Porch on The Conglomerate Barks

The Conglomerate v. The Aviators — Small Claims Proceedings

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Procedural History

Original complaint filed (GL-001) → Bark Tribunal verdict issued (TP-001) → Aviators retained external counsel (see CZ-001) → Matter improperly removed to Small Claims Court, Lexington, Kentucky → Chairman appeared under protest, pro se → Verdict issued.

This office notes for the record that the removal of this matter from the Bark Tribunal — a court of proper jurisdiction — to a foreign small claims venue was neither requested by this office nor accepted without formal objection. The Chairman appeared because the Conglomerate does not default. The Conglomerate does not flee. The Conglomerate shows up, in a bathrobe, with documentation in triplicate.

The Conglomerate v. The Aviators

Pre-Trial Filings

The following procedural documents were issued in accordance with Conglomerate judicial requirements:

Document	Status
Notice of Charges — Issued to The Aviators	Not delivered. The accused do not have a postal address. The notice was affixed to the northeast porch pillar. It was absorbed into the nest within forty-eight hours.
Summons to Appear — Issued to The Aviators	Not acknowledged. A copy was read aloud from the porch by the Chairman. The accused responded with chirping, which the Chairman does not accept as a valid RSVP.
Subpoena — Issued to Luna (witness)	Served. The witness consumed the subpoena. A second copy was issued. The witness sat on it. Appearance was secured through the offering of a treat.
Subpoena — Issued to Fava (material witness)	Served. The witness claimed he “didn’t know there was a court.” This has been noted in his personnel file.
Courtroom Sketch Artist — Appointed	Cameras are not permitted in Conglomerate proceedings. An official sketch artist has been appointed. Sketches remain classified pending the Chairman’s review of his jawline.

The Chairman notes that due process has been observed. The fact that the accused are incapable of engaging with due process does not diminish the Conglomerate’s commitment to it.

Situation Report: Porch Pillar Security Assessment

Originally filed 20 April 2025. Digitised from the physical archive by order of the Chairman.

Situation Overview

The Department of Aviator Affairs has completed its quarterly assessment of porch pillar security. The findings are not encouraging.

The aviator presence on the front porch pillars has expanded beyond initial estimates. What was once classified as a minor territorial nuisance has escalated into what can only be described as a permanent occupation.
