AFFIDAVIT

I, Roger H. Hoole, of 4276 South Highland Drive in in Salt Lake County, in the State of Utah, in

the United States of America, MAKE OATH AND SAY THAT:

1. I am attorney practicing at the law firm of Hoole and King in Salt Lake City Utah. I have

personal knowledge of the matters deposed to in this affidavit except where stated to be

based on information and belief and where so stated I believe it to be true.

 -2-

2. I acted on behalf of a number of former members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter Day Saints ("FLDS") in a civil action that was commonly referred to as

the "Lost Boys" litigation. There were six plaintiffs in total, all of whom were male and

all of whom were forced to leave the FLDS community at a young age. The Lost Boys

Litigation was eventually consolidated with a civil action brought by Brent Jeffs (I also

acted for Brent Jeffs) against Warren Jeffs and the FLDS. The FLDS did not defend the

litigation and we obtained a default judgment.

3. The default judgment put at risk the assets of the United Effort Plan Trust ("UEP"). The

UEP owns virtually all of the land in the FLDS communities of Colorado City, Arizona,

Hildale, Utah, and Lister ("Bountiful"), British Columbia. With the encouragement of

my clients, the Utah and Arizona Attorney Generals subsequently appointed a Special

Fiduciary to assume control of the UEP, subject to the court's supervision. My clients in

the "Lost Boys" case continued to be interested parties in the court proceeding

concerning the UEP (the "UEP Proceeding").

4. Now produced and shown to me and attached as Exhibits "A" through "c" are:

(i) My memorandum of January 14,2010 which was filed with the Third Judicial

District Court for Salt Lake County, State of Utah, in the UEP Proceeding;

THROUGH IX Judge Denise P. Lindberg

On December 11, 2009 this Court issued a minute Entry and Orcler inviiing the Utah and

Arizona Attorneys General and the Special Fiduciary to submit recol111nenc1ations to address the

financial conditio:} of the United Effort Plan Trust ("Trust") and the continuing and proliferatirg

involving the Trust. Moreover) since the inception of this case the COl1li has been

to consider submissions from various non-parties, induding interested individuals, as a way of

ensuring that this Court receives relevant input on issues affecting the Trust. See Corrected Ruling
 2

and Order 011 Pending Motions, elated July i 7, 2009, at 1, n. 1. The Originallnlerested Individuals,

Richard Jessop Ream, Thomas Samuel Steeel, Don Ronald Fischer, Dean Joseph Barlow, Walter

Scott Fischer, Richard Gilbert, and Brent Jeffs have appreciated that courtesy. In this instance, they

respectfully submit the following information and recommend action that the Court may consic'er

in addressing the problem of litigation involving the Trust.

DISCUSSlON

Warren Jeffs, as leader of the FLDS people and through criminal enterprises such as the

Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Clu'ist of Latter Day Saints and the Corporation of the President of

the Fundamentalist Church ofJesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Ccollectively, the "FLDS Church"),

knowingly and increasingly brought the FLDS into conflict with the law as a religious "test":

The Lord is showing me the young girls of this community, those who are pure and
righteous will be taken care of at a younger age. As the government finds out about
this, it will bring such a great pressure upon us, upon the families of these girls, upon
the girls who are placed in marriage .... And I will teach the young people that there
is no such thing as an underage Priesthood marriage but that it is a protection for
ttem if they will look at it right and seek unto the Lord for a testimony. The Lord
will have me do this, get more young girls married, not only as a test to the
parents, but also to test this people to see if they will give the Prophet up.

Private Priesthood Record of Warren S. Jeffs CReco:'d of Warren Jeffs"), entry for November 24,

2003, attached hereto as Exhibit A (emphasis added).'

The Record of Warren Jeffs (from which this excerpt was obtained) was among the vast
I

records seized by Texas law enforcement during a search of the Yearning For Zion Ranch CYFZ
Ranch") in April of 2008. See the October 2, 2009 Order by the Honorable Judge Barbara Lane
Walther ofthe 51" Judicial District Court of Schleicher County, Texas, upholding the legality of the
search of the YFZ Ranch and the seizure of extensive materials, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibi' B.

It is apparent that the Record of Warren Jeffs, seized in Texas, and the other simil"r
materials, seized in other arrests, are a significant part of the actual record of the UEP Trust, which
this COUJiordereci the former trustees to its or before July 21,2005. Jeffs

-2-
 3

In addition to intentionally testing the FLDS people by creating an irreconcilable conflict

between them and the laws of society, Jeffs and the many entities and enterprises he controls have

anticipated the course of this probate proceeding, and did so, even before its commencement in May,

2005. Indeed, in another portion of the Record of Warren Jeffs (Exhibit C, entry for September 1,

has deliberately obstructed this Court's orders to produce Trust records. See e.g., April 29, 2007
letter from Warren Steed Jeffs to Wendell Nielsen and Merril Jessop ("we are trying to stop Bruce
Wisan ... from getting the record.") A copy of this letter, which is Exhibit I hereto, was Exhibit 25
to the deposition of Frederick Merril Jessop in one of the Texas cases, previously made pmi of he
record in this case, and recently filed in original proceedings before the Utah Supreme Court by tbe
Trust.

POliions of the Record of Warren Jeffs (and related materials) have been placed in court
records in various criminal and civil cases in Texas, Arizona, and Utah, as well as in the record
before this COUli and in proceedings before the Utah Supreme COUli. See e.g., Utah Attorney
General's Memorandum in Opposition to Petition for Extraordinary Writ and the United Effort Plan
Trust's Response in Opposition to Petition for Emergency Relief, Case No. 20090859-SC. It appears
obvious to the Original Interested Individuals that the materials obtained from the YFZ Ranch (and
the mTest vehicles of Warren Jeffs and Seth Jeffs) should now be made pari of the record before this
COUli to properly facilitate the administration and oversight of the Trust, to assure the administration
of justice, and to allow the pariies and interested individuals to respond at the appropriate time
the various motions improperly filed by the FLDS during the litigation stand down.

As discussed below, the Special Fiduciary and the Utah and Arizona Attorneys General
should have the opportunity to fully discover and authenticate these and other pOliions of the Record
of WatT en Jeffs-which are, indeed, actual records of the Trust. It appears that these records will
shine a bright and much needed light on the impropriety of the FLDS litigation barrage and expose
the utter fallacy of its numerous, but untimely, religious infringement assertions.

To be sure, the FLDS know the contents oftbese records and will fully resist their discovery
and authentication. In response to what has already be filed with this Court, that effort has already
begun. See e.g. Motion To Stay filed on January 8, 2010 in this proceeding by counsel for the
Corporation ofthe President of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and
Leroy Steed Jeffs, which seeks to prevent all discovery while the Utah Supreme Court considers
petitions for various writs similarly calculated to prevent disclosure of trust records.

2004), he foretold, taught, and sanctioned the coming loss of the UEP Trust as part of the religious

test of the FLDS people:

9:54 a.m. UEP Trustee Meeting by telephone: Uncle Fred [Jessop], William Jessop
and James Zilting

Hello. I have already called LeRoy Jeffs.['] He agrees and will also
conference him next.

Hello. Can you hear me? Hello. Am I on speaker phone in the office then?

Hello brother William and brother James.

