A very interesting development has occurred in my lawsuit against UCLA for
wrongful termination (Los Angeles Superior Court, BC247283.)
Filed in March last year, the case is proceeding toward a February 2002 trial date. On September 28 and October 11, I underwent two days of deposition with UCLA's defense attorney Keri Lynn Bush (a friend of Cathy Shipe who is in Dan Leipold's law firm and was quoted making statements about Scientology in a Los Angeles Daily News article several years ago). What's ironic is that Keri Lynn Bush and Alan Zuckerman, the two attorneys defending UCLA in my lawsuit are with the law firm of Lewis, D'Amato, Brisbois & Bisgaard, the very law firm that Graham Berry worked at when I gave my 17-day deposition in the Church of Scientology vs. Fishman & Geertz case 8 years ago.
Ms. Bush felt free to infringe on the fact that my deposition testimony was placed under court seal by Judge Harry Hupp in 1994 (an action requested by Scientology attorneys and not disputed by Lewis, D'Amato, Brisbois & Bisgaard.
Why not? Well, the facts show that this action was taken behind Graham Berry's back while he was on vacation, and after Robert F. Lewis, the senior partner at Lewis, D'Amato was visited by Scientology attorney John Quinn and informed that they had evidence showing Lewis keeping a mistress behind his wife's back.
Isn't it interesting that a senior partner of a law firm in such a high profile case was willing to screw the law firm attorney intricately involved in the case in order to evade Scientology's disclosure of his inability to keep his pants on while in the presence of his play thing?) Early this week, I was informed by my attorney that Lewis, D'Amato has offered a shitty settlement with no monetary damages and that Alan Zuckerman stated he felt secure in speaking freely about my prior Scientology associations &
activities in a court trial in a concerted effort to attack my credibility; this despite the very evidence he is referring to involved 17 volumes of testimony and 364 pieces of evidence (which includes "sacred" Scientology materials and memorandums) which his law firm secured from me as an "expert witness" in favor of his law firm.
Now my attorney wants to scuttle my case and accept the shitty settlement because he is afraid of taking on the Scientology issue in court.
My answer? Tough shit Sherlock. I'm in this for the long run and I welcome Alan Zuckerman's introduction of the Scientology issue. I have available to me a number of documents that current and former clients of Lewis, D'Amato might be very interested in - can you say overbilling and screwing clients?
The saga continues....
