Thompson Dear Mr. Klein I am enclosing a photocopy of a notice that has made its way to my office. Our firm represents Carolyn L. Thompson who was formerly doing business as C&J Enterprises, a sole proprietorship. She never did business as Printed Image, and from what I can determine, John Thompson, her husband, was not an owner in the business. We have filed a bankruptcy on behalf of Carolyn L. Thompson, formerly doing business as C&J Enterprises. A copy of the cover page is enclosed. I cannot control what you do regarding the other defendants, but to the extent that you have any action "Carolyn L. Thompson d/b/a C&J Enterprises a/k/a Printed Image" 11 U.S.C. 9362(a) prohibits any action against Carolyn Thompson or any name under which she did business. Please call me if you would like to discuss this. If you have entered judgment in the meantime, I must request that you file a Praecipe to withdraw the judgment against my client.