Can Uncle Fred hear us also? Uncle Fred are you there, Uncle Fred? Can everyone
hear us? This is an official Trustees meeting of the United Effort Plan Trust. I
have Uncle Fred and I calling in on phone with William Jessop and James Zilting
present in Father's office in Sh01i Creek. I have talked to LeRoy Jeffs on these issues
and he will be calling in and I will have brother James and brother William hear his
voice also. Dear brethren, we are under attack. We now have tluee lawsuits filed
against us.e] They are direct attacks against the Celestial Law and Priesthood.[']

2 Warren .Teffs' brother Leroy Jeffs is the Personal Representative of the Estate of Rulon T.

leffs and, as shown in the Record of Warren Jeffs, knew that the UEP Trust would be sacrificed not
only as a religious test of the FLDS people, but also in a deliberate effort to protect his brother, a
federal fugitive wanted by the FBI, from apprehension and prosecution for criminal activity.

J The civil actions referenced are Brentleffs v. Warren JejJs, el ai., Case No. 040915857 (the
"Brent Jeffs case") filed on July 29,2004 in the Third Judicial District Court in and for Salt Lake
County, State of Utah and Richard Ream, el al. v. Warren Jeffi', el ai, Case No. 040918237, (the
"Lost Boys case") filed on August 27, 2004 in the Third Judicial District Court in and for Salt Lake
County, State of Utah, and Shem Fischer v. Forestwood Company, Inc. et ai., Case No. 2-02-cv-
21 OK, filed on March 11,2002 in the United States District Court, District of Utah.

4 "Celestial Law" refers to "spiritual" or "arranged" marriage, including plural, underage,

and incestuous marriage. "Priesthood," in this context, refers to the FLDS prophet and other FLDS
leaders who assist the prophet in arranging these so called "marriages," regardless of their legality.
To be sure, some FLDS have lawful marriages, that is, there are marriages between one man and one
woman evidenced by a lawful marriage certificate. However, the references to marriage in the
Record of Warren Jeff are references to arranged spiritual marriages commanded by God without
 5

And I tell you this much that the Lord is requiring of me to answer them
nothing.[SI For me to testify in court, answer subpoenas or do anything about
my Father's doings and my doings and the Celestial Law it would prove us the
traitor and I am to answer them nothing. Do you uphold that brethren? Jam
keeping a record of my voice and my sayings here with my scribe and J am saying
that all the trustees agree with that thus far. By me not answering the courts,
bretlu'en, that means I have dismissed our lawyers['] from these three new cases
because we can answer the courts nothing or we will prove to be traitors against God
and Priesthood. To even talk about marriages and our doing in the Priesthood would
be out of order. And our stand is that no government or court on the face of the earth
can bring God into question in the handling of His own Church and people. And that
is what the apostates and government are determined to do. And I am to stay out of
their way for now. But brethren, this will bring the government down upon us
quickly. Even put the United Effort Plan Trust lands under government
control. And before they do that-Can you hear me still? I am asking permission
of the board of trustees to write up a deed to transfer the land for Western Precision

regard for the laws of society that make "marriages" involving more than one wife, young girls or
close relatives illegal.

5 The admonition to "answer them [the courts] nothing" was an explicit religious

commandment announced by Warren] effs, suppOlied by the trustees of the UEP Trust, including
Leroy Jeffs, and in turn followed by the FLDS people. That commandment was relaxed somewhat
by the necessity of hiring criminal defense lawyers after Warren Jeffs was arrested in Nevada as a
federal fugitive in August of 2006 and after a score of FLOS men were charged in Texas with
various sex crimes involving underage girls on the Y?Z Ranch. After years of deliberate silence,
the FLDS Church has also initiated several lawsuits to thwart the cOllli-appointed fiduciary's
administration of the UEP Trust. Apmi from attempting to take the offensive in this manner,
however, the FLDS have generally continued to follow their prophet's commandment and exercise
their claimed religious right to answer the courts nothing.

6 On December 16, 2004, Rodney Parker and Snow, Clu'istensen and Martineau filed
motions to withdraw as counsel for the FLDS Church and UEP TILlSt in the Lost Boys and Brent
Jeffs cases stating: "the clients insist upon a course of conduct with which their lawyers have a
fundamental disagreement" and "that the ImNyers have been discharged from representation of the
defendants .... " See Motions to Withdraw as Counsel, copies of which are attached as Exhibit D.
Mr. Parker and his law firm did not withdraw as coul'sel in the Fischer case, presumably because
that suit did not involve alleged criminal conciuct by Warren Jeffs, who was already on the lam-far
beyond the reach of civil process.

over to Western Precision so that company can continue to be a strength to liS.[7] I

ask if you will do that. Do you second it Uncle Fred? And James and William do
you agree? We want that company to be a strength to us still and not get into the
courts. Please understand we are not surrendering The United Effort Plan Trust or
the Church organization.[8] This is the attack of the enemy upon us. We are just
standing firm with God and whatever they do as our enemies is the Lord allowing a
test upon us. So brethren, let liS stand true. What did Ullcle Fred say? Thank you,
Uncle Fred. Dear brethren, this is a test the Lord is allowing to come upon the
Priesthood people to see what we love most. Do we love God Priesthood and the
Celestial Law most or will we surrender Priesthood and give up the Prophet to
hold onto our lands and our earthly comforts? Andl say to us: Stand with God
and Priesthood and let us uphold the Celestial Law. Because I am not able to connect
LeRoy on phone with us I am going to have him call in and hear this also after Uncle
Fred hangs up. Uncle Fred, I will be in contact with you in a few minutes. Alright?
I wanted these other brethren to hear your voice and that you upheld what the Lord
wants done. [9] So we will write a deed, turn over the land the Western Precision
building is on and give it to Western Precision. Also, our lawyers are afraid they
won't get paid, brethren. And they are going to put a lean on the UEP land in Apple
Valley. We have agreed to sell that land and Willie Jessop is still working on that. CO]

1 Although Jeffs taught thatthe UEP Trust would be lost to the govermnent, he was unwilling

to allow the Western Precision building and land to be forfeited presumably because it was
marketable and could be sold-as was done in a fraudulent effort to remove it from the UEP Trust.
The company itself was moved to Nevada and renamed New Era Manufacturing, thereby serving as
an ongoing income SOllrce and strength to the Priesthood.

• Jeffs was "prophesying" that the UEP Trust would be lost involuntarily as a test and
specifically as a result of his (and those under his control) answering the courts nothing: "But
brethren, this will bring the government down upon us quickly. Even put the United Effort Plan
Trust lands under government control." It is also clear that to make it a true test the loss of the UEP
Trust could not come from a voluntarily surrender: "brothers please understand we are not
surrendering The United Effort Plan Trust or the Church organization."

9 At this point, it is apparent from the transcription that UEP Trust trustees, Fred Jessop,

William Timpson Jessop, and James Zitting have voiced their consent to Wauen Jeffs allowing the
UEP Trust property, sans the Western P1:ecision lanel and building, to be lost in furtherance of
religious commandment to answer the courts nothing

" Subsequently, on September 4 and October 4, 2004, the Western Precision land and
building were conveyed by the UEP Trust via warrant)' deeds to Western Precision, Inc. Similarly,
on September 27,2004, the Apple Valley land was conveyed by the UEP Trust via warrantee deed
to Aspen Management Investments, LLC, an entity controlled by Warren Jeffs. These transfers took

But at any time, one of these courts could freeze the UEP assets and we could
not do anything with it anyway legally. But I am trying to do some things
before the assets are frozen.["l Do you brethren uphold this? God bless us and
God bless you Uncle Freel. I will be in contact. I will hang up and call back with
LeRoy Jeffs on the line you brethren if you will stay in place Hang up this phone
and we will be in contact. Thank you.

