failure to certify that a records request is for a commercial purpose is subject to the imposition of civil penalties under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-11(b). In addition, as indicated on the OPRA request form, the certifications made therein are made under penalty of perjury, which is a fourth-degree criminal offense under New Jersey law. N.J.S.A. 2C:28-3(a).

Regards,

Angela Lazzari
