I S tauffer C ontinues P ursuit of O ld J udgment atherine Stauffer, the former Just Out pho- »x tographer who is suing the Oregon Citizens Alliance, says the quest to get her money con tinues. She is suing the anti-gay group for fraud. She also plans to seek punitive damages and recover attorney fees. Stauffer won a lawsuit stemming from an assault she suffered at the hands of an O CA administrator during the early 1990s. The or ganization has yet to pay the judgment, and she says interest and legal fees are adding up, although she refrained from estimating how much was owed. The original judgment was $31,000. Stauffers lawyers requested financial doc uments Dec. 27 from the O C A , the Mabons and the organizations board of directors for the upcoming deposition. She says they have 45 days to respond to the request. If the case can’t be settled out of court, she says she will take it to trial. Last fall, Stauffer hauled Lon and Bonnie Mahon into a Multnomah County court for a judgment debtor hearing because of the organi zation’s unpaid debt. Despite the Yes on 9 Cam paign fund raising, the couple claimed the O CA was broke and unable to pay up. Their attorney insisted the Yes on 9 Cam paign was not related to the O C A Educational Foundation—one of the many O C A organiza tions headed by the Mabons. Technically, the foundation owes Stauffer the money. The Mabons have maintained the founda tion is broke and has no relationship to the other O C A organizations that have funds. Stauffer’s attorneys maintain that all of the O C A organizations are related and that the Mabons moved money between them to avoid paying the judgment. After hours of judgment debtor exam deposi tions during last autumns fight over Measure 9, another O C A anti-gay ballot measure, Stauffer walked away with just a few hundred dollars, garnished from the accounts of the OCA.
