IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA 
Alexandria Division 

RELIGIOUS TECHNOLOGY CENTER, 

Plaintiff, 	v.	Civil Action No. 95-1107-A 

ARNALDO PAGLIARINI LERMA, 
Defendant.

PLAINTIFF'S EX PARTE MOTION TO STRIKE OR SEAL SPECIFIED PORTIONS
OF THE COURT'S OPINION 

Plaintiff Religious Technology Center ("RTC") hereby moves the Court ex
parte to strike two sentences, plus a few words of its October 4, 1 996
opinion (the "Opinion"), or in the alternative, to seal those specified
portions pending the outcome of its appeal of the earlier trade secrets
ruling by the Court.

This motion addresses a total of three sentences--all of which are in a
background portion of the Opinion, and thus not integral to the Court's
analysis--which purport to discuss or refer to beliefs ofthe Scientology
religion. Two of those sentences are at page 2, lines 11-16, beginning with
the words "Scientologists believe." The few words are contained in the
first sentence of the next paragraph, namely "through the creation of'free
zones."' The one additional sentence is at page 7, lines 11-13. The
discussion and references contained in those sentences are prejudicial to
RTC because (a) they make references to information which is a part of the
trade secrets at issue in this case; (b) while they purport to state the
religious beliefs of Scientologists, they incorrectly state those beliefs,
and irrespective of trade secret status, they are unpublished works the
context of which the owner has never permitted to be published.
 
	Specifically, RTC requests that the Court delete the language set
forth above, which is unnecessary to the Court's decision. Alternatively,
the Court should not distribute the decision as currently worded, but
rather, pending resolution of RTC's appeal on the trade secret issues, that
the Court redact the three sentences referenced above with asterisks or
some other notation so that a misrepresentationof RTC's beliefs is not
circulated and RTC's appeal of its trade secret claim is not compromised.

This motion is based on the attached memorandum of points and authorities
submitted herewith. It is filed ex parte in light of the urgency of dealing
with the requested relief.  Notice is being furnished simultaneously to
defendant Arnaido Lerma.
