Request denied:
Please be advised that a request pursuant to the Open Public
Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. ("OPRA") must identify the
records sought with specificity. Bart v. Passaic County Pub. Hous.
Agency, 406 N.J. Super. 445, 451 (App. Div. 2009). OPRA does not
permit open-ended requests for every document an agency has on
file. Spectraserv, Inc. v. Middlesex Cnty. Utilities Auth., 416
N.J. Super. 565, 576 (App. Div. 2010). OPRA "is not intended as a
research tool litigant may use to force government officials to
identify and siphon useful information." MAG Entertainment, LLC
vs. Division of Alcohol Beverage Control, 375, N.J. Super. 534,
546 (App. Div. 2005). OPRA only allows requests for records, not
requests for information. Id. To qualify under OPRA, the request
must reasonably identify a record and not generally data,
information or statistics. Bent v. Township of Stafford Police
Dept., Custodian of Records, 381 N.J.Super. 30 (App. Div. 2005).
