areas a certain distance?

A Yes. First there was a temporary restraining
order that was filed ex parte, which means without any
notice to the party. And so they got a rather wide
ranging 450 feet away from every Scientology property in
Clearwater.

Q But there is currently an injunction in place
that went through system, correct?

A Yes. That original temporary injunction was
modified once a hearing was held.

Q I don’t need you to go into details, Mr.
Minton. I am just asking you, there is one in effect.
Was it the same way from Howd, or stay away from Howd, as
well as all church properties, whether he was on them or
not? What did they ask for?

A Scientology asked for an injunction to stay
away from all Scientology properties. I didn’t ask for
anything, but the court granted an injunction to keep
Howd 20 feet away from me. And me 10 feet away from
Scientology properties.

Q All Scientology properties in the city,
correct?

A The major ones, yes.

Q Were there lines painted by Scientologists to
make sure that you kept 10 feet away?
