    (a) Upon evidence satisfactory to the Postal Service that any person

    of the claimant's identity and right to receive the mail.

    (b) The Postal Service may issue an order directing that mail, 
covered by subsection (a) of this section, be forwarded to a dead letter 
office as fictitious matter, or be returned to the sender when--
        (1) the party claiming the mail fails to furnish proof of his 
    identity and right to receive the mail; or
        (2) the Postal Service determines that the mail is addressed to 
    a fictitious, false, or assumed name, title, or address.
