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 By:

                        __________________________
