To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Open Public Records Act ("OPRA"), I hereby request the following records:

A list of all requests filed with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission under New Jersey's Open Public Records Act (OPRA) during the year 2013. For each request, the list should contain the identity of the requester, the date of the request, a description of the requested records, and the status of the request.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Beryl C.D. Lipton

This is a follow up to request number C86454:

Hello Mr. Bruno,

Thank you for your response to my request for the Department of Motor
Vehicle Commission's log of 2013 OPRA requests. I hope that you can
please clarify the reasons for which the request has been rejected.

It seems as though the list of requests, their statuses, and the other
basic data necessary for inventory and organizational purposes (the
agency’s OPRA log) is a standard government public record. As such it
should be available under OPRA. As indicated on page 7 of the New Jersey
Open Public Records Act Handbook for Records Custodians, “All
government records are subject to public access unless specifically
exempt under OPRA or any other law.” I don’t see the record in
question as being specifically exempted by the case to which you
referred nor was it covered by the specific exemptions contained in
OPRA; the exemption for “information which, if disclosed would give an
advantage to competitors” does not seem to apply in this case.

Page six of the attached version of the case referred to in your
response (Gannett N.J. Partners, LP v. Cnty. of Middlesex, 379 N.J.
Super. 205, 212 (App. Div 2005)) includes the reasoning mentioned in
your rejection, specifically that “‘OPRA does not authorize a party
to make a blanket request for every document a public agency has
provided another party in response to an OPRA request,’ nor does it
permit requests that would reveal ‘the nature and scope of a third
party’s inquiry to a government agency.’” My request for the OPRA
log does not ask for the documents provided to another agency. It would
not be reasonable to assume that by obtaining a list of requests one
would be able to determine the nature of another party’s interest and
purpose in requesting particular documents. The idea, it seems to me, is
that by obtaining all of the primary documents requested by a third
party, one could then determine the nature and scope, which may also be
unreasonable attitude, though is not relevant in this matter. I think
along those lines, the idea of “advantage to competitors” based on
the release of the OPRA log is a stretch, particularly considering that
the log should be publicly available to all.

If you could clarify these points, I would appreciate it. I understand
that the appropriate channel of appeal would be the Government Records
Council, but the chance to understand the reasoning for denial would be
helpful for all.

Sincerely,

Beryl C.D. Lipton

This is a follow up to request number C86454:

Hello,

Yesterday, the case Scheeler v. Office of the Governor, et. al. was
settled in Mercer County Superior Court. The case was in regards to the
denials of release of OPRA logs by New Jersey state agencies (as
occurred with this request), and the court ruled in favor of the release
of the records. (For reports regarding this ruling please see:
https://www.aclu-nj.org/news/2014/07/21/judge-orders-christie-administration-release-records
;
http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/ap/new-jersey-judge-to-decide-if-opra-requests-are-public/article_e155754c-10c0-11e4-955f-001a4bcf887a.html?utm_content=buffer157e5&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer).

As indicated by this ruling, the denial that your agency provided me
was unwarranted and I would appreciate the release of the requested
material before any further undue inconvenience is incurred.

Thank you so much for your time and help,

Beryl C.D. Lipton

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Open Public Records Act ("OPRA"), I hereby request the
following records:

A list of all requests filed with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle
Commission under New Jersey's Open Public Records Act (OPRA) during the
year 2013. For each request, the list should contain the identity of the
requester, the date of the request, a description of the requested
records, and the status of the request.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this
request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made
available to the general public free of charge as part of the public
information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of
the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and
not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you
would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my
request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail
attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I
look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7
business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Beryl C.D. Lipton
