September 2, 2021 Filing 12 LETTER from R. Pearson dated 8/25/21 re: The reason for me sending this letter to you is because I have come back to this address, The Orange County Jail, Goshen, New York 10924 etc. When I was at the Central New York Psychiatric Center, the Clerk of Court sent me letter saying that they were denying my case because I did not send them the paperwork in time. The Court mailed the paperwork around the same time that I went to the psychiatric center; and the jail did not mail the papers to me. So how can you deny my case and for what reason?
