Agreement, and foment litigation, hatred and ill-will toward plaintiff.
2. More than seven years ago, plaintiff Church of Scientology International ("CSI") entered into the Agreement with Armstrong, on its own behalf and for the benefit of numerous third-party beneficiaries. The Agreement provided for a mutual release and waiver of all claims arising out of a cross-complaint which defendant Armstrong had filed in the case of Church of Scientology of California v. Gerald Armstrong, Los Angeles Superior Court No. C 420153. Armstrong, a former Church member who sought, by both litigation and covert means, to disrupt the activities of his former faith, displayed through the years an intense and abiding hatred for the Church, and an eagerness to annoy and harass his former co-religionists by spreading enmity and hatred among members and former members. Plaintiff sought with the Agreement to end all of Armstrong's covert activities against it, along with the litigation itself. For that reason, the Agreement contained carefully negotiated and agreed-upon confidentiality provisions and provisions prohibiting Armstrong from fomenting litigation against plaintiff by third parties. These provisions were bargained for by plaintiff to put an end to the enmity and strife generated by Mr. Armstrong once and for all.
he finished spending the money he extracted from plaintiff as the price of his signature, Armstrong began a systematic campaign to foment litigation against plaintiff by providing confidential information, copies of the Agreement, declarations, and "paralegal" assistance to litigants actively engaged in litigation against his former adversaries. Although plaintiff has repeatedly demanded that Armstrong end his constant and repeated breach of the provisions of the Agreement, Armstrong appears to delight in renewing his annoying and harassing activities, admitting to them in sworn declarations, and refusing to end his improper liaisons.
4. With this Complaint, plaintiff seeks the Court's aid in obtaining the peace for which it bargained more than seven years ago. Plaintiff requests liquidated damages pursuant to the terms of the Agreement from Armstrong and his sham corporate alter ego, the Gerald Armstrong Corporation ("GAC"), as well as injunctive relief to prevent additional and future breaches of the Agreement by Armstrong.
5. Plaintiff Church of Scientology International is a non-profit religious corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of California, having its principal offices in Los Angeles, California. Plaintiff CSI is the Mother Church of the Scientology religion.
6. Defendant Gerald Armstrong is a resident of Marin County, California.
incorporated under the laws of the State of California, having its principal offices in San Anselmo, California.
8. Defendant Armstrong is the principal shareholder in GAC and its sole employee, and has been since the incorporation of GAC in 1987.
9. Defendant GAC is, and at all times since its incorporation was, the alter ego of defendant Armstrong and there exists, and at all times since GAC's incorporation has existed, a unity of interest and ownership between these two defendants such that any separateness between them has ceased to exist, in that defendant Armstrong caused his own personal assets to be transferred to GAC without adequate consideration, in order to evade payment of his lawful obligations, and defendant Armstrong has completely controlled, dominated, managed and operated GAC since its incorporation for his own personal benefit.
10. Defendant GAC is, and at all times herein mentioned was, a mere shell, instrumentality and conduit through which defendant Armstrong carried on his activities in the corporate name exactly as he conducted it previous to GAC's incorporation, exercising such complete control and dominance of such activities to such an extent that any individuality or separateness of defendant GAC and defendant Armstrong does not, and at all relevant times mentioned herein, did not exist.
described herein, and with the intention of preventing plaintiff from obtaining monetary relief from Armstrong pursuant to the liquidated damages clause. GAC exists solely so that Armstrong may be "judgment proof."
12. On or about December 6, 1986, CSI and Armstrong entered into a written confidential settlement Agreement, a true and correct copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit [A], and incorporated herein by reference.
13. The Agreement was entered into by plaintiff and defendant Armstrong, with the participation of their respective counsel after full negotiation. Each provision of the Agreement was carefully framed by the parties and their counsel to accurately reflect the agreement of the parties.
14. Plaintiff specifically negotiated for and obtained from Armstrong the provisions in the Agreement delineated in paragraphs 7(D), 7(H), 7(G), 10 and paragraphs 12 through 18, because it was well aware, through investigation, that Armstrong had undertaken a series of covert activities, apart from the litigation, which were intended by Armstrong to discredit Church leaders, spark government raids into the Churches, create phony "evidence" of wrongdoing against the Churches, and, ultimately, destroy the Churches and their leadership.
