legal (proximate) cause of damages to Plaintiff. By the following acts
or omissions to act, Defendant negligently caused the damage to Plaintiff
on July 8, 2002 or after
at Narconon facility at 17350 South Highway 79, Warner Springs CA

(Description of reasons for liability)
Plaintiff, KEVIN CARTER, at all times relevant, was an employee of
Defendants. NARCONON SOUTHERN and DOES 1 to 20. On or after July 8, 2002,
Plaintiff sustained injuries in the course and scope of her(sic) employment
at 17350 South Highway 79, Warner Springs, because of dangerous working
conditions on the premises and which caused him to injure himself.
Defendants NARCONON SOUTHERN and DOES 1 to 20, failed to provide Workers'
Compensation insurance coverage for Plaintiff and was not permissibly
self-insured pursuant to the California Labor Code. Pursuant to Labor Code,
Section 3700, et seq, including Labor Code section 3706, Plaintiff is
permitted to maintain this civil action against the above mentioned
Defendants, who were negligent in creating, permitting, failing
to correct or warn of the dangerous work conditions causing Plaintiff's
injuries and otherwise failed to maintain a safe workplace, all of which
was a legal cause of Plaintiff's complained of injuries. Pursuant to
the Labor Code, Plaintiff is also entitled to attorneys fees for the
prosecution of this action.

Plaintiff KEVIN CARTER sustained serious personal injuries at 17350
Highway 79, Warner Springs, as a result of dangerous conditions which
caused Plaintiff to sustain significant back injuries, improper and
dangerous methods of "drug abuse treatment" conducted at an unlicensed
facility causing injury and other negligent acts on Plaintiff, who at
the time was participating in one of defendant's "Ethics Cycles," where
he was required to engage in heavy labor for long hours, without adequate
assistance and tools, was denied assistance when requested and denied
adequate medical attention.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Plaintiff KEVIN CARTER, at all tiems relevant, was an employee
of defendants, NARCONON SOUTHERN and DOES 1 to 40, in the course and
scope of her (sic) employment. Defendant GERRY MARSHALL, was a managing
agent of Plaintiff's employer. On Memorial Day, May 27, 2002, Defendant
GERRY MARSHALL, in the course and scope of his employment, and as a
managing agent of Defendants NARCONON SOUTHERN and DOES 11 to 20,
assaulted and battered Plaintiff, including pushing and throwing
Plaintiff and other acts which placed Plaintiff in great fear of bodily
harm and in fact, caused personal injury to Plaintiff.

In addition, Defendant, NARCONON SOUTHERN and DOES 11 to 20, ratified
the acts of Defendant GERRY MARSHALL, and other managing agents of said
Defendants intentionally inflicted emotional distress by making him work
extremely long hours, coercing and threatening Plaintiff, yelling,
harassing and subjecting Plaintiff to humiliating and degrading mental,
emotional and physical abuse.

Plaintif alleges defendant was guilty of malice, oppression as defined
in Civil Code section 3294, and plaintiff should recover, in addition
to actual damages, damages to make an example of and to punish defendant.

The facts supporting Plaintiff's claim are as follows:

Plaintiff incorporates herein the allegations contained on Page 7.
Defendants, GERRY MARSHALL, a managing agent of defendant NARCONON
SOUTHERN, and DOES 11 to 20, and further alleges that the malicious and
oppressive acts of defendants, and each of them, in pushing and throwing
Plaintiff and other acts of mental, emotional and physical intimidation
and harassment with the intent to vex, injur and annoy Plaintiff constituted
oppression and malice as herein above set forth in detail.
