After hearing opening statements of the parties, taking judicial notice of the various pleadings and papers on file in the consolidated actions Church of Scientology International v. Armstrong, Case No. 152229 and Church of Scientology International v. Armstrong, Case No. 157680, the Court made the following ruling:

Mr. Armstrong received a benefit under the settlement agreement of $800,000. It would be unconscionable to punish him beyond what the benefit was that was conferred to him. Armstrong was previously sanctioned in the sum of $300,000.

Judgment is therefore entered for plaintiff, on the admitted violations, of $500,000.

GOOD CAUSE appearing therefor, it is hereby ORDERED that judgment shall be entered in favor of plaintiff and against defendant in the amount of $500,000.00.

DATED: [handwritten] 5/20/04
