Title

U.S. District Court opinion and order in State of Oregon v. City of Rajneeshpuram

Description

An October 12, 1984 opinion and order by United States District Judge Helen J. Frye in State of Oregon v. City of Rajneeshpuram, et al. The order concerns defendants' motions to strike portions of the State of Oregon's complaint, which alleged that the City of Rajneeshpuram and its operation as a city constituted an unconstitutional establishment of religion. The opinion discusses arguments concerning establishment clause claims, quo warranto, statute of limitations, and allegedly scandalous or impertinent material. The court denied the defendants' motions to strike.

This is one document from a binder containing various notes, memos, and official documents relating to the Rajneesh movement compiled by Gerry Thompson. Thompson was Oregon Governor Victor Atiyeh's Chief of Staff during most of his governorship.
