    Re: Borough of West Easton


    Our File No. 2016-05-02

    Dear Ms. Mezzacappa:

    It has come to my attention that you recently spoke with representatives of


    the Borough of West Easton and indicated that you may be obtaining a pig and/or
    you have already obtained a pig.

    As you are aware, there is an ordinance which specifically addresses this


    issue. In fact, this was an exhibit that you introduced at the non-jury trial on
    October 9, 2018. The purpose of this correspondence is to advise you as to the
    ordinance (which you already know). Further, the purpose of this correspondence
    is to information you that you are not permitted to have a pig, and, if you violate
    the ordinance, the Borough will be forced to enforce the ordinance.

    On behalf of West Easton, it is unclear why you would knowingly violate an


    ordinance. Furthermore, it appears that you are doing this to instigate litigation. I
    note that you have posted to the West Easton Facebook page the following:

    “TriciaJenn Too little too late pals...had one for 15 years


    here on Ridge Street, and just got myself another one.
    What are you going to do about it?”
    It is as if you want to continue to litigate with the Borough.

    Accordingly, in light of the ordinance, please do not take steps to violate the
    ordinance. Thank you.

    Respectfully yours,
