Or, Maybe Somebody Actually Reads This Blog

Ch J Michael B (“Iron Mike”) Thornton has a thankless job. He has to deal with hundreds of soul-killing orders, keep the Glasshouse administrative wheels turning but not spinning, and clean up typos.

Well, I spotted a typo last week, and it was a real conversation-stopper, as The Girl of My Dreams (s/a/k/a Nana to two wonderful little girls) is wont to say.

See my blogpost “A Date,” 2/10/16, wherein I discussed the impact of a “conversation easement” [sic] on the New York Environmental Conservation Law.

Well, Ch J Iron Mike puts Judge Marvel right today in Ten Twenty Six Investors, Douglas Oliver, Tax Matters Partner, Docket No. 29483-14, filed 2/16/16.

“ORDERED that the last sentence beginning on page 2 of the Court’s Order, dated February 9, 2016, is amended to read, ‘We have previously held, pursuant to N.Y. Envtl. Conserv. Law sec. 49-0305(4), that a conservation easement is not valid in New York until the instrument creating the easement is recorded.’ In all other respects, the Court’s Order remains in full force and effect.” Order, at p. 1.

Well now, as a former copy editor, I’m glad somebody reads this blog.

And now we don’t have to worry about talking over one another.
