I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Good Morning – we received two OPRA requests from you this morning.
I am just confirming it is the one for: OPRA report for 618 Leanora
Street, Brick NJ.
This request is too broad.
You must state what you are requesting – there is no OPRA report.
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.