[Uncle Fred hung up. I am now conferencing with LeRoy Jeffs, William
Jessop and James Zitting.]

Okay. Are we all connected now? Alright.

Hello brethren. Hello brethren. Can LeRoy Jeffs hear us? Can you brethren
hear LeRoy and I? I am keeping a record with my scribe present and voicing what
is happening. I have by telephone: William Jessop, James Zitting and LeRoy
Jeffs on the line for an official trustees meeting of the United Effort Plan Trust.
And I present the issue that the Lord has directed me in these present lawsuits
to answer the courts and the apostates and our enemies answer them nothing
and that I have told Sam Barlow to dismiss our lawyers from these cases and we
are answering the courts nothing because to give an accounting to the courts
and our enemies the doings of God through the Prophets means ·we are
submitting the will of God to our enemies, we are surrenderiug to our enemies.
And we stand with God and Priesthood and the Celestial Law and I am to
answer our enemies nothing. With LeRoy .Jeffs on the line, do you uphold that
brother LeRoy? And brother William and brother James in LeRoy's hearing?
By me not answering the courts and them not even having a lawyer to
communicate with it will put myself, the Church and the UEP organization in
conflict with the government. And we can expect whatever they do against us
to be a test upon our people. But before that happens we need to transfer the
land that the Western Precision building is on over to the Western Precision
from the UEP. So I officially aslc Do you trustees uphold this. [sic1 Say your name
and that you uphold it. Then I put on the record that all the trustees including Uncle
Fred in our previous call uphold transferring the parcel of land that the Western

place shOlily after the Brent Jeffs and Lost Boys cases were filed, and in April of2005, resulted in
a fraudulent conveyance lawsuit brought in the Fifth Judicial District Court as Case No. 050500723.
That suit was ultimately dismissed after this Court appointed a special fiduciary who brought similar
litigation to recover the fraudulently conveyed UE? Trust property.

" Emphasis (bolded italics) added. Again, Jeffs and the trustees on the conference ea:!
anticipate that a court will soon seize and freeze the assets of the UE? Trust; and again, the only
concern is in liquidating certain marketable property before that happens.

"recision building is on aVe!' to Western Precision corporation. I also inform you that
our lawyers will be filing a lean against the land in the Apple Valley area on the UEP
land. They would not take lane! for a payment. They are concerned about getting
paid. So whatever happens in that direction our own lawyers are being used by the
evil powers to break us up. We are not surrendering the United Effort Plan Trust or
the Church organization and for sure we are not surrendering the Priesthood or the.
Celestial Law. What they do against us is the workings of wicked men and women.
We will go through the test, a similar test like the 1880's to see what we love
most.[I2] And I say to us: Stand with God, Priesthood, and the Celestial Law no
matter what they do to our possessions and our lands. It is me that are after
really. And I must continue the work of God even with this attack happening. Do
you brethren uphold this? Brother James is your testimony strong?

Remember that when the Lord has mehandle men for unwolihiness and you
don't Imow the revelations of God to the Prophet and what He has shown me, be
careful and don't take on a fear or a sympathy against authority. [I3J Know that the

12 This reference to a "similar test" in the 1880s is significant. "Tlu'oughout the 1880s federal
prosecution to enforce the Edmunds Act (1882) and the Edmunds-Tucker Act (1887) escalated."
B. Hales, Modern Polygamy and Mormon fundamentalism: The Generations After the Manifesto 41
(2006). The Edmunds-Tucker Act in particular put pressure on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
day Saints ("LDS Church") because the LDS Church had refused to give up its practice of polygamy
by giving the federal goverrunent "power to confiscate all [LDS] Church property (except chapels)
in excess of$50,000 and to dissolve the [LDS] Church as a corporate entity." Id. Rather than lose
its property, including the Salt Lake Temple, the LDS Church agreed to discontinue the practice in
1990. This decision, known as the "Manifesto," is seen by Fundamentalist Mormons as an
abomination. Here, Warren Jeffs is signaling that the FLDS Church will not fail a similar test even
If passing the test requires the loss of FLDS property. The present test of the FLDS, however, is
markedly different from the test faced by the LDS in the 1890s. Bigamy prosecutions of consenting
FLDS adults in plural marriages are extremely rare and the courts no longer require them to give up
that practice, although the courts can neither condone nor fUliher it. The test now faced by the FLDS
relates to the illegal marriage of girls-some as young as 12 years old, regardless of whether those
"marriages" are plural. Although the law will not allow any individual or entity to sexually abuse
children under a religious shroud, for the FLDS prophet to bow to the laws of society by agreeing
to constrain his ability to command spiritual marriages with young girls would be a "mini-
manifesto." This is the FLDS dilemma, and thus, the test that Warren Jeffs accurately predicted
would bring him and the FLDS Church into conflict with the courts. To pass the test, the FLDS
chose to fDlIow his command to answer the courts nothing, causing loss of FLDS Church control
over the UEP Trust. AltllOugh the FLDS Church lost control over homes and land, the FLDS
people themselves have not lost their right or ability to live in homes on UEP Trust land.

" The reference to "handling men" refers to the FLDS practice of expelling men from the
FLDS Church and their homes on UEP Trust land and frequently includes the subsequent

 9

Lord has the right to judge all people, and that what the Lord has me do I am not
accountable to any government on earth or court on earth for what the Lord
has done among His own people. They are trying to elictate God in what He cloes
with His own lands anel His own Priesthood people through these court cases anel
through persecution. I stand with God no matter what happens. And this is part of
the shaking the Lord had me warn the people about and it will result in the removing
of the halfhearted.[I4] And I hope that you brethren are firm and true and that
whatever we go through we will stand with God and Priesthood. And you will have
contact from me as you prove faithful. J am to let go of the halfhearted. J am not
giving up the United Effort Plan Trust or the Church organization but if the
government does something against us it is upon their own heads. And let us stand
firm with Priesthood and the Celestial Law. That is my message to you of the Lord,
brethren. And I will make a record. And [ ask brother LeRoy Jeffs to type up
minutes that [ will even sign that whatever happens Western Precision will be
protected and that we have stood united in answering the comis nothing. Wherever
that takes us brethren, let us rejoice in the Lord. Keep Zion growing by keeping that
constant prayer of gratitude exerted. Don't complain against our enemies. Thank the
Lord for this experience and let us go forward. This completes the UEP Trustee
meeting. Brother LeRoy [ have informed you that Uncle Fred was on the line with
three of us and heard the same things and upheld the same motions. You can put that
in the record that we are unanimous in this. God bless us dear brethren and I will be
in contact with you LeRoy on other issues. Do you need to direct Sam Barlow to
pC'epare that deed? Who needs to sign that deed? Can you sign it or do I need to?

Okay.

Exhibit C (emphasis added).

Not only did Jeffs and the trustees lmow that the increasing practice of placing ever younger

girls in spiritual marriages was on a collision course with the law, they characterized that inevitable

collision in terms of a "conspiracy" with the government, apostates and false bretlu·en. In fear of

reassignment of their wives and children (who are considered to belong to the Priesthood) to the
stewardship of another man. This practice has increased dramatically under Warren Jeffs' reign and
has divided scores, ifnot hundreds, offamilies. Sec e.g. J. Williams, Zero Chance, Power of Love
.. Love of Power (2009).

14 The reference to the "halfl1earted," as addressed below, refers generally to the FLDS
residents of Short Creek who remain there having not proven themselves worthy enough to be
invited to the lands of refuge in Texas, Colorado, South Dakota among otber locations kept secret
from the residents of Short Creek.

