Attorneys for Plaintiff
MICHAEL HURTADO
SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
MICHAEL HURTADO,
Plaintiff,
vs.
GRAHAM E. BERRY,
Defendant.
Case No. BC 208227
Honorable Ray L. Hart
SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION OF AVA M. PAQUETTE REGARDING DEPOSITION OF KEITH
HENSON
Date: September 14, 2000
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Dept: 10 I, Ava Paquette, declare:
1. I am an attorney at law duly licensed to practice law
before all of the
courts of the State of California. The facts contained herein are true of
my own personal knowledge and if called upon to testify, I could and would
competently testify thereto.
2. During the last couple of weeks I was visiting my mother
who has been very ill. During that time period, I received an email from a
Frederic Rice, which I inadvertently overlooked when checking my email
which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3. Upon investigation and reviewing Mr. Rice’s Internet web
site called "skeptictank.org", I found out that Frederic Rice is a hater of
religions. On his Internet web site he espouses views that are
emphatically against all religion. For example, he states that there are
almost no distinctions between Nazism and Christianity. He has advocated
violence against parishioners of the Scientology religion and has posted
global positioning coordinates for various Scientology churches on the
Internet in the context of bombing them. Mr. Henson has participated in
these activities with Mr. Rice and has a background in bomb making.
4. As reflected in the attached email, Mr. Rice refers to
himself as "Reverend" and claims that he will be representing Mr. Henson’s
"spiritual interests" by videotaping and audiotaping Mr. Henson’s
deposition on September 15, 2000 in the Moxon & Kobrin offices.
5. Mr. Henson’s deposition will not be videotaped by my
office. I view this as just another harassment ploy by the defendant for
the purpose of creating obstruction, harassment and annoyance at the
deposition so he can disseminate it on the Internet.
6. I also believe that it is highly probable that Mr. Henson,
along with defendant Graham Berry, intends to make speeches at the
deposition so that Mr. Rice can videotape and post them for his Internet
cronies. I say this based upon conversations I have had with Mr. Berry in
the past, where he inevitably threatens me with lawsuits, arrest and the
media. I am counsel of record in the bankruptcy adversary matter entitled
Moxon v. Berry, Case No. ADV 9902615ER and am thoroughly familiar with the
facts in that case. One of the grounds that Judge Snyder gave for imposing
a $28,000 F.R.Civ.P. Rule 11 and 28 U.S.C. §1927 sanction upon Mr. Berry
arose out of his actions in filing frivolous pleadings in court for the
purpose of disseminating them to the media and on the Internet.
7. For these reasons and for good cause shown, I request that
the Court issue an order to permit only the deponent, Mr. Henson, his
attorney, if he has one (and he has indicated that Mr. Berry may appear as
his attorney), the court reporter and plaintiff’s and defendant’s attorneys
to attend Mr. Henson’s deposition.
I declare under penalty of perjury for the foregoing is true and
correct. Executed this 11th day of September, 2000 at Los Angeles, California.
