Little Egg Harbor Township,

My records request under OPRA has gone unanswered, and no response has been provided in any way. In accordance with N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.i, you are in violation.
I am now requesting an internal review within your agency to determine why access to your records has been refused. My OPRA request now includes any records generated documenting that review; please provide those records immediately upon availability.
Additionally, I will be registering a Denial of Access Complaint with the Government Records Council due to your failure to comply with law if you do not respond within 24 hours.

Custodians should fulfill a request as soon as possible but NOT LATER THAN SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS after the request is received, provided that the record is currently available and not in storage or archived. N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.i. Day One (1) is the day following the custodian’s receipt of the request. It is the GRC’s position that a custodian’s written response either granting access, denying access, seeking clarification or requesting an extension of time within the statutorily mandated seven (7) business days, even if said response is not on the agency’s official OPRA request form, is a valid response pursuant to OPRA. If the custodian fails to respond to the requestor within seven (7) business days after receiving a request, the FAILURE TO RESPOND will be deemed a denial of the request. N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.i.

Sincerely,

PSNJ, Ironbound Media
