181207 Karp Decl .Pdf Postal Regulatory Commission Submitted 12/7/2018 11:49:38 AM Filing ID: 107344 Accepted 12/7/2018 1 2 3 4 5 BEFORE THE POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION 6 WASHINGTON, D.C. 7 RANDALL EHRLICH, Docket No.: C2019-1 8 Complainant. DECLARATION OF ADAM P. KARP 9 10 I, ADAM P. KARP, being over 18, of sound mind, and having personal knowledge, 11 declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the following is true and 12 correct: 13 1. I am counsel for complainant Randall Ehrlich. 14 15 2. In the course of my investigation into Tonya Voisine and the Ballard Postal 16 Annex’s abuse of various postal customers on Voisine’s route, I have uncovered the following true 17 copies of statements and documentary evidence acquired through public disclosure, which clearly 18 show that the mistreatment of Mr. Ehrlich states not a singular grievance, but is of broad duration 19 or several residences on her route. 20 3. The first victim of Voisine of the BPA is Peggy Hougardy, a retired private 21 investigator. See Declaration of Peggy Hougardy (KARP 1-6) and Complaint, Paras. 10-23. 22 4. Other victims include Erika and Mark Middlebrooks of 707 NW 58th St., whose 23 statements are attached as KARP 7-10, and supported by neighbors Jeanne McGrady (KARP 27), 24 Urban Waite and Karen Leung-Waite (KARP 11-12). 25 KARP DECLARATION - 1 A NIMAL L AW O FFICES OF ADAM P. KARP, ESQ. 114 W. Magnolia St., Ste. 400-104 Bellingham, WA 98225 (888) 430-0001 Facsimile: (866) 652-3832 [email protected] 5. More victims include Wendy Hamal Redding and Tracy N. Redding of 5505 6th 1 Ave. NW (KARP 13-18), India Ornelas of 5832 7th Ave. NW (KARP 19), Jeremiah Winghart of 2 707 NW 58th St. #2 (KARP 20), Jim Ratti of 5818 7th Ave. NW (KARP 21-22), Valerie Capon 3 th th 4 and Ryota Akamine of 5827 7 Ave. NW (KARP 23-24), Kimberly Arrow of 5509 6 Ave. NW th 5 (KARP 25-26), Matthew Leonard of 5811 6 Ave. NW (KARP 27-28), Melissa Flynn of 5706 6 and 5708 8th Ave. NW (KARP 29), and David and Jacqui Barnes of 5621 6th Ave. NW (KARP 7 30-31). 8 6. Stacia Valley was told by Voisine that if all people with dogs did not follow the 9 rules, she would stop delivering to the entire block. KARP 32. 10 7. Another victim who was assaulted by Voisine requested anonymity due to fear of 11 retaliation. I attach this person’s statement but redacted personal identifying information. Yet, I 12 am prepared to submit an unredacted version under seal for the Commission’s eyes only (not 13 USPS). I do this out of respect for the witness coupled with striving to meet the Commission’s 14 extended deadline (which was one third of that originally requested) and not having adequate time 15 16 to contact this person for further authorization. See KARP 33-34. 17 8. On August 8, 2017, I submitted a public records request to Seattle Animal Control 18 requesting all records pertaining to any complaint concerning Randall Ehrlich of 5833 7th Ave. 19 NW, Seattle. No records were found per KARP 35-36, thus contradicting USPS’s claim that there 20 was any history of complaints to animal control concerning Mr. Ehrlich’s dog. 21 9. On November 11, 2017, I spoke with Heather Coles of 5700 8th Ave. NW. She 22 rented from 2013-2014 and explained that the elderly man who shared her duplex did not get mail 23 due to Voisine’s refusal to deliver, not because Ms. Coles or her immediate neighbor had a dog, 24 but because their immediate neighbor, Daniel Berglund of 5620 8th Ave. NW, did. Ms. Coles spoke 25 KARP DECLARATION - 2 A NIMAL L AW O FFICES OF ADAM P. KARP, ESQ. 114 W. Magnolia St., Ste. 400-104 Bellingham, WA 98225 (888) 430-0001 Facsimile: (866) 652-3832 [email protected] to Voisine, who explained she was almost attacked by a vicious dog from Mr. Berglund’s residence 1 and, as a result, refused to deliver mail to him or me for a ridiculously long period of time. She 2 often went to the postal annex and argued what seemed like for an eternity (the better part of a 3 4 year) to restore mail delivery. She suffered anxiety to pick up mail at the BPA, knowing it would 5 always be a huge confrontation and nothing would happen and sometimes she would be placed on 6 hold indefinitely, only to have someone pickup and then hang up the phone on her moments later. 7 She described it as torture. She never had a dog and described Voisine as unhinged. The only 8 reason mail resumed was after news coverage in 2016 addressing various complaints by 9 individuals such as Mark Middlebrooks. The news pieces may be watched at King 5 from May 11, 10 2016 (https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/no-mail-delivery-in-seattle- 11 neighborhood-for-3-years/281-185128503) and Jun. 3, 2016 12 (https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/more-complaints-about-no-mail-delivery-in- 13 ballard/229523633). Text from those pages are attached as KARP 37-41. 14 10. As part of my further investigation, and speaking on the explicit condition of 15 16 anonymity, a confidential informant at BPA quite familiar with Voisine explained that Voisine is 17 not only regarded as mentally ill by her peers but, in addition to her intimidation of postal 18 customers like Mr. Ehrlich, she has also done violence to fellow postal workers, including the 19 commission of such acts as property destruction, harassment, and physical assault and battery. I 20 also learned that John Bell was the subject of an EEOC complaint by Voisine and her partner 21 Wylice Temple (co-worker at BPA) and that, since then, he was not permitted to even talk to them. 22 Being on eggshells, as it were, he is clearly biased in their favor with respect to Mr. Ehrlich’s 23 complaint. On information and belief, Ms. Temple has falsified information on Voisine’s route to 24 favor Voisine. As part of discovery Mr. Ehrlich wanted to seek in federal court, and hopes to seek 25 KARP DECLARATION - 3 A NIMAL L AW O FFICES OF ADAM P. KARP, ESQ. 114 W. Magnolia St., Ste. 400-104 Bellingham, WA 98225 (888) 430-0001 Facsimile: (866) 652-3832 [email protected] here, I intend to send requests for production to USPS for BPA’s Route Safety Files, Employee 1 Files, Floor Files, and Union Grievances related to Voisine and hereby put USPS on notice that a 2 litigation hold remains in place and no such documents should be tampered with or destroyed. 3 4 11. Mr. Ehrlich’s experience is certainly not isolated. The corruption of BPA runs deep 5 and executive oversight by the PRC is the only recourse Ballard residents may invoke to rectify 6 this longstanding defect in agency governance. 7 Executed this December 7, 2018 in the city of Seattle, Wash. 8 _________________________________ 9 Adam P.

