Ray JeffreyWe talked to Ray Jeffrey, attorney for Monique Rathbun, who confirmed that Judge Dib Waldrip has granted Monique’s motion for a continuance in her harassment lawsuit against the Church of Scientology so she can have the time to depose its leader, David Miscavige.
And although Scientology attorneys asked that it be a written deposition, Jeffrey tells us the judge did not agree to that.
“He has ordered the deposition of Miscavige with no restrictions. It will be a regular deposition like any other,” Jeffrey said.
At the end of today’s session, Scientology attorneys suddenly asked Judge Waldrip for an open-ended stay of proceedings so they could have the time to petition the state appeals court regarding the deposition order. Waldrip instead gave them just one week — until 5 pm on December 20 — to obtain a stay from the Austin appeals court.
“For us, the stay means we’re not supposed to set up the deposition for one week,” Jeffrey said. But it should take considerably longer than that to schedule Miscavige’s testimony.
In fact, Scientology’s attorneys submitted Miscavige’s upcoming schedule through March 31, which apparently showed the “ecclesiastical leader” has a dizzying array of events and tasks to accomplish.
“Judge Waldrip seemed unimpressed with it,” Jeffrey said. “There’s no time that they’re not going to claim that he’s super busy.”
Today’s session was a continuation of a hearing that had begun on Wednesday. At the end of that day, Judge Waldrip was handed huge binders of material — Scientology’s objections to Monique’s supporting documents — but he apparently came into court this morning very prepared.
“It happened very fast. Within 15 minutes, he said he had read about half of the declarations, had read one of the depositions, and said that
plaintiffs had a colorable basis in fact for the need to take the deposition of David Miscavige,” Jeffrey said.
Scientology then tried to talk Judge Waldrip out of his decision, Jeffrey said.
The Scientology attorneys began complaining that the decision was a violation of Miscavige’s religious freedom. Jeffrey then pointed out that during the recent scandals with the Catholic Church, bishops and archbishops had given depositions without it violating their religious freedom.
“But not the Pope!” exclaimed Ricardo Cedillo, attorney for Scientology.
“We all laughed at that, and so did the judge,” Jeffrey said.
“The big mistake they made was leveling so many objections, and they actually gave the judge a format, a box for checking every objection sustained or overruled on the documents,” Jeffrey said. That burden forced Waldrip to place very close attention to the many declarations that Monique had submitted. Those declarations, he adds, were intended to be very persuasive.
Also, Jeffrey surprised Scientology’s attorneys by bringing with him a proposed order for deposing not only Miscavige, but also the church leader’s wife, Shelly Miscavige, his personal “communicator” Laurisse, and also Linda Hamel, who runs Scientology’s spy wing, the Office of Special Affairs.
Shelly Miscavige has not been seen in public since late 2005 except for a brief appearance at the funeral of her father in the summer of 2007. It’s believed that she’s being kept out of sight at a small Scientology compound in the mountains above Los Angeles.
“They freaked out over that,” Jeffrey said.
He did not end up submitting that order for Waldrip’s approval, but Jeffrey says he still can do that in the future.
“The main thing is we get the time to do discovery. David Miscvaige is still in this lawsuit, and has to give his deposition.”
Miscavige had argued that he had nothing to do with the harassment campaign that Monique alleges made her life miserable over the past four years. And although one church entity, the Church of Scientology International, has admitted to running that campaign, Miscavige claims that he has nothing to do with CSI and instead only runs a different church entity, the Religious Technology Center (RTC), and should be let out of the lawsuit. Monique argues that he runs all aspects of Scientology, and she should have the ability to depose Miscavige before Judge Waldrip can make a decision about Miscavige’s request to be let out of the suit.
Today, Waldrip agreed.

Apart from his performance worsening gradually, Bob's nature too began to change. He had forgotten to laugh and showed no interest in any activity. All his friends had abandoned him.

Every day after all the students went away, Ms Miller gave personal attention to Bob and began to spend time with him.

On Sunday morning, curious, she opened it and saw a bottle of perfume, half filled. Together with it was a small letter, saying that this bottle of perfume used to be his mother's and he wished Ms Miller to wear it so that every time she was around, he could feel his Mom near him.

While watching the Olympics the other night，I came across an unbelievable sight．It was not a gold medal，or a world record broken，but a show of courage．The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks．For one reason or another，two of them false started，so they were disqualified．That left only one to compete．It would have been difficult enough，not having anyone to race against，even though the time on the clock is important．I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong．I’m not an expert swimmer，but I can tell a good dive from a poor one，and this was not exactly medal quality．When he resurfaced，it was evident that the man was not out for gold – his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle．The crowd started to laugh．Clearly this man was not a medal competitor．I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time．Finally he made his turn to start back．It was pitiful．He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out．But in those few awful strokes，the crowd had changed．No longer were they laughing，but beginning to cheer．Some even began to stand and shout “Come on，you can do it!” and he did．A clear minute past the average swimmer，this young man finally finished his race．The crowd went wild．You would have thought that he had won the gold，and he should have．Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history，this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors．Just a short year ago，he had never even swum，let alone race．His country had been invited to Sydney．In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold，or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors，it is nice to watch an underdog．小题1:From the passage we can learn that the young man&&&&&&&&．A．made his turn to start back pitifullyB．was skillful in freestyle in the gameC．swam faster than the average swimmerD．was not capable enough to win the medal小题2:The crowd changed their attitudes because&&&&&&&&&．A．they felt sorry for the young manB．they were moved by the young man’s courageC．they wanted to show their sympathyD．they meant to please the young man小题3:According to the passage，“it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means&&&&&&&&&．A．it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himselfB．it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skillsC．it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitorsD．it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals小题4:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．The event started with three men，two of whom were disqualified later．B．The crowd started to laugh at the athlete’s arms waving in an attempt at freestyle．C．The athlete，as well as the author，is an expert swimmer．D．The swimming event is a show of courage rather than a fierce competition．小题5:What’s the best title for the passage?A．Compete for Gold!B．Try again!C．Break a Record!D．Go for it!
