APPEARANCE FOR DISPUTANT

LYNN M. VAYDA:

Lynn M. Vayda

APPEARANCE FOR DISPUTANT

KENNETH VAYDA:

Kenneth Vayda

POSTAL SERVICE DECISION

On December 22, 2005, an Administrative Law Judge issued an Initial Decision in which he concluded that mail addressed to A Guaranteed Pest Control Co., Inc. (“Guaranteed Pest”) at P.O. Box 351, Weatogue, CT, 06089-0351 and to P.O. Box 111578, Stamford, CT 06911-1578 should be delivered as directed by Disputant Lynn M. Vayda. On December 28, 2005, Disputant Kenneth Vayda filed a Purchase and Sale Agreement, which appeared to transfer certain assets of Guaranteed Pest to Mr. Vayda and which was considered an appeal of the Initial Decision. In response to the appeal, Ms. Vayda confirmed she had sold to Mr. Vayda Guaranteed Pest and all of its assets, including the right to use the two post offices boxes that are the addresses in dispute. Accordingly, as the current owner of the company, Kenneth Vayda is entitled to direct delivery of the mail addressed to A Guaranteed Pest Control Co., Inc. at P.O. Box 351, Weatogue, CT, 06089-0351 and at P.O. Box 111578, Stamford, CT 06911-1578.

The parties are reminded that this decision determines only the right to delivery of the mail in dispute not the ownership of the mail. If either party receives mail intended for the other, that party is responsible for forwarding such mail to the intended recipient.
