POSTAL SERVICE DECISION ON BREACH OF
AGREEMENT CONTAINING CONSENT ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST
On August 30, 1993, Complainant filed a petition alleging that Respondent has breached the terms of an Agreement Containing Consent Order to Cease and Desist executed on September 22, 1992. In the Petition, Complainant contends that Respondent has breached the terms of the Agreement by engaging in a work-at-home envelope stuffing program using representations which he agreed to discontinue. The name and address to which Respondent currently seeks remittances and against which a false representation order is requested to be issued is Olson International, P. O. Box 1375, Snohomish, WA 98291-1375.
On August 31, an Interim Detention Order as authorized by Paragraph 8 of the Agreement was issued directing the detention of mail to the above name and address. Respondent filed a timely reply in which he did not challange any of the allegations contained in the Petition and further stated he had discontinued his business and did not object to the issuance of the false representation order requested by Complainant. Complainant's allegations, supported by the attachments to the petition, which are not opposed by Respondent, make a prima facie showing that Respondent has breached the terms of the Agreement in the manner alleged in the Petition.
Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 8 of the Agreement, a false representation order as described in 39 U.S.C. § 3005(a) is issued with this Decision.
