To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to Open Public Records Act ("OPRA"), I hereby request the following records:
All the pet licensing data, including breed and animal names, for Camden.
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,
Curtis Raye

The request for "All the pet licensing data, including breed and animal names" is an impermissible request under OPRA it is too broad and inspecific.
Accordingly, the request is hereby DENIED, based on the GRC's Final Decision in Rory Moore v. Township of Nutley, Complaint No. 2010-110, and all pertinent case law governing this particular request, including, without limitation, MAG Entertainment, LLC v. Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J.Super. 534 (App.Div. 2005) and Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J.Super 30 (App.Div. 2005).

Ms. Ruiz,
I apologize for the request being too broad. The data I'm interested is a spreadsheet with the names of all dogs licensed in Camden. If I limit the request to that, will that satisfy your requirements?
Thank you,
