Dear Rosicrucians of all
Organizations:
To clarify the events that led to the Final
Dismissal by AMORC with prejudice, on this page we are presenting links
to the documents of negotiation, leading to a specific settlement agreement,
and also revealing many facts of the case.
Below,
is a chronological list of the settlement documents in the negotiation
process, but first, to put this into further perspective, here is a Time
Line of the events involved in the final legal resolution of AMORC vs.
Gary L. Stewart, where the final settlement was reached:
Time
Line
1. October 1991, GLS decides to drop
his Cross-Complaint against AMORC.
2. January 7, 1992, the GLS
Cross-Complaint is dropped "with prejudice".
3. May
15, 1992, AMORC sends out a letter signed by
Kristie Knutson to its members saying that
in March 1992, AMORC moved to have Gary Stewart's Cross-Complaint dismissed.
(However, the court had already dismissed the Cross-Complaint in January
1992, at Gary Stewart's own request.) [Ref./Back
To: GLS Interview Re 5/92 letter]
4. May 1993, INS
Insurance through the Law Offices
of Wallace B. Adams files an Insurance
Fraud suit against AMORC resulting from the 1990 litigation.
That suit is immediately settled out of court . [Ref./Back
To: GLS Interview Re INS Ins. ]
5. The
Superior Court in San Jose California informs AMORC to speed up the case
and sets a trial date for June 19, 1993. [Ref./Back

6. May
27, 1993 Gary Stewart is contacted by AMORC's attorneys suggesting
a settlement... and so on.
