__________

Take special note on the difference of the filings from the original April 13 document and the June 29th revised filing when the documents appear here.  The April 13th document describes the PLAINTIFF as:  "Plaintiff Rosicrucian is a non-profit corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principle place of business in San Jose." 

The June 29th 1990 REVISED filing describes the PLAINTIFF as:  "Plaintiff, the Supreme Grand Lodge of the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis ('The Rosicrucian Order'): Plaintiff is a non-profit public benefit corporation, organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business in San jose, California.  As a nonprofit public benefit corporation, plaintiff is subject to California's Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law", ....etc. 

The Constitution of AMORC was removed as of the second filing, opening the door to legally remove Rosicrucian Imperator Gary L. Stewart on the grounds as a Corporate head, or Presidentrather than an Imperator of a spiritual Order.  Note:  Office of Imperator under AMORC Constitution, applying as by-laws under the pre-1990 Articles of Inc.is a Lifetime office.