-9-
 10

remaining in Short Creek with what he considered to be the "halfhearted," where he may have been

arrested, Jeffs fled and began to establish places of refuge in various states, Those FLDS members

considered worthy and loyal enough to be invited to these lands of refuge (and thus allowed

association with the fugitive prophet) were given special instructions and removed from the forsaken

lands of the UEP Trust and taken to places of refuge

That instruction was communicated, in part, through a document entitled "Training Given

by President Warren S, Jeffs On the Places of Refuge to a Group of Men," dated February 21,2005,

("Warren Jeffs' Training"), A copy of Warren Jeffs' Training, which is attached hereto as Exhibit

E, was recovered from the vehicle in which he was a passenger at the time of his arrest some seven

miles north of Las Vegas on August 28, 2006 15 Warren Jeffs' Training confirmed the developing

conflict and again commanded that the faithful should answer the courts nothing,

The Lord revealed to me that ill 2003, a secret combination was in place
between the apostates everywhere, many ofthem, and the government officials, and
also traitors and halflleaJted men, false bretlu'en among the Priesthood people, And
that conspiracy involved taking me captive, putting me in jail, bringing forth
witnesses, that involved the passing of these laws, to call us criminals by performing
marriages, so-called "under-age" marriages, and proving that the United EffOli Plan
Trust and the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were so-
called "criminal organizations"; and thereby they plawled to dissolve the Trust,
tlu'ough their legal means take away OUT lands and houses,e'] and in their minds

15 Jeffs' Training was first made part oftlle pl'blic record by the State of Utah when it was

filed on November 1,2006 in the Fifth Judicial District Court in the matter of Stale v, Jeffs, Case No,

destroy the work of God. This has been in operation for two years now, this
conspiracy.

Training at p. 25.

Clearly, Warren Jeffs and all those who received Warren Jeffs' Training believed that the

UEP Trust property would be lost because of illegal marriages, contempt for the laws of society, alld

a strict religious directive to obstruct justice:

The Lord showed me they were going to take away our lands and houses. He
showed me that it was the intention of our enemies to pull me and many people into
court and turn traitor by bearing witness in court of my father's doings and my
doings, concerning the Celestial Law of Marriage, the judging of the people, bring
God into question and what He does among His Priesthood people and on His
Priesthood lands in His Celestial Law. And I say to you brethren, no person, no
court, no government, no people on the face of the whole earth has the right or
authority to bring God into question what He has his Prophets do in the
Celestial Law among His Priesthood people on His consecrated lands. That is
what these present lawsuits and attacks are. And so the Lord told me, "Answer them
nothing, and don't f'ive them any testimony or witness."

Id. at 29-30 (emphasis as in original).

Subsequently, on May 26,2005, this probate proceeding was commenced. On May 27, 2005,

this Comi issued a Temporary Restraining Order to secure Trust assets. The FLDS reaction was

immediate. Rather than seek an opportunity to be heard (which would have been contrary to their

religious choice to follow their prophet's command), on the morning of May 28, 2009, the FLDS

began to rapidly dismantle and remove an 18,000 square foot building from Trust property in open

defiance of this Court's order. Private Investigator Sam Brower witnessed and photographed the

incident:

secure in their homes than they have ever been. Thus, dire predications of losing homes come true,
if at all, only when the FLDS, exercising their religious right to jeopardize tlleir homes, refuse to pay
property taxes or otherwise refuse to cooperate, even minimally, with the Trust's administration.

11. After I got there, I notified the Washington County Sheriff's Office
of the situation, and Deputy Sheriff Russ Wright arrived at approximately 3:30 p.m.
! heard him asking the FLDS workers who WoeS in charge. The workers informed him
that they did not know. Deputy Wright responded by asking to see their
identification but they refused to identify themselves.

12. While Deputy Wright was trying to question one individual who had
refused to provide his identification, Jonathan Roundy and Fred Barlow, who are
Hilldale and Coloraclo City police officers and followers of Warren Jeffs, approached
us. Deputy Wright produced a copy of the TRO and Officer Roundy photographed
each page with a digital camera.

13. While I was photographing the license plates of many of the trucks
end documenting the building's removal with still photographs and video, an FLDS
adherent by the name of Kelly Fischer approached us and told us that the building
was on VEP land but that it belonged to him and ATI Construction. He further stated
that the work crew was there on the Bishop's business.

14. The BishDp in Hilldale and Colorado City is William E. Jessop, a.k.a.
William E. Timpson. He also claims to be one of the UEP Trust trustees. I
understood that the TRO in effect at the time suspended the Bishop's authority tD act
as a trustee.

IS. I told Kelly Fischer, Officers Roundy and Barlow and others present
that the Utah Attorney General had ohtained a TRO which enjoined the UEP Trust
trustees from conducting activity on behalf of the Trust and that the work crew
therefore CDuld nDt remDve the building on William Jessop/Timpson's orders.

Affidavit of Sam Brower, a CDPY of which is attached as Exhibit F, at 3-4. This incident illustrates

the FLDS pattern of obstructing this Court's orders which continues to this elate." It further

confirms that the religious exercise of answering the CDurtS nothing should never be cDnfused with

,vhat certain FLDS people nDW claim to be a deprivations of religious freedom stemming from their

feigned ignorance Dfthis Court's proceedings.

On August 6, 2005, more than two months after this probate matter was commenced, Jeffs

specifically addressed these proceedings in his record:

May the Lord guide me that I wi II not compromise in the slightest degree, knowing
that His will is the United Effort Plan Trust is rejected of God, and is not the
gathering place; and the people must qualify to come to the lands of refuge, or else
be rejected. And we will be scattered as a people and then the faithful will be
gathered. And that is the Lord's way, and we will not work out differences so called
with this judge and the government and compromise with the ways of the world.

See Record of President Warren Jeffs, entr·y for August 6, 2005, a copy of which is attached

hereto as Exhibit G. This portion of Warren Jeffs' Records was attached as Exhibit 8 to the Utah

Attorney General's Memorandum in Opposition to Petition for Extraordinary Writ in Case No.

20090859-SC.

Although some of his followers now apparently dislike the result, Jeffs' prophecies were self-

fulfilling. He set the events that culminated in the FLDS Church's loss of control over the Trust in

motion. First, in the late 1990s, he and other FLDS leaders began to use the Trust to facilitate

increasing numbers of illegal activities. Second, as he predicted, these illegal activities resulted in

civil tOli actions. Third, he commanded the FLDS to answer the comts nothing. Fourth, he

specifically made answering them nothing and the foreseeable loss of the UEP Trust a religious test.

Fifth, he purported to have received revelation that the Trust and halfhemied people were rejected

by God. Sixth, he caused certain UEP Trust property to be sold to support himself as FLDS prophet

and a federal fugitive. Seventh, he allowed the UEP Trust, FLDS Church, and himself to default in

the tort cases. Eighth, he commanded the FLDS people to exercise their religious rights to chose

between protecting the Trust and protecting their prophet and underage "marriage." Ninth, he and

the other former trustees abandoned the Trust and their fiduciary duties, requiring the Utah and

-13-
 14

Arlzol12. Attorneys Genera! to petltion for court intervention. Tenth, he refused to appear as this

Court intervened and eventually reformed the Trust to remove its unlawful purposes.'8 Eleventh,

years later, 19 he caused the commencement of extenslve litigatlon to assert the incredulous claim that

the FLDS' religious rights have been violated.'o The first ten of these eleven points resulted in

significant legal consequences for the FLDS as anticipated, ifnot orchestrated by Jeffs and the other

'" In deciding to reform the Trust, this Court elaborated and clarified that the Trust would
have failed had its sole purpose been to promote the practice of "polygamy, bigamy, or sexual
activity between adults and minors ... even in the name of sincerely held religious beliefs." See
Memorandum Decision dated December 13,2005, at 33.

