Your application is denied on the following grounds. A custodian is
obligated to search his files to find the identifiable government records
listed in the Complainant’s OPRA request. A custodian is not required to
research his files to figure out which records, if any, might be
responsive to a broad and unclear OPRA request. There is no “list” in
existence seeking the information you requested.
If a request does not name specifically identifiable records or is overly
broad, a custodian may deny access pursuant to the following court
decisions: MAG Entm’t, LLC v. Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J.
Super. 534 (App. Div. 2005), Bent v. Stafford Police Dep’t, 381 N.J.
Super. 30 (App. Div. 2005), N.J. Builders Ass’n v. N.J. Council on
Affordable Hous., 390 N.J. Super. 166 (App. Div. 2007), and Schuler v.
Borough of Bloomsbury, GRC Complaint No. 2007- 151 (February 2009).
This concludes your request.

Undersheriff Matthew Avenatti
