ARS WIR Vol 1, #1 (4/21/96) mentions the following:

David Mayo, author of the cult's NOTS levels, won his appeal in District Court this week. Judge A. Wallace Tashima also criticized the cult heavily for its litigation tactics, intended to harass and destroy rather than win the case. The ruling quotes Judge Ideman, who has since recused himself, concerning the cult's tactics.

"This noncompliance has consisted of evasions, misrepresentations, broken promises and lies, but ultimately with refusal. As part of this scheme to not comply, the plaintiffs have undertaken a massive campaign of filing every conceivable motion (and some inconceivable) to disguise the true issue in these pretrial proceedings. Apparently viewing litigation as war, plaintiffs by this tactic have had the effect of massively increasing the costs to the other parties, and, for a while, to the Court. The appointment of the Special Master 4 years ago has considerably relieved the burden to this Court. The scope of plaintiff's efforts have to be seen. to be believed. (See Exhibit 'A', photo of clerk with filings, and Exhibit 'B', copy of clerk's docket with 81 pages and 1,737 filings.) "Yet it is all puffery -- motions without merit or substance.' I desperately need a .jpg of Exhibits A and B.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.
