1992 their mailing address was modified by the U.S. Postal
Service. Before 1991, petitioners' mailing address was Route
208, Gardiner, NY 12525 (hereinafter the Route 208 address).
Sometime during January 1991, petitioners were assigned a rural
box number, and their officially preferred mailing address became
Route 208, Box 1370, Gardiner, NY 12525 (hereinafter the Box 1370
address). The rural box number assigned to petitioners was
somewhat like a house number; it did not refer to a post office
box requiring a key. Beginning no later than January 1, 1992, in
order to accommodate implementation of an E-911 Emergency
Notification System, petitioners' rural box number was replaced
with a house number, and their officially preferred mailing
address became 871 Route 208, Gardiner, NY 12525 (hereinafter the
871 address).
Early in 1992, Walker issued notices to Gardiner Postal
Service customers explaining that, although the Postal Service
"has accepted your newly assigned house number as your permanent
mailing address", regardless of the change, the Postal Service
would "continue to deliver all mail without interruption for a
period of one (1) year". The notice further advised customers
that forms for notifying correspondents and publishers of an
address change were available at the Gardiner Post Office.
During 1992 and up until the time of trial, the Gardiner Post
Office delivered mail to customers even if it was addressed to
the old rural box number and not to the addressee's house number.