19 During these years, numerous trust participants have relied in good faith on this Court's
orders and the Special Fiduciary's work by SUbmitting petitions for benefits and/or entering into
occupancy agreements with the Special Fiduciary. Indeed, despite a widespread lack of FLDS
cooperation, some FLDS families have and others still can take steps to obtain their individual
homes by following the procedures established by this Court. The FLDS Church, however,
continues to oppose any result that would not vest in its hands complete control over the Trust and
thus trust paliicipants. Illustrative of this opposition is the uncompromising FLDS Church's
obstruction to surveying, subdividing, and deeding individual lots. Should the FLDS Church regain
either directly or indirectly control over the Trust, the result will be obvious: The Trust will again
be used, as it has been used historically, to enforce the illegal and constitutionally unprotected
religious commands ofthe FLDS ChurchJUEP Trust leaders. See e.g, United Effort Plan Trust v.
Holm, 209 Ariz. 347, 349,101 P.3d 643, 643 (App. 2004) (trust participants kicked out of their
home on UEP Trust land and sued for forcible detainer after refusing to consent to an illegal
"spiritual marriage" oftheir fifteen-year old daughter) Extensive additional evidence afthe FLDS
Church, and its predecessor, "The Work" or "The Priesthood Work," using its control over 6e
homes, businesses, and land on Trust property to violate the law and to ultimately perpetuate the
systematic abuse of children was previously made part of the record in these proceedings. See e. g.,
The Original Interested Individuals' June 30, 2009 Objection to the Settlement Proposals Submitted
by the Utah Attorney General and the FLDS Church and the exhibits attached thereto. A compact
disc containing many of those exhibits, comprising some 1,400 pages, is attached as Exhibit H.

10 See e. g, Letters from Warren Jeffs to FLDS Church leaders, Merill Jessop and Wendell
Nielson dated November 9, 2007, attached as Exhibit 1. These partially redacted letters were
originally filed with the United Effort Plan Trust's December 18, 2009 Supplement to Motion (I)
for Order to Show Cause; (2) to Prohibit Further Unauthorized Filings; (3) to Compel Compliance
with Court's Previous Orders Regarding Former Trustees; (4) to Set Deadline for Production of
Documents and Accounting; (5) to Set Deposition Schedule; and (6) to Set Briefing Schedule.

fanner trustees. The eleventh is, of course, utter nonsense; far from being a depravation of FLDS

religious rights, the current state of affairs is the result of conscious religious choices by :he

FLDS.

In addition, there is a twelfth point According to Jeffs, having Willy Jessop and othors

demand the protection of religious rights is a stall tactic to temporarily retain UEP Trust land

Jeffs claims had been rejected by God years earlier) 'mtil certain remote projects are accomplished:

The Lord wants Lyle Jeffs to have Willie Jessop, Glade's son, head up a coalition of
saints, and write the judge in the UEP Case. Each demanding to have their rights
protected concerning their homes. This will make it so the Priesthood is answering
them nothing. But at the same time individuals are demanding their rights of
protection. The Lord wants the saints in Short Creek to do this to give them a
little more time to prepare and to retain a place a little longer in Short Creek,
so the Lord's will concerning the projects appointed can be accomplished.

Exhibit I (emphasis added).

There is no evidence that the "halfhearted," the "apostates," other trust participants, and the

UEP Trust itself are no longer rejected by Jeffs. That they remain in Short Creek evinces that (1)

they have not been invited to join the righteous in places of refuge or (2) have no interest in doing

so. Thus, all such trust paliicipants are unprotected in their homes (and at significant risk) on Trust

lands, unless the Trust continues to be administered in a religiously neutral maImer. All trust

participants should be secure in their homes as long as they wish to live in them in compliance with

the law. To the extent some trust participants may now be offended by having to live under a

religiously neutral Trust administration, they mLlst remember that they freely made choices which

necessit2ted such an administration.

-15-
 16

Although the FLDS have no right to violate the law, courts cannot force them to make the

choice to respond to lawsuits or appear in this Court's probate proceedings. Here, participation was

for the FLDS a matter of religious choice, or to be more exact, a specific religious test. Instead of

taking the necessary steps to bring the UEP Trust into compliance with the iaw,2! the FLDS elected

to follow their prophet" and chose instead to protect him and his arrangement of and involvement

in illegal marriages. The expected legal consequences were the result.

The FLDS's first attempt at active involvement in the probate proceedings was in August

of2008-over thIee years after these proceedings commenced and over a year and 10 months after

21 The FLDS have amply demonstrated that they have no intention to administer the Trust
in compliance with the laws of society. Indeed, as noted by this Comi they "openly promulgate the
practice of plural marriage [which includes the highly secretive practice of illegal underage spiritual
marriage 1and under previous Trust administration by FLDS leadership, Trust assets were allegedly
used in "urtherance of this illegal practice." Minute Entry Ruling Rejecting Settlement Proposals
and Ordering Release of Funds to the Special Fiduciary, dated July 22, 2009, at 3. Any FLDS effort
to regain control over the Trust is, therefore, "troubling in that it potentially provides for
unconstitntional distribution of Trust propeliy to an organization that likely will use it in support of
an illegal practice." ld.

" In early 2007, the FLDS people were given a remarkable opportunity to reject the course
charted by their prophet when he categorically denounced himself and stated that he had been
perpetuating a religious fraud on the faithful. Specifically, on January 24,2007, Jeffs's telephone
calls from the Purgatory Correctional Facility in Washington County were recorded as a matter of
routine while he denounced himself repeatedly to numerous FLDS leaders and members. The next
day, on January 25, 2007, during a lengthy jailhouse visit with his brother, Nephi Jeffs, he similarly
admitted his religious fraud and explicitly instructed that his confessions be disclosed to the FLDS.
This vis,t was also routinely recorded (via videotape) by the jail. Transcripts of Jeffs' telephone
conversations and his lengthy visit with his brother are collectively attached hereto as Exhibit
J-with peliinent portions highlighted in yellow. Exhibit J also includes copies of a CD and DVD
of the actual calls and visit. These transcripts acd recordings were first made public by the
Washington County Attorneys Office after Jeffs convictions in September of2007 as an accomplice
to the rapes of a 14 year old girl in the matter of State of Utah v. Warren Steed Jeffs, Case No.
061500526. Despite the nature of Jeffs personal repudiations and confessions, the FLDS have
apparently not heeded the words of their leader and-as a matter of religiolls right-have chosen to
stand by their prophet

-16-
 17

the final reformation oreler was entered 2J The excuse for belatedly bringing lawsuits, motions and

untimely appeals was the need to protect land for a temple, which had been identified as possible

Trust property to sale to raise funds for Trust administration. This Court has already noted the very

dubious nature of that stated justification." The Arizona Attorney General has posed the question:

"if the Trust's properties are [ail of a sudden] so sacrosanct and untouchable as the Petitioners

contend, then why did the [former] trustees, who included the highest ranging officials in the FLDS

Church, choose to abandon the Trust? See Memorandulll of tbe Arizona Attorney General in

Oppositon to Petition for Extraordinary Writ, Case \fo. 20090859. That question has finally been

answered: Jeffs commanded the FLDS to sacrifice the Trustto test their willingness to protect illegal

spiritual" marriages" with underage girls-and the FLDS passed that test and lost control over the

Trust as a free exercise of their religion. They cannot now be heard to complain that they have been

deprived ofihe very religious rights they have consciously exercised over the past several years.

