`
`
`Dear Mr. Dymond:
`
`Please accept this letter as GREENE TWEED & CO., INC.’s Product Identification Letter
`
`regarding the above refenced matter. Based upon the discovery that has occurred to date, neither
`Greene Tweed nor its predecessor, Palmetto Packings, has been identified as sources of Troy
`Smith’s alleged exposure to asbestos.
`
`As a result of the lack of any identification or allegations of plaintiff’s exposure to asbestos
`
`from any Greene Tweed or Palmetto product, I ask that you please execute the enclosed “No
`Opposition Summary Judgment Motion and Order”. If you disagree with the proposal for any
`reason, please advise in writing setting forth the basis for any objection, so that we may discuss
`possible alternatives. Also, please be advised that if you fail to respond to this request, an Order
`of Dismissal will be presented to the Court for execution.
`
`If you have no objections and sign the enclosed motion and order, please return to me at
`
`bmt@jordandipalma.com and I will attend to service on all known defendants and file with the
`Court.
