Mike B has alleged many things about me yet provided no specifics
or proof.

Since I cannot contact you directly, whomever you are, I have
contacted law enforcement and hope that they will review the
retaliatory eviction proceedings as well as my civil suit against
Michael E Becnel while reviewing the information I have compiled
over the last number of years.

How is the lawn care service working out for you?