Accordingly, The Original Interested Individuals respectfully recommend that this COUli

consider entering an order (I) allowing the Special Fiduciary and the Arizona and Utah Attorneys

General to further investigate, discover, and authenticate the issues addressed by the Original

Interested Individuals herein, and thereafter, (2) request that this Court strike past and enjoin future

filings by the FLDS as appropriate under the law and equity.

21 In August of2008, Willie Jessop, Dan Johnson and Merlin Jessop filed a motion to stay

sales of Trust property. The Emergency Motion for Stay of Sales of Trust Property was likely filed
at the behest of Warren Jeffs. See Exhibit 1.

CONCLUSION

In Summary, all ofthe trustees of the Trust, ircluding Leroy Jeffs, who was also the personal

representative of the Estate of Rulon Jeffs, and the other FLDS leaders at the highest levels of the

Church IUlew and indeed planned for their control over the Trust to be lost by the suspension and

replacement of the trustees and the reformation of the Trust itself. For years, these leaders and their

followers undertook continuous efforts to thwart this Court's work while answering it nothing.

Having exercised their religious choice not to be heard and having remarkably unclean hands, the

FLDS have lost their rights both in law and equity to seek relief from the consequences of their

religious choices, and, more impOliantly, they have lost the opportunity to use the Trust again to

accomplish their illegal actions. Accordingly, this Court should consider striking past and enjoining

future unwarranted filings as it deems just.

contact in plain view with evidence of additional crimil18i activily above and beyond what
was alleged in the application for Wan"ant M-08-001-S, including evidence of multiple
instances of bi gamy and sexual assault of addi Lonal children.

49. T}:e Comi finds that DFPS workers pursuant to the Court Order for Investigation of Child
 32

Abuse d8(ed April 3,2008, intervicw·:::d that resided at the \lFZ Ranch.

50 The Court finds that in the course of these interviews several females made statements \0
the DFPS workers that they were minors; that they were married to adult men that resided

they were assisting DFPS in cmying out the Court Order for Investi gation of Child Abme
dated April 3, 2008, that the peace officers obtained information from the representatives

:::JFPS workers that the Department applied to the Court for an additional Order in Aid cf

08-002-S to believe that crimes, including bigamy and sexual assaults of children, had
OCCUlTed and were OCCUlTing on the YFZ Ranch premises.

given binh to children as a result of these spiTitual malTiages.

55. The Couri finds that no credible evidence was introduced to suppOJi the Motion to
Suppress claim by Defendants that Ranger Long intentionally or knowingly included any
deliberate falsehood in the search warrant affidavit for Warrant M-08-002-S.

56. The Coun find no credible evidence was introduced to support the Motion to Suppress
c:aim by Defendants that Ranger Long intentionally or knowingly or with reckless
disregard for the truth omitted relevant infol11lation in his probable cause affidavits for
either Warrant M-08-001-S or Warrant M-08-002-S.

57. The COUli finds that no credible evidence was introduced to support the Motion to
Suppress claim by Defendants that Ranger Long acted in reckless disregard for the truth in
preparing and presenting the probable cause affidavits for either Warrant M-08-00l-S or
WalTant M-08-002-S.

58. The Court finds that no credible evidence was introduced to suppOli the Motion to
Suppress claim by Defendants that Ranger Long entertained doubts, much Jess serious
doubts, about the truth of the allegations in the the probable cause affidavits for either
Warrant M-08-001-S or Warrant M-08-002-S.

59. The C01ll1 finds that the Defendants failed to present credible evidence to support the
claims lllode in their offer of proof in SUpp0l1 of their Motion to Suppress that the
Ranger's probable cause affidavits JUlowingly or intentionally contained either deliberate
 33

falsehoods, dcliber8te omisslOns or reckless disregard lor lhe truth by the affiant in
obtaining either sC81ch and 3lTesl warrall! M-08-001-S or M-08-002-S.

60. The Comi finds that during the evidentiary hearing there was no credible evicience
mtroduced to establish the truth of the allegations contained in Defendants Joint
Consolidated Motion to Suppress offer of proof that portions of of the probable cause
affidavits for Warrants M-08-001-S or M-08-002-S contained a deliberate falsehood or
reckiess d,sregard for the truth.

61. The Court finds that during the evidentwry heming on Defendants' Motion counsel for
Defendants acknowledged that the picture that Defendants had attached as Exhibit 1-E of
the Joint Consolidated Motion to Suppress was attached to the Motion without having
been authenticated as being related to this matter. In fact, Exhibit J-E is a photograpl
taken during the course of an unrelated drug arrest that occurred outside of the State of
;exas. The COUJi further finds that defendant's attorney attempted to withdraw said
photograph after they confirmed that it was not related.

62. The Court finds that Ranger Long did not deliberately or recklessly omit information from
either probable cause affidavit and that if there were any unintentional omission their
i:1clusion would not have resulted in providing the magistrate with information that would
have caused a reasonable magistrate to decline to authorize Wan'ant M-08-001-S Or
Warrant M-08-002-S.

63. The Court finds that given the facts and circumstances ofthe YFZ Ranch property, and the
nature of the allegations made by the outcry victims, the descriptions of the places to be
searched in Warrants M-08-00J-S and M-08-002-S were sufficiently specific.

64. The Court finds that the probable cause af'idavit in support of Warrant M-08-Q02-S
contained infollTlation supplied by a confidenllal infOlwanl. The Court further finds that i·
heard no evidence challenging the infollTlation provided by the confidential informant.

65. The Court finds no credible evidence that at the time that Ranger Long included any of the
statements in his probable cause affidavit in support of Search and Arrest Warrant No. M-
08-001-S that he intentionally or knowingly or recklessly misrepresented to the magistrate
any relevant infonnation nor that he witr,held any relevant infollTlation from the
magistrate.

66. The court finds that Defendants' offer of proof of deliberate falsehoods contained wi thin
the probable cause affidavits to support the two waITants is unsupported by credible
evidence.

CONCLUSlONS 0]7 LAW

I. No search warrant shall issue by a magistrate unless sufficient facls are first presented to
satisfy the issuing magistrate that probable cause does in facl exisl for its issuance. A
sworn affidavit setting f01ih substantial facts establishing probable cause shall be flied if
every instaJlcc in which a search waTTant is requested.

2. No arrest warrant shall issue unless there is a finding by the issuing magistrate that the
request is supported by an affidavit that sets forlh sufficient infonnation that an individual
has committed some offense against the laws af the State and the warrant must specify Ihe
name of the person who is to be arrested and it must state the offense that the person is
accused of having committed.

J. Arrest and Search Wanant must be issued only upon a finding by the issuing magistrate
that the request is supporied by an affidavit that sets fOrih sufficient infonnatiol1 that
would constitute probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed and that Ihe
evidence of a crime will be found at the place 10 be searched.

4. A Probable Cause Affidavit may be based on the affiant's personal knowledge and lor on
infonnation that the affiant has ifit is from a reasonably trustworthy source.

5. On a Motion to Suppress Hearing the Court must review the sufficiency of the Probable
Cause affidavit by conducting a review of the information actually contained within the
«cour comers" of the probable cause affidavit.

6. On a Motion 10 Suppress Hearing when the Defendant contests the trulhfulness of Ihe
Probable Cause affidavit or if the Defendant asseris that the Probable Cause Aflldavit
contains statements that were made by the affiant with a reckless disregard for the truth,
then the Court must conduct an evidentiary heering to determine if the offer of proof made
by the Defendant is con-ect.

