To whom it may concern:

Your PomonaVoice.org has been causing a significant amount of controversial conversation on social media. It was because of that ongoing conversation that your website was brought to my attention.

The purpose of this email is to formally and officially place you on notice that, to avoid further action and possible expense, you need to change the name of your website and electronic publication.

The reason for this notice is that your name is misleading and can be or is being easily confused with our name, La Nueva Voz (The New Voice), which, as you may be aware, is Pomona’s ONLY community newspaper.

In addition, La Nueva Voz is properly, formally, and legally registered with a City of Pomona business license, as is required by Municipal Ordinance, and is properly, formally, and legally registered with the County of Los Angeles with a fictitious business statement protecting our name.

Also, everything published in “La Nueva Voz” is protected by the United States Government under Federal Copyright Law - - including the name itself - - and violations of copyright law can easily result in significant fines, recoverable by and payable to our newspaper.

Please cease and desist the use of your business name IMMEDIATELY to avoid possible further action!