15. Contemporaneously with the signing of the Agreement, Armstrong represented that he understood the Agreement's provisions and was acting of his own free will and not under duress.
pay to Armstrong's attorney, Michael Flynn, a lump sum amount intended to settle not just Armstrong's case, but the cases of other clients of Mr. Flynn as well, and that Mr. Flynn would pay to Armstrong a portion of that settlement amount. The exact amount of the portion to be paid to Armstrong by Mr. Flynn was maintained as confidential between Mr. Flynn and Armstrong.
17. CSI paid to Mr. Flynn the lump sum settlement amount.
18. Mr. Flynn paid to Armstrong his confidential portion of the lump sum settlement amount, which was at least $520,000, after expenses.
obligations pursuant to the Agreement.
20. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
21. Vicki and Richard Aznaran ("the Aznarans") are former Scientology parishioners currently engaged in litigation against, inter alia, RTC and CSI, in the case of Vicki J. Aznaran, et al. v. Church of Scientology of California, et al., United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. CV 88-1786 JMI (Ex).
22. In June, 1991, the Aznarans discharged their attorney, Ford Greene, and retained attorney Joseph A. Yanny to represent them.
24. In July, 1991, Armstrong agreed to travel from Marin County to Los Angeles and asked Yanny to pay him $500 for his proposed help.
25. In July, 1991, Armstrong did travel to Los Angeles as he had agreed, stayed with Yanny on July 15 and July 16, 1991, and provided Yanny with paralegal assistance and a declaration for the Aznaran case.
26. Yanny is former counsel to CSI, and his substitution into the case was vacated by the Court sua sponte on July 24, 1991, the Court noting that Yanny's retention as the Aznarans' counsel was "highly prejudicial" to CSI.
27. Armstrong's acceptance of employment by Yanny to work on the Aznarans' litigation is a direct violation of Paragraphs 7(G) and 10 of the Agreement.
28. As a direct and proximate result of Armstrong's breach of the agreement by providing paralegal assistance to Yanny in the Aznarans' litigation, plaintiff has incurred damages which are not presently calculable. In no event, however, are they less than the jurisdictional minimum of this Court. Consequently, for this breach plaintiff seeks compensatory and consequential damages according to proof.
29. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
Armstrong as well, CSI brought suit against Yanny in the case of Religious Technology Center, et al. v. Joseph A. Yanny, et al., Los Angeles Superior Court No. BC 033035 ("RTC v. Yanny"). In that action, plaintiff sought and obtained a Temporary Restraining Order and a Preliminary Injunction against Yanny, which prohibit Yanny from aiding, advising, or representing, directly or indirectly, the Aznarans or Armstrong, on any matters relating to the plaintiff.
31. At the hearings before the Court on the temporary restraining order and the injunction, Yanny filed two declarations prepared and executed by Armstrong on July 16, 1991. The declarations were offered by Yanny as part of Yanny's defense, which was ultimately rejected by the Court when it issued its injunction.
32. Armstrong's aid to Yanny in the RTC v. Yanny case is a direct violation of Paragraphs 7(G) and 10 of the Agreement.
33. Armstrong attached as an exhibit to one of his July 16, 1991 declarations a copy of the Agreement, the terms of which he had agreed, pursuant to paragraph 18(D), to keep confidential. This disclosure of the terms of the Agreement is a violation of its non-disclosure provisions, requiring that Armstrong pay to CSI $50,000 in liquidated damages.
34. Despite demand by plaintiff, Armstrong has failed and refused to pay them the $50,000 owed in liquidated damages for this breach of the Agreement.
inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
36. After Yanny's substitution into the Aznarans' case was summarily vacated, Ford Greene was reinstated as Aznarans' counsel of record. Ford Greene's law offices are located in San Anselmo, California.
37. On or about August, 1991, Armstrong began working in Ford Greene's office as a paralegal on the Aznarans' case. When, thereafter, the Aznarans hired attorney John Elstead to represent them as well, Armstrong provided paralegal services to Elstead as well as Greene. Armstrong's employment in Greene's office has continued to the present. Armstrong's activities constitute a daily and continuing breach of his contract, rendering plaintiff's bargain a nullity.
38. Plaintiff CSI has already incurred, and continues to incur, damages as a direct and proximate result of Armstrong's provision of aid to Greene in the Aznarans' case. Those damages are not presently calculable and will cease only when Armstrong is ordered to stop his improper conduct. In no event, however, are they less than the jurisdictional minimum of this Court. Consequently, for this breach plaintiff seeks compensatory and consequential damages according to proof.
39. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34 and 36-38, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
declaration, dated August 26, 1991, and filed in the Aznarans' case. In that declaration, Armstrong describes some of his alleged experiences with and concerning plaintiff, and purports to authenticate copies of certain documents. These actions and disclosures are violations of paragraphs 7(G), 7(H) and 10 of the Agreement, requiring that Armstrong pay to CSI $50,000 in liquidated damages.
41. Despite demand by plaintiff, Armstrong has failed and refused to comply with the liquidated damages provision by paying $50,000 to plaintiff as demanded for this breach of the Agreement.
42. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38 and 40-41, inclusive, and incorporates them hereby reference.
a) "Can the Scientology organization purchase the free speech rights of Gerald Armstrong-the former in-house biographer researcher/archivist of cult leader, L. Ron Hubbard ..."
continue lying about the accomplishments Hubbard claimed to the public at large."
d) "Armstrong is resisting Scientology's high-powered attack in an effort to affirm his right to free speech to maintain vigilance for the truth."
e) "(Scientology is) fabricating false scenarios in other court proceedings that Armstrong was an agent of the IRS out to destroy it."
"After Armstrong beat Scientology's lawsuit against him in 1984, he was poised to prosecute his own claims. For millions of dollars, however, in 1986 Scientology settled with he and over 17 other Scientology knowledgeable individuals on the condition that those persons would forever keep silent, avoid giving sworn testimony by evading subpoenas, and never aid or assist anyone adverse to Scientology."
The distribution of the press release violated the provisions of paragraphs 7(D) and 18 of the Agreement.
45. By reason of the foregoing breach by Armstrong, plaintiff is entitled to $50,000 in liquidated damages and compensatory damages not presently known but believed to be in excess of the jurisdictional minimum of this Court.
46. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41 and 43-45, inclusive, and incorporates them hereby by reference.
47. On or about March 19 and 20, 1992, Armstrong and Greene, acting as Armstrong's agent, granted the media additional interviews, which also violated paragraph 2 of the Agreement. During the course of his interview with the Cable News Network, for example, Armstrong stated, "I'm an expert in the misrepresentations Hubbard has made about himself from the beginning of Dianetics until the day he died." Attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit [C] is a true and correct transcription of the CNN broadcast which featured this statement made voluntarily by Armstrong in a media interview.
48. By reason of the foregoing breach of the Agreement, plaintiff is entitled to $50,000 in liquidated damages.
49. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 43-45 and 47-48, inclusive and incorporates them herein by reference.
50. On or about February, 1992, Armstrong agreed to appear voluntarily as an "expert witness" in litigation known as Hunziker v. Applied Materials, No. 692629 S.C.S.C (the "Hunziker case"). The alleged subject of his "expertise" was Scientology. The defendants named in the Hunziker case include, inter alia, World Institute of Scientology Enterprises, Inc., which is a Scientology affiliated entity protected by the Agreement.
history and experiences with plaintiff and with other Scientology entities and individuals protected by the Agreement, and offered to appear for the plaintiffs as an "expert" on the subject of Scientology practices and beliefs.
52. On March 3, 1992, Armstrong voluntarily, and without the issuance of a subpoena by anyone, appeared for deposition in the Hunziker case and accepted a fee for his testimony from the defendants in that case of $1,000. During the course of the deposition, which lasted for approximately four hours, Armstrong testified at length concerning his alleged experiences with and concerning plaintiff and other Scientology affiliated entities and individuals protected by the Agreement, and concerning knowledge and information which he claimed to have concerning plaintiff and other Scientology affiliated entities and individuals.
53. During his deposition on March 3, 1992, Armstrong produced documents which he claimed to have reviewed in preparation for his testimony, in violation of paragraph 7(D) of the Agreement.
issued in this case. On March 8, 1992, Armstrong delivered additional documents to Elstead, again in violation of paragraph 7(D) of the Agreement.
55. Plaintiff learned in April, 1992, through review of the aforesaid deposition transcript, that since the signing of the Agreement, Armstrong had "taken it upon [him]self" to reacquire documents which he had previously returned to plaintiff "from whatever source." He produced many of those documents voluntarily, first to Elstead on March 8, 1992, and then to opposing counsel during the March 12, 1992 deposition.
56. These actions and disclosures are violations of Paragraphs 7(D), 7(G), 7(H) and 10 of the Agreement, requiring that Armstrong pay to CSI $250,000 in liquidated damages.
57. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 43-45, 47-48, 50-56, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
58. On or about April 7, 1992, while testifying in the matter known as Church of Scientology v. Yanny, (No. BC 033035), Armstrong made the Settlement Agreement sued upon herein an exhibit to the deposition transcript. Said action was a breach of paragraph 18(D) of the Agreement which prohibits disclosure of the contents of the Agreement.
60. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 43-45, 47-48, 50-56 and 58-59, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
61. In breach of the provision of paragraph 7(E) of the Agreement, Armstrong failed to return a letter written by L. Ron Hubbard to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1955 and an internal communication known as "Technical Bulletin."
62. In breach of the provisions of paragraph 7(H) of the Agreement, Armstrong gave a declaration in the Aznaran litigation on August 26, 1991 in opposition to a motion to exclude expert testimony.
63. Said declaration attached as exhibits the two documents referred to in paragraph 61 above, in breach of the provisions of Paragraph 7(D) of the Agreement.
64. By reason of the breaches by Armstrong in paragraphs 7(E) and 7(H) of the Agreement, plaintiff has been damaged in an amount not presently known but believed to be in excess of the jurisdictional minimum of this Court.
65. By reason of the breach by Armstrong of paragraph 7(D) of the Agreement, plaintiff is entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of $50,000.
67. Plaintiff learned in March, 1992, that during 1990 and 1991, Armstrong voluntarily provided aid and advice to Bent Corydon and to Corydon's attorney, Toby Plevin, in the conduct of litigation against plaintiff and affiliated entities in the case of Bent Corydon v. Church of Scientology International et al., Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. C 694401.
68. Armstrong's voluntary provision of aid to Plevin to work on Corydon's litigation is a direct violation of paragraphs 7(G) and 10 of the Agreement.
69. As a direct and proximate result of Armstrong's breach of the Agreement by providing voluntary assistance to Plevin in Corydon's litigation, plaintiff has incurred damages which are not presently calculable. In no event, however, are they less than the jurisdictional minimum of this Court. Consequently, for this breach plaintiff seeks compensatory and consequential damages according to proof.
70. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 43-45, 47-48, 50-56, 58-59, 61-65, 67-69, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
Reisdorf in the consolidated cases of Religious Technology Center, et al. v. Robin Scott, et al., and Religious Technology Center, et al. v. Wollersheim, et al., United States District Court for the Central District of California, Case Nos. CV 85-711 JMI (Bx) and CV 85-7197 JMI (Bx) (the "Scott case"). The plaintiffs in the Scott case are plaintiff, Church of Scientology International, Church of Scientology of California, and Religious Technology Center, all entities specifically protected by the Agreement.
72. In his May 27, 1992 declaration, Armstrong purports to authenticate an earlier declaration which describes some of his alleged experiences with and concerning plaintiff, as well as a portion of a transcript which was ordered sealed in the earlier action between plaintiff and defendant. These actions and disclosures are violations of paragraphs 7(G), 7(H) and 10 of the Agreement, requiring that Armstrong pay to CSI $50,000 in liquidated damages.
73. As a direct and proximate result of Armstrong's breach of the Agreement by providing voluntary assistance to Bright and Fagelbaum in the Scott case, plaintiff has incurred additional damages which are not presently calculable. In no event, however, are they less than the jurisdictional minimum of this Court. Consequently, for this breach plaintiff also seeks compensatory and consequential damages according to proof.
75. Since August, 1991, Armstrong has worked as a paralegal for attorney Ford Greene. Mr. Greene's practice consists substantially of pressing claims by former Scientologists against the plaintiff and other individuals and entities identified in paragraph 1 as beneficiaries of the Agreement (collectively, "the Beneficiaries").
76. Among Mr. Greene's clients who are pressing claims against one or more of the Beneficiaries are Ed Roberts and Denise Cantin.
77. While working in Mr. Greene's office, Armstrong provided substantial paralegal assistance to Mr. Greene in the Ed Roberts and Denise Cantin matters. In the case of Roberts, for example, Armstrong went to Colorado and interviewed Roberts in November, 1991, and has interviewed him at least seven times since then. In December, 1992, Armstrong even made a settlement demand to plaintiff's counsel on behalf of Roberts, without bothering to go through Roberts' attorney, Mr. Greene.
