CASE NO. 152229

OPPOSITION TO ORDER TO
SHOW CAUSE RE CONTEMPT;
DECLARATION OF GERALD
ARMSTRONG

Date: January 17, 2001
Time: 0930
Department: F

Defendant Gerald Armstrong answers this Court's order to show cause why he

should not be held in contempt as supplicated by plaintiff "Church of Scientology

International," ("Scientology"), and opposes the grant of an order of contempt on the

grounds that the Injunction Scientology is trying to enforce by way of jailing and fining

him is unlawful, specifically, obstructive of justice, against public policy, unnecessarily

and impermissibly violative of his rights to freedom of religion, freedom of speech,

freedom of assembly, and due process, and freedom from slavery, and impossible to

enforce, as demonstrated by everything which has transpired since the injunction was

crafted by Scientology and signed by former Superior Court Judge Gary W. Thomas in

October, 1995.

Armstrong requests that this Court deny Scientology's motion, declare the

Injunction unlawful, cancel the two earlier contempt orders, and withdraw the warrants

issued for his arrest in California.

This opposition is based on the declaration of Gerald Armstrong which follows,

the exhibits thereto, and the complete record in this case.

Respectfully submitted

[signed]

Gerald Armstrong
