Email Body
The topography report you, Brett, provided is missing multiple parts of the report. https://prnt.sc/5VAaSTZ_h9_S
It should be like this below. Can I please have it? You paid $ 8,000 - the policyholder should at least receive the correct documents that my policy covered.
Why won't you provide it? Why would you want to keep hiding this?

Sarah,
The topography report was already provided by Gaddy and I emailed to you as well. The topography report, further, has no impact on the new boundary line; it was a requirement for the plat to be submitted. The cantilever was not snuck in; it was holding up the plat and opposing counsel demanded it both sides had numerous revisions and demands regarding the plat and the topography report and we spent extensive time meeting about the same.
Case status: I did not close the case. I didnt file a case disposition form; the staff attorney did. The Order states, clearly, that the case is administratively stayed which the Judge required per the last hearing on the same. I have not taken any improper action in this matter. Further, the matter is settled per the settlement agreement read into the May 2024 transcript, as amended by substituting a survey for plat reconfiguration per Gaddys requirement and your request to proceed with using Gaddy for this resolution. Accordingly, the fence relocation cant occur until the Plat is approved.
I have been transparent throughout this process and advocated for you every step of the way. You also have private counsel in this matter; my retention was technically limited to the encroachments which are resolved by the new boundary line.
I am happy to set up a call with you, Jeff, and David to discuss next steps if youd like.

I don't understand why my council, which paid $8000, still won't provide me with a correctly signed topography report with a correct legend and all the trees labeled. Could you please get that for me?
Why can't I get it?
You will help the opposing party him schedule time for a surveyor that has been to his property multiple times - Both parties clearly knew this was left off for 8 months, and sneak in a request directly to the surveyor before you closed the case....
I dunno, I guess you just felt like hiding it and not informing the policyholder of the truth..
The case is closed - and it has your name on it...This was confirmed with the court; it is closed and not on the judge's docket. According to the court, you didn't follow the court's instructions.
It is not protocol to close a case and then attempt to go back with a settlement agreement. He's been trespassing on my property for 4 years. He needs to move the fence; he is violating the court transcript.

Sarah,
I had nothing to do with the cantilever; this was brought to my attention by opposing counsel and she asked Gaddy to revise the plat so the structure was accurate. As for Todd, I did not retain his services Gaddy did and I have not been involved in the approval/submission process; this is why we paid Gaddy to handle it on your behalf. As for the cantilever, it has no bearing on the settlement at all and was not kept from you. The plat should be accurate and Gaddy acknowledged that he missed it. Further, I have not hid anything from you. On the contrary, I have been trying to work with you to review/revise the settle
