INITIAL DECISION (AMENDED)
On December 11, 2001, one day after the Initial Decision was issued, Ms. Gordon filed a letter and some attached documents, in response to material submitted earlier by Mr. Lenox on behalf of SJW, LLC. On review of the dates when various filings were received, I have determined that Ms. Gordon's December 11 submission was filed within the 10-day period allowed by the rules for reply comments, 39 C.F.R. §965.6. Accordingly, I have reviewed the entire case file and considered Ms. Gordon's December 11 submission.[1]
The Initial Decision is reaffirmed. As stated therein, this decision deals only with delivery of the mail. As is often the case, much of the dispute is over who is entitled to checks that may be contained in various pieces of mail. However, for the reasons stated in the Initial Decision, SJW is entitled to delivery of the disputed mail.
The time for filing an appeal under 39 C.F.R. §965.12 is extended to ten (10) days from receipt of this amended decision.
