Robert,
Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office previously acknowledged receipt of your OPRA-Common Law request with an original deadline of 5/30/2025. During a check of the request via email, it was noted that the title states "OPRA request - Request a fire investigation report" yet the body of the OPRAmachine format for Records Requested: is blank. HCPO is unsure of exactly what you are seeking. Please clarify by describing the document(s) sought by providing more details.
Additionally, the title indicates that you are seeking document(s) specifically “a fire report". Be advised that HCPO does not have a record/records by that name. Please clarify by describing the document(s) sought by providing more details.
Lastly, the body of the email form states "Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access" yet no additional information is provided to establish your individual standing in the record(s) on the fire. If you would like HCPO to consider other information into the Common Law balancing analysis, please provide that information establishing your individual need for the document(s) requested.
Until a clarification is received our review and response cannot be made.
Please respond before 6/2/2025 otherwise this request will be closed requiring you to submit a new request if you still want to receive records.
Upon receipt of the clarification, HCPO will then review and a response will be provided as required by law.
