Under OPRA, access to government records are not denied by a government entity where the requestor is already in possession of the document being sought. Bart v. City of Paterson Housing Authority, 403 N.J. Super. 609, 618 (App. Div. 2008). Accordingly, government entities are “not required to produce records already in the requestor's possession.” Garcia v. Bergen Cnty. Prosecutor’s Office, 2019 N.J. Super. Unpub. LEXIS 1139 at *19 (Docket No. A-3085-16T3, A-4501-16T3).

We therefore decline to provide the requested records on the basis of the above.