78. Armstrong's employment by Greene to work on the Roberts and Cantin matters is a direct violation of paragraphs 7(G) and 10 of the Agreement.
79. As a direct and proximate result of Armstrong's breach of the agreement by providing paralegal assistance to Greene on the Roberts and Cantin matters, plaintiff has incurred damages which are not presently calculable. In no event, however, are they less than the jurisdictional minimum of this Court. Consequently, for this breach plaintiff seeks compensatory and consequential damages according to proof.
80. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 43-45, 47-48, 50-56, 58-59, 61-65, 7-69, 71-73 and 75-79, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
81. In or about November, 1992, in Los Angeles, California, Armstrong attended a convention of the Cult Awareness Network, an anti-religious group whose members advocate the kidnapping and "deprogramming" of persons belonging to groups which they label "cults." While at the convention, Armstrong provided a lengthy videotaped interview to deprogramming specialist Jerry Whitfield.
A true and correct copy of the transcript of the videotape is attached hereto as Exhibit [D]. Said videotaped interview violates the Agreement in that it purportedly contains disclosures by Armstrong of his claimed experiences with Scientology as prohibited by paragraph 7(D) of the Agreement.
82. In addition, the videotaped interview devotes an entire section to a description of the earlier action resulting from the Settlement Agreement and to a description of the Settlement Agreement itself. The making of the videotape violated the provisions of paragraphs 7(D) and 18 of the Agreement.
83. In addition, plaintiff is informed and therefore believes that Armstrong has distributed the videotape to persons other than Whitfield, the number of which plaintiff has still to ascertain. The provision of the videotape by Armstrong to any person additionally violates paragraphs 7(D) and 18 of the Agreement.
>spoke with approximately fifty (50) people, and willingly disclosed to them his claimed experiences with Scientology, in violation of paragraphs 7(D) and 18 of the Agreement.
85. By reason of the foregoing breaches by Armstrong, plaintiff is entitled to at least $150,000 in liquidated damages,and further liquidated damages subject to proof.
86. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 43-45, 47-48, 50-56, 58-59, 61-65, 67-69, 71-73, 75-79 and 81-85, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
87. On or about December 22, 1992, Armstrong sent a letter to, inter alia, Malcolm Nothling, Ed Roberts, Lawrence Wollersheim, Richard Aznaran, Vicki Aznaran, Richard Behar, Ford Greene, Paul Morantz, Joseph A. Yanny, Toby L. Plevin, Graham E. Berry, Stuart Cutler, Anthony Laing, John C. Elstead, Fr. Kent Burtner, Margaret Singer, Cult Awareness Network and Daniel A. Leipold. Each of these individuals or organizations is (a) engaged in litigation against plaintiff and/or other Beneficiaries; (b) an avowed adversary of plaintiff and/or other Beneficiaries; and/or (c) an attorney who represents or has represented litigants and/or adversaries of plaintiff and/or other Beneficiaries. A true and correct copy of the letter sent by Armstrong is attached hereto as Exhibit [E]. Said letter violates the Agreement in that it contains purported disclosures by Armstrong of his claimed experiences with Scientology as prohibited by paragraph 7(D).

90. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 43-45, 47-48, 50-56, 58-59, 61-65, 71-73, 75-79, 81-85 and 87-89, inclusive and incorporates them herein by reference.
91. According to Armstrong, sometime between December 22, 1992 and March 10, 1993, he spoke at an event at which approximately 30 to 40 people were present. At this event, Armstrong spoke of, inter alia, his claimed experiences with Scientology, in violation of at least paragraphs 7(D) and 18 of the Agreement, and received monetary compensation for his speech.
92. By reason of the foregoing breach of the Agreement, plaintiff is entitled to $50,000 in liquidated damages.
93. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 43-45, 47-48, 50-56, 58-59, 61-65, 71-73, 75-79, 81-85, 87-89, 91-92, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
paragraph 7(D) of the Agreement. Plaintiff is informed, and therefore believes, that during the course of his interview with the Newsweek reporter(s), whose identity is known to defendants but not to plaintiff, Armstrong stated that the Founder of the Scientology faith, L. Ron Hubbard, wanted "rich Scientologists to buy huge quantities of [The Way to Happiness] for distribution. He wanted to go down in history as a scientist or a philosopher or both." Attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit [F] is a true and correct copy of the Newsweek article which featured this statement made voluntarily by Armstrong in a media interview. The provision of this interview by Armstrong violated the provisions of paragraphs 2, 7(D) and 18 of the Agreement.
