Please note, OPRA requests seeking “any” and “all” records are overly broad pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.
The request requires that the Custodian conduct research to ascertain what records, if any, would be responsive to your request. See, MAG Entm’t, LLC v. Division of ABC, 375 N.J. Super. 534 (App. Div. 2005) which provides that “[w]hile OPRA provides an alternative means of access to government documents… it is not intended as a research tool litigants may use to force government officials to identify and siphon useful information. Rather, OPRA simply operates to make identifiable government records ‘readily accessible for inspection, copying or examination.”
Please confirm receipt of this email.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Wehmann, RMC, CMR
