Cease & Desist Letters We Have Received

Lawyers seem to love Cease & Desist Letters but they don't seem to put much research into the facts behind them. It seems their primary concern is the billable hour they get for the piece of fiction.
We have received Cease & Desist letters alleging defamation about postings on our website from lawyers representing Grand West Financial, Rocky Mountain Construction, Summit Crest Homes, Re-Bath, De Novo Legal, and Sykel Fabrics, to name a few. We include all of the cease and desist letters here because they are so similar. We also have a Colorado Court of Appeals decision directly concerning our website and how it falls under the First Amendment as protected speech. It seems that Barbara Robbins (now Barbara Asbury) did not like us saying her nickname was "peanut butter legs" and so she sued us for defamation. In the Kangaroo Court proceeding presided over by Judge Kenneth Plotz, Barbara cried on the witness stand and her lawyer, M James Zendejas, suborned perjury from his client. Judge Kenneth Plotz anounced his retirement two weeks after the decision by the Court of Appeals.

If you are a lawyer contemplating sending us a Cease & Desist letter, you should delve deeply into the facts before signing your name to it. Trust us - it will not scare us.

Sykel Fabrics & Sy Garfinkel

Who is Sykel Fabrics and their moron president, Sy Garkinkel? Sykel markets a variety of fabrics. They don't want their fabrics re-sold on the internet unless the re-seller uses a specific disclaimer and they, Sykel and Sy Garfinkel, hound and threaten re-sellers into complying. But, there is no legal requirement for anyone to comply with the outrageous demands of Sy Garfinkel and we have told him so. We also nomintated him for the Pompous Twit of the Year Award, which we are happy to report, he was the unanamous winner for 2005. We also put Sy and his company on our Trademark Hall of Shame. Sy had his New York lawyer threaten us.

De Novo Legal, LLP
George Rikos, Esq
Law Offices of George Rikos

Letter from George Rikos, Esq,, of San Diego, CA, representing De Novo Legal, LLP (Cyber Cops), member of the Tabberone Trademark & Copyright Abusers' Hall Of Shame, and Pollie Gautsch, whom we call a bottom-feeder, received on March 28, 2008.
Our Response to George Rikos, Esq,, on March 31, 2008. We have no idea why Geoge thought we would stop saying nasty things about Pollie. What we do not understand is why De Nove Legal hired this loser, George Rikos, Esq, when both Maria Johnson, Esq. and Pollie Alisa Gautsch, Esq., are lawyers? Do they consider themselves to be incompetent?

Re-Bath, LLC
David Rosenblum
David Rosenblum & Associates

ReBath never contacted us after we complained to them but they did contact some nimrod, half-baked lawyer, David Rosenblum of David Rosenblum & Associates, P.C., based in some Pennsylvania town called Trevose. lawyer who sent us a threatening letter on January 23, 2007.
We do not know what we said in our response that bothered Davey, but we never heard from him again. We certainly hope we did not upset him.

We also received a cease and desist email from Precious Moments in 2002. They objected to us using their licensed fabrics to make and then sell items. We never heard from them again after we emailed them back pointing out that they had already lost that issue in 1997 in federal court in Precious Moments vs La Infantil, 971 F. Supp. 66 (D.P.R. 1997).
