Township Council Meeting — Agenda

PER CURIAM Plaintiff Kevin Malanga filed a verified complaint claiming defendants Township of West Orange and Karen J. Carnevale, in her official capacity as the Township's municipal clerk and custodian of records, violated the Open Public Records Act (OPRA), N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 to - 13, and his common law right of access to government records by denying his request for unredacted copies of thirty-three emails. The Township claimed the emails are protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege and the advisory, consultative, and deliberative exception to the definition of government records under OPRA. Plaintiff appeals from a December 27, 2019 order granting defendants summary judgment dismissal of the complaint and denying his cross-motion for summary judgment. We reverse in part the court's order granting defendants summary judgment, vacate in part the court's order granting defendants summary judgment, affirm the court's order denying plaintiff's cross-motion for summary judgment, and remand for further proceedings.
