Dear Mr. Esposito,

While preparing myself for the interview which we
were planning, I found the evidence which I needed,
namely that a Registered Professional Engineer is indeed
qualified to give an opinion about a plumbing installation.
That seems to me an inescapable conclusion from the fact
that the Plumbing Code authorizes such an engineer to
design a plumbing installation and relies on his
expert judgment to solve technical problems that are
beyond the competence of the Inspector who is, after all,
only a plumber. 248 CMR 3.04(3)c.4

Therefore I won't at this juncture, proceed with plans for
a deposition, which if it become necessary in the future,
would focus on issues that cannot yet be identified. I'll
keep you informed of the progress of my case, or lack thereof,
and I thank you again, very much for your help.

Sincerely,
Ernst Meyer
