On February 9, 1982, Complainant filed a "Petition for Supplemental Order and for Interim Order Based on Breach of Consent Agreement" in which it alleges that Respondent has breached the terms of a Consent Agreement executed by James Walter Essex on April 28, 1981.

In its Petition, Complainant sought the issuance of a temporary detention order against the above name and address. On the basis of information attached to the Petition, a temporary detention order was issued on February 10, 1982. The Order authorizing the temporary detention of Respondent's mail granted Respondent a period of 10 days in which to file a reply to Complainant's Petition. No reply has been filed by Respondent. In the absence of a reply, the allegations of the Petition are deemed to be admitted.

Complainant has made a prima facie showing that Respondent has breached the Consent Agreement in the manner alleged in the Petition. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the Consent Agreement, an Order under 39 U.S.C. § 3005 is being issued contemporaneously with this Decision.
