Re: Orchard Apartmea ts v. Lucas
Our File No. 408501
Dear Phil:
Enclosed is a Rule to Show Cause, returnable within ten (10)
days with regard to the above captioned matter. The Rule was
issued pursuant to my filing of a Petition to Return Rent Escrow.
Also be advised that Ms. Lucas abandoned the apartment unit
sometime in August, 2001. I believe the issues raised by the
Complaint in Ejectment are now moot. If you have no objection
to the money being held in rent escrow to be distributed to
Orchard Apartments, would you please file a responsive pleadin~
as soon as possible so that I can remove the money from rent
escrow.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
- Very truly yours,
P.C.
JDC/bam Cunningham