7. lf the COUli after this evidence concludes that the Probable Cause Affidavit contains
deliberate false slatements, or thai it was made with reckless disregard for the truth the
Court shall review the Probable Cause affidavit after these statements are redacted from
the affidavit.

8. The Defendant must establish the allegations that he makes in his offer of proof by a
preponderance of the evidence and if he meels this burden of proof Ihen the reviewing
CDurt must remove those allegalions from Ih" probable cause affidavit and review the
redacted affidavit to detennine if probable C'llS, remains.

9. The Couri concludes as a malter of Law that Ihe evidence that Defendants presented at the
Motion to Suppress Hearing failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the
 35

Probable Cause Aff1dav}(s contnined deiiberZlte falsehoods or that they wele D13de \Nitb a
reckless disregard for the trulh. The Coun concludes that the Probable Calise Affidavils
contained no deliberale falsehoods and thai :hey were not made with a reckless disregard
for the t!1.lth.

iO. In reviewing a Probable Cause Affidavit tbe affidavit is nol subject to attack if subsequent
investigation establishes 1ha1 in[011113tion that the officer reasonably believed to be truthful
at the time that i1 was swom subsequently is determined to be false.

II. A Probable Cause Affidavit may be based upon hearsay if the affidavit contains sufficient
infomlation that would cause the affiant to believe that the information was reliable or
credible and if the infonnation would establish a valid basis for the belief that a crime had
been committed and that a search of the named place could result in evidence of the crime
being seized. Funhennore, if information contained within the Probable Cause Affidavit
is not within the personal knowledge of Ihe affiant, Ihe affidavit must advise the
magistrate of how the affiant acquired the infonnation.

12. The Court concludes as a matter of law that the Probable Cause Affidavits for M-08-
001-S and M-08-002-S complied with this law.

13. Based on the Court's factual detemlinations, the Court has detennined that no Franks v.
Delaware, 438 U.S. 154,98 S. Cl. 2674 (1978) violation occurred with respect to Warrant
M-08-001-S or Warrant M-08-002-S.

14. The Coun concludes thai Ihe "four comers" of the affidavits in question provided
sufficient probable cause to enter and search the entire YFZ Ranch premises, as described
in the warrants, and to seize property on the premises as described in the warrants.

15. Pursuant to the Couri's factual detemlinations, the Court concludes that the descriptions of
the places to be searched in Warrants M-08-001-S and M-08-002-S were sufficiently
specific.

16. The Coun finds that Ihe offer of proof that Defendants provided 10 the Court in support of
their request for an evidentiary hearing under Franks was not supported by Ihe evidence.

17. The COU1i concludes that both Warrants .M-08-001-S and M-08-002-S were validly
issued upon appropriate probable cause, and met all applicable requisites of the
Constitution of the United States of America, the Constitution and Laws of the State OC
Texas including the requirements of Chapter 18 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure
and other applicable law.

18. The Court concludes that Defendants have standing to challenge the searches.

19. The Consti1ution of the United States of America, the Constitution of the State of Texas,
and tbe Texas Religious Freedom Act, Tex. Civ. Practice & Remedies Code Section
I 10.001 el seq provide for the free exercise of religion.
 36

20. The Court concludes thai for the state to i:1terfere with an individual's righl to freely
exercise his religion and thus by goven11Jlental aclion burden that individual)s religiolls
practice the stale's action must be subjected to the rigid standard of strict scrutiny and the
state must demonstrate a compelling goverm'1ental interest. The Court concludes that the
Stale's action in protecting minors and enforcing the penal laws of this state complies
'Nith these requirements.

The Court concludes that based upon the above factual detenninations and consideration of the
applicable law, that the Defendants' Motions to Suppress Warrant M-08-001-S and M-08-002-S
should be denied.

PETlTlON FOR ORDERS IN AID OF INVESTIGATION

OF A REPORT OF CHILD ABUSE OR NEGLECT

This Petition is filed, pursuant 10 Chapter 261, Texas Family Code, by the Department of Family
and Protective Services ("the Department"), whose address is 622 South Oakes, Suite L, San
Angelo, Texas for the purposes of § 30.015, Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code.

1. Purpose

!.1. The Department is required to make a prompt and thorough investigation of

reports of child abuse or neglect allegedly committed by a person or persons
respons ible for the ch ildrens' care, custody, or wei fare, pursuant to §261.301,
Texas Family Code.

1.2. The Department, for the reasons shown below and in an affidavit attached hereto
an incorporated herein ;n its entirety, requires court orders permitting entrance for
interview, examination, and investigation at all of the childrens' homes, schools
or other facilities, for release of all of the childrens' prior medical,psychologicai
or psychiatric records, and/or for medical, psychological, or psychiatric
examination of allthe children, pursuant to §§261.303, Texas Family Code.

2. Facts and Request for Orders

On March 29, 2008. the Department received, and has probable cause to investigate, a
report of child abuse and/or neglect with respect to the children at the YFZ Ranch in
Eldorado, Sch leichtr County Texas. The Department, during its investigation of the
allegations made by Sarah Jessop, obtained access to the YFZ Ranch. While at the
ranch, the Department observed a number of young teenaged girls who appeared to be
pregnant, as well as several teenaged girls who reported to the Department that they
have already given birth and have their own infants. It appears that the culture and
moral climate at the ranch is one in which young girls are conditioned to expect and
accept sexual activity with adult men at the ranch.

The Department has also been advised that children at the ranch are deprived of nutrition
as a method of punishmenl. as well as being forced to .Iii in closed closets uS a method of
punishment.
A number of the children interviewed were unable to provide the names of their
biological parents and were unable [a provide illfolTllation such as their own bir1hdates

bir!hpiaces. The Department is concerned about the possibility that some of these
::::hildt-en have been denied a proper education.

Department Investigators have been denied access to some children. On at least one
)ccasion, Investigators have been able to sec children through windows of houses but
nave been denied entnlnce jnto those houses and been denied 8ccess to those
:hildren.

The investigation should be completed to ensure the safety and welfare of the children.

2.1. As more particularly shown in the attached affidavit, the Department has
attempted to make a thorough investigation of the report, but cannot obtain
admission to the homes or schools, or access to the children, or cooperation of the
parents or others responsible for the care of the children.

2.2. The children the subject of the report are residing with persons unknown at YFZ
Ranch, Eldorado, TX 76936.

2.3. The investigation can be completed and a proper determination made only if this
Court orders a parent or person responsible for the childrens' care to cooperate in
the investigation, orders an authorized representative of the Department to have
immediate access to the children, and orders medical, psychological or psychiatric

EFFORT PLAN TRUST, (Dated November SAM BROWER

Amended and Restated on November 3,

TIMPSON AND DOE TRUSTEES I
THROUGH IX. Judge Robert Adkins

STATE OF UTAH )
: ss
COUNTY OF SALT LAKE )

I, Sam Brower, having been duly sworn, states as follows:

,I I have personal knowledge of the matters set forth herein.

2. I have worked for approximately 10 years as a licensed private investigator in the

State of Utah.
 96

3. During the past year, I have spent most of my professional time investigating the

United Effort Plan Tmst ("UEP Trust" or 'Trust"], the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Chuist of

Latter Day Saints ("FLDS Church") and its principles, particularly Warren Jeffs on behalf of the

plaintiffs in civil litigation. r----

4. As part of my investigation, I have spent significant time in Hildale, Utah; Colorado

City, Arizona; Eldorado, Texas; Mancos, Colorado; Salt Lake City, Utah; Bountiful, British

Columbia, Canada; and other areas populated by members and former members of the FLDS

Church. I have also interviewed scores of members and former members of the FLDS Church, and

have reviewed voluminous documents and public records relating to the UEP Trust, the FLDS

Church and Warren Jeffs.

