Records Custodian Email Request
Dear Freehold Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested: A copy of all emails sent and received by Records Custodian Lt. Kenneth Kleinman (Ret) from September 1, 2023 until 11:59 hours on September 13, 2023.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Good afternoon.
Please be advised that your request for “A copy of all emails sent and received by Records Custodian Lt. Kenneth Kleinman (Ret) from September 1, 2023 until 11:59 hours on September 13, 2023” is denied as it fails to properly identify the messages sought. An OPRA request seeking messages, communications, or other correspondence must provide “1) [the] content and/or subject of the [correspondence]; 2) the specific date or range of dates during which the [correspondence] was transmitted ... ; and 3) [the] identity [of] the sender and/or recipient of said [correspondence].” Elcavage v. West Milford Township, GRC Complaint No. 2009-07 (April 2010); see also Serringer v. Office of Governor of State, A-0837-15T2, 2017 WL 2610646 (App. Div. June 16, 2017))(“In order to limit a blanket request, the subject matter of the type of document sought should be identified in the request. ... With these guiding principles in mind, we conclude from our review that plaintiff's request was overly broad.”) The request fails to specify the content and/or subject of the messages sought.
Thank you.
