"Church loses court appeal"
Denver Post, Thursday, 9/21
page 2b sidebar

    A US Supreme Court justice yesterday denied an appeal by the Church
of Scientology to stay a district court order that it return computer
materials to a man the church has accused of stealing church secrets,
an attorney said.

    The stay was denied late yesterday by associate Supreme Court
Justice Stephen Breyer, according to Natalie Hanlon-Leh, an attorney
for Lawrence Wollersheim of Boulder.

    The church has accused Wollersheim, a 46-year-old former church
member turned apostate, of violating a copyright and trade secrets(sic)
by making church secrets available around the world on 48,000 computer
bulletin boards.

    The church got a federal court order to seize Wollersheim's
computer, documents and disks, and then sifted through the material,
looking for secret church doctrines.

    After the search, a federal judge ordered the computer and disks
returned.  The church refused and appealed to the Supreme Court.
