Please make sure you saw last night’s big news about the Garcia lawsuit; another judge has denied a Scientology motion in a major lawsuit. Now, on to today’s news…
One of our legal helpers noticed that Florida attorney Ken Dandar — who was recently hit by Scientology with a $1 million state court judgment in a bizarre legal case — has a hearing set in his federal lawsuit which he’s hoping will put the kibosh on the state court result. Confusing? You bet.
Anyway, the docket in his federal case indicates that he’ll get a chance before Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on May 19 at 10 am in Tampa Courtroom 14B. The parties, notes the docket, should be ready to talk about “the potential applicability of Younger abstention in light of the final judgment recently entered in the relevant state court proceedings — as well as any potential mootness issues.” (Emphasis ours.)
We’d love to hear from the attorneys in the Bunker who can tell us what that seemingly portentous notice from Judge Covington seems to mean.
Hey, also, Jeffrey Augustine and Karen de la Carriere have the next podcast in their series, this one with a Bunker favorite, Claire Headley…
Hey, Bryan Seymour sent us the link to his story from the Sydney Ideal Org opening. It’s so Bryan Seymour!
