- Notice of Docket Entry: The court requests that counsel provide a copy of the written authorization provided by the Department of Revenue to the town of Winchendon to assess the property at issue here as "owner unknown" in 1987 and 1988.

- Event Resulted: Status Conference scheduled on: 10/27/2022 11:00 AM Has been: Held via video. Attorney Scott C. Owens appeared for plaintiff and no appearance was made by or on behalf of defendants. The court outlined several issues in this case, including the lack of evidence of Department of Revenue ("DOR") approval to assess the property to "owners unknown," the failure to obtain a thorough title examination before approving the request for alternative service, and the fact that the description of the property in the instrument of taking may be inadequate. In the instrument of taking here, there is no deed description and no deed reference, and the assessor's map that is referenced does not contain metes and bounds. Furthermore, the area described in subsequent instruments varies by about one acre, which is beyond the margin of error of 1,000 sq. ft. generally accepted by the Land Court. In response to the court's inquiry, Attorney Owens stated that he intends to contact DOR to see what records they have, and that he will engage a professional title examiner to conduct a title examination. The court set a deadline for January 4, 2023 for Attorney Owens to email a status report to Clerk Hayes. Email notice to: Attorney Scott C. Owens. Hon. Jennifer S.D. Roberts, Presiding
