Attn: FOIA Officer
Subject: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request – Records of Individuals Banned from the State House in Trenton, NJ
Dear FOIA Officer,
Under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, I hereby request access to and copies of records held by the New Jersey State Police pertaining to individuals who have been banned from the State House in Trenton, NJ from January 1, 2020, to the current date.
For the purpose of this request, the records I seek include, but are not limited to:
All written orders or directives issued regarding banishment or barring from the State House.
Any internal memos, emails, or communications regarding specific instances of individuals being banned from the State House, including the dates of these instances and the reasons for banishment, if recorded.
Records pertaining to instances where individuals were formally notified of their banishment from the State House.
Should any portion of the requested records be deemed exempt from disclosure, I request the release of any reasonably segregable non-exempt portions in accordance with 5 U.S.C. § 552(b). If an entire document is exempt, I request a justification, citing specific FOIA exemptions, and provision of an exemption log as per Vaughn v. Rosen, 484 F.2d 820 (D.C. Cir. 1973).
Please note your obligation under the law not to destroy any records potentially responsive to this request. Any withholding, redaction, or destruction of responsive records without proper justification constitutes a violation of the FOIA and is subject to litigation, as confirmed in Kissinger v. Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, 445 U.S. 136, 150 (1980).
Enclosed is a letter requesting a fee waiver for the processing of this request. As an independent investigative journalist associated with TransparencyReport.pw, I believe that the information I seek is in the public interest and its disclosure contributes significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government.
If the enclosed waiver is not accepted and there are any potential charges in excess of $200 associated with fulfilling my request, please inform me in advance.
As stipulated by the FOIA, I look forward to your response within twenty business days (5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A)(i)).
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Jordan Lassiter