As I walked west on NW 56th St from 3rd Ave NW I encountered the local mail carrier for that area, Tonja Voisine. I know Tonja from previous delivery issues with her in2004 and 2005, after which she rvas disciplined and reh'ained. She no longer delivers to my address. As I passed Tonja on NW 56th St, no words were exchanged. After she went back to het USPS van, which was parked illegally facing west on the sattlrside of the street, I took a photo of her to memorialize the event time. Tonja then drove west and while she was driving she stopped at the intersection of 4th Ave NW and NW 56th St. While she was driving the USPS van, she took a photo of me. I've attached 3 photos as proof of this declaration. Declaration (DCLR) - Page 1of !- KARP 000001 (Attach Additional Pages if Necessary and Number Them.)

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marking: or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

From a financial perspective, the market is flooded with 175,000 newly published books every year, according to the Book Industry Study Group. Conversely, even with the increase of published books the total number of readers declined by 44 million from 2003 to 2004. That’s as if the states of California and Virginia decided to stop reading. Writing books to make money is like going to college to meet women; a lot of people are already trying and there are more efficient ways to accomplish the goal. What’s to be said in defense of writing? The other side of the above statistic is that 175,000 authors publish new books every year.

Library of Congress Catalog card number 72-115033. 2 NOTES Throughout this retyping of an extraordinary collection of data, I have been impressed with the destination of many emigrants to the “Pike’s Peak” gold area. Some have arrived at Old Colorado City, southwest of Colorado Springs; some came by way of the Arkansas River, arriving at Fountain City, now part of Pueblo; some arrived in what is now Denver; some arrived far north of Denver, having followed the South Platte River. Many were walking or guiding slow- moving animals. The view to the south from downtown Denver, on a clear day, reveals the magnificent peak, but it is 70 miles away. From Pueblo County, the view northward is nearly as distant, both very impressive walks from Denver, with or without teams of animals.
