Case No. BC 184 355 186 168 196 402 JOINDER AND
OPPOSITION OF DEFENDANT ROBERT J. CIPRIANO IN SUPPORT OF
PLAINTIFF GRAHAM E. BERRY'S OPPOSITION TO PETITION TO FIND GRAHAM
E. BERRY TO BE A VEXATIOUS LITIGANT; REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE OF
HEARING Date: August 20, 1999 Time: 8:30 a.m. Dept: 35
Discovery Cutoff: None Motion Cutoff: None Trial Date: None
TO THE HONORABLE COURT AND TO ALL COUNSEL OF RECORD:
Defendant ROBERT J. CIPRIANO hereby files
this Joinder in Support of Plaintiff's Opposition to Petition to
Find Graham E. Berry to be a Vexatious Litigant.
This Joinder in Support of Plaintiff's Opposition is based upon Plaintiff's Opposition papers and the Declaration of Robert J. Cipriano and Exhibits attached hereto.
This Joinder is also supported by the motion Plaintiff will file prior to the hearing herein for: (1) an order to show cause why the named Defendants and their counsel herein should not be held in contempt; (2) sanctions pursuant to C.C.P. 128.5 and 128.7, including monetary sanctions, evidentiary sanctions, and terminating sanctions; (3) vacation of all pleadings and papers filed by the named Defendants and the orders issued herein as a result thereof; (4) disqualification of all counsel for the named Defendants herein; (5) request for referral of the relevant matters to the United States Attorney, the District Attorney and the California State Bar.
This opposition is further based upon the declaration and exhibits attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
As set forth in paragraph 3 of my declaration, dated July 13, 1999, and attached hereto as Exhibit "A", I am terrified of what Eugene Ingram and Kendrick Moxon and others involved with the Church of Scientology may do to me, as soon as they are aware of my truthful testimony herein. Accordingly, I have delayed filing this opposition and Joinder until more appropriate arrangements can be made for my personal security and safety, and my cooperation with law enforcement authorities in connection with Defendants and their counsel's criminal conduct as set forth in my declaration and exhibits attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
Accordingly, I request that the hearing on my former counsel's
petition to find Graham E. Berry to be a vexatious litigant be
continued until such time as it can be
determined concurrently with Plaintiff's soon to be filed motion for an order to show cause re contempt, as set forth above.
DATED: August 12, 1999 Respectfully Submitted