95. By reason of the foregoing breach of the Agreement, plaintiff is entitled to $50,000 in liquidated damages.
96. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 43-45, 47-48, 50-56, 58-59, 61-65, 67-69, 71-73, 75-79, 81-85, 87-89, 91-92 and 94-95, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
concerning his claimed experiences with Scientology. Further, Armstrong provided to Entertainment Television a copy of a manuscript entitled: "ONE HELL OF A STORY An Original Treatment Written for Motion Picture Purposes Created and Written by Gerald Armstrong" (hereinafter, "the treatment"). Plaintiff is informed and believes that the treatment so provided includes detailed descriptions of Armstrong's alleged experiences in and concerning Scientology, including a description of Church scriptures which are considered sacred and confidential by the Church. Portions. of the Armstrong interview and the treatment were shown on Entertainment Television's "Entertainment Tonight" show on August 5, 1993. The provision of this interview and the treatment by Armstrong to Entertainment Television violated the provisions of at least paragraphs 7(D) and 18 of the Agreement.
98. By reason of the foregoing breach of the Agreement, plaintiff is entitled to $50,000 in liquidated damages.
99. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 43-45, 47-48, 50-56, 58-59, 61-65, 67-69, 71-73, 75-79, 81-85, 87-89, 91-92, 94-95, 97-98, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
FACTI to implement his plan to foment such litigation.
101. Armstrong has established FACTI to create an electronic "library" that would feature, inter alia, hundreds of documents, declarations, exhibits and arguments prepared by Armstrong which discuss and pertain to the Beneficiaries, and to attempt to "shelter" these contractual breaches under a corporate name and the rubric of First Amendment privilege.
102. Armstrong has provided an entire assortment of documents to FACTI for its electronic library, including a copy of the settlement agreement herein, scores of declarations, and documents which Armstrong retained in violation of paragraph 7(E) of the Agreement. Providing these documents to FACTI with the intention that FACTI distribute them to others, including but not limited to other litigants, is a breach of paragraphs 7(H) and 7(D) of the Agreement.
103. In or about January, 1994, Armstrong, using FACTI, sent a mass mailing to an as yet unascertained number of people, including members of the Scientology faith. In the mailing, Armstrong exhorts recipients to bring civil actions against the Church, stating that he is collecting negative information about the plaintiff "to assist ongoing litigation." Further, Armstrong requests the addresses of and ways to contact the family members of senior Church executives, an action which is clearly intended for the purpose of harassment.
Armstrong, using FACTI as his cover, provided that list to Graham Berry, an attorney representing defendant Uwe Geertz in the case of Church of Scientology International v. Steven Fishman, et al., United States District Court for the Central District of Los Angeles, Case No. 91-6426 HLH (Tx), which Berry then used against the Church in that action.
105. Armstrong's provision of assistance to Geertz and scores of other as yet unidentified would-be litigants is a direct violation of paragraphs 7(G) and 10 of the Agreement.
106. As a direct and proximate result of Armstrong's breach of the agreement via FACTI, plaintiff has incurred damages which are not presently calculable. In no event, however, are they less than the jurisdictional minimum of this Court. Consequently, for this breach plaintiff seeks compensatory and consequential damages according to proof.
107. Plaintiff realleges paragraphs 1-19, 21-28, 30-34, 36-38, 40-41, 47-48, 50-56, 58-59, 61-65, 67-69, 71-73, 75-79, 81-85, 87-89, 91-92, 94-95, 97-98, and 100-106, inclusive, and incorporates them herein by reference.
discussion of his claimed experiences with and concerning plaintiff.
109. In his February 22, 1994 declaration, Armstrong also purports to authenticate a document which he titles "Find a Better Basket," and which he claims is both a literary work and a declaration. Armstrong further claims that "Find a Better Basket" describes some of his alleged experiences with and concerning plaintiff.
110. These actions and disclosures are violations of paragraphs 7(G), 7(H) and 10 of the Agreement, requiring that Armstrong pay to CSI $50,000 in liquidated damages.
111. As a direct and proximate result of Armstrong's breach of the Agreement by providing voluntary assistance to Berry and Calhoun in the Fishman case, plaintiff has incurred additional damages which are not presently calculable. In no event, however, are they less than the jurisdictional minimum of this Court. Consequently, for this breach plaintiff also seeks compensatory and,consequential damages according to proof.
