I've reviewed our files and we were not involved in the permitting of the wall or the fence. It seems
like the forms should go to building inspections, maybe Tim Oates.

Mr Dodd,

I work with Robert Rucker, whom I believe you have spoken with previously regarding a pending suit
originating in the City of Coppell. Our Firm represents the Johnsons who have been sued by their
neighbor, Timothy Pletta, over a boundary issue. Allegedly, the Johnson's reconstructed fence and
retaining wall encroach upon Mr. Pletta's property.
Mr. Pletta has filed a summary judgment and essentially is trying to assert himself in the role of the
City of Coppell; that is, he is alleging that the court should grant his motion because the Johnsons
failed to comply with city ordinances such as obtaining building permits. Albeit after the fact, the
Johnsons applied for and received building permits from the City for the construction of the fence and
retaining wall.
Would you be willing to help us obtain an affidavit from a City employee that basically states that Mr.
Pletta is not an employee of the City and has no authority to assert himself in the role of the City? In
addition, the affidavit would address the fact that the City has issued building permits to the
Johnsons.
We would appreciate your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Michele Sparkman
