Appearance - LaLonde.pdf;

Tim,

The owner mailed in a petition to the MTT and subsequently reached out to me for help with the appeal.

I called the Tribunal today and they received his mailed petition, but have not yet assigned a docket number.

A copy of the Appearance is attached for your reference.

Once a docket number is assigned and you have filed your answer, I would like to discuss a potential stipulation, if you are open to that.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