5. Warren Jeffs is the self-proclaimed prophet and president ofthe FLDS Church and

the president ofthe UEP Tmst

6. On the afternoon ofMay27, 2005, I learned that the Third Judicial District Court had

entered an Ex-ParteTemporary Restraining Order Appointing a Special Fiduciary and Suspending

the Trustees ("TRO") of the UEP Trust Later that afternoon, I received a copy ofthe TRO.

7. On the morning of May 28, 2005, I was contacted by Gary Engles who is an

investigator for the Mojave County Attorney and who works primarily in Colorado City, Arizona .

. Investigator Engles notified me that efforts had apparently been underway thu·oughout the previous

night in Hildale, Utah to remove property from a large steel building the size of a commercial

airplane hanger constructed on UEP land, and that the building itselfwas also being dismantled.

-2-
 97

8. I was familiar with the building and the surrounding property which I had observed

many times before the entry of the TRO. The building was used as a manufacturing facility to

process logs for log homes.

9. I had last seen the building intact and operational on the afternoon of May 27,2005.

At that time, I noticed nothing out of the ordinary and did not see anyone removing the building's

contents or dismantling it.

10. In response to Investigator Engles' call, I arrived in Hildale at approximately 2:30 on

the afternoon of May 28. By the time I arrived, the building had been completely emptied and was

being rapidly tom down by a crew of approximately SO men and boys who I recognized to be

followers of Warren Jeffs. I observed numerous trucks ranging from pick-ups to semis loaded and

being !caded with the building's contents, office furniture and pieces of the building's steel siding.

11. After I got there, I notified the Washington County Sheriffs Office of the situation,

and Deputy Sheriff Russ Wright arrived at approximately 3:30 p.m. I heard him asking the FLDS

workers who was in charge. The workers informed him that they did not know. Deputy Wright

responded by asking to see their identification but they refused to identify themselves.

12. While Deputy Wright was trying to question one individual who had refused to

provide his identification, Jonathan Roundy and Fred Barlow, who are Hildale and Colorado City

police officers and followers of Warren Jeffs, approached us. Deputy Wright produced a copy of

the TRO and Officer Roundy photographed each page with a digital camera.

13. While I was photographing the license plates of many of the trucks and documenting

the building's removal with still photographs and video, an FLDS adherent by the name of Kelly

-3-
 98

Fischer approached us and told us that the building was on UEP land but that it belonged to him 2nd

ATI Construction. He further stated that the work crew was there on the Bishop's business.

14. The Bishop in Hi1dale and Colorado City is William E. Jessop, a.k.a. William E.

Timpson. He also claims to be one of the UEP Trust trustees. I understood that the TRO in effect

at the time suspended the Bishop's authority to act as a trustee.

15. I told Kelly Fischer, Officers Roundy and Barlow and others present that the Utah

Attorney General had obtained a TRO which enjoined the UEP Trust trustees from conducting

activity on behalf of the Trust and that the work crew therefore could not remove the building on

William Jessop/Timpson's orders.

16. Deputy Sheriff Wright also advised Officers Roundy and Barlow, Kelly Fischer and

others present that he would submit a report of the incident to the Third Judicial District Court.

17. I remained at the site until about 5:00 p.m. by which time the crew had almost

removed the entire building and was hauling it away on trucks.

18. I returned to Hildale on the morning of May 30. By that time, the only improvements

remaining on the land included a log structure used as an office and some small out-buildings which

had housed controls for milling machinery. Some milling machinery, equipment and log and lumber

inventories were also present.

19. With the assistance of lnvestigator Engles, [measured the cement pad on which the

now-removed building had stood. The building's footprint measured 90 feet by 220 feet, or

approximately 18,000 square feet in size. All electrical, plumbing and infrastl1lcture connections

had been severed.

-4-
 99

20. While I was photographing the site on May 30 with Investigator Engles, Officer Fred

Barlow arrived, informed us that we were trespassing and directed us to leave the property. I again

showed Officer Barlow a copy of the TRO but he insisted that we were trespassing on private

property without the owner's consent and needed to leave. Having completed our photographing

and measuring, we left without incident.

21. I returned to Hildale on May 31. By that time, the remaining out-bui ldings, mil Eng

machinery, equipment and log and lumber inventories had also been removed from the Hildale

property.

22. On May 30, while in Colorado City which adjoins Hildale to form one town,

Investigator Engles and I observed that another building had also been pulled from its foundation

and removed. It appeared that this building, located across the street from the Colorado Unified

School District's administrative offices, may also have been removed since the entry of the TRO.

It is my understanding that this building was located on UEP Trust land.

23. During the year that I have investigated the UEP Trust, theFLDS Church and Warren

Jeffs, I have observed homes on UEP Trust land vacated by their occupants and I have observed

other households reorganized and moved from one home to another. Based on my investigation,

this has occurred under the direction of Warren Jeffs.

24. As ofJune 3, 2005, I have observed that several homes on UEP Trust land in Hildale

and Colorado City have been vacated and their contents removed. Based on my investigation, it

appears to me that Warren Jeffs' pattem of removing people and their possessions from homes

belonging to the UEP Trust has continued since entry of the TRO.

Dcar Brother Weodcll:

1he Lord has shown me that your wife her mother

through Dr. Lloyd.

Private Dote to Brother Merril QNL Y

Dear Brother Merril:
The Lord has shown me that my s o n " has been immoral with one of my daughters.
interview him with his mother present, and see that he is sent to the house in hiding where my
wife _ is staying. Also have - . take my son _ from R23 to stay with his mother at the
house in hiding, and have_Allred teach_and" their schooling. Have'-set up
with woodwork tools to teach these boys to make useful projects for the storehouse.
Have_tell_Allred and keep the boys busy and separate from any of the ladies
areas.
The Lord has also shown me that two of your children in your home at Rl7 are seeking
each other, and that they need to be separated. Send your daughter_ to R23 to stay with your
family there. Have your son_leave Rl7 for a time and get ajob with Lee Steed's
construction crew to learn that skilL Tell him to keep the Lord's confidence and keep preparing
to be used in the redemption of Zion mission.
There is a conspiracy on the land Rl7 that you need to beware of away
to repent at a distance and call upon him to clean up his life. He must write a confession letter
and be told that he does not hold Priesthood and his family is released. He should be sent to a
state in the west, preferably Oregon, and to have no contact whatsoever with his fanner family,
with apostates, with his relatives, or with any Priesthood people. Tell him to keep the Lord's
confidence conceming the mission, and stay in contact by letter with you conceming his
repentance. This is the man the Lord had me warn you about before.
The Lord wants Lyle Jeffs to have Willie Jessop, Glade's son, head up a coalition of
saints, and write the judge in the UEP Case, each deJlanding to have their rights protected
conceming their homes. This will make it so the Priesthood is answering them nothing, but at
the same time individuals are demanding their rights of protection. The Lord wants the saints in
Short Creek to do this to give them a little more time to prepare and to retain a place a little
longer in Short Creek, so the Lord's will concerning the projects appointed can be accomplished.
Have Willie retain an attorney to represent many of our people, as a group of individuals
demanding the protection of their rights, withouLbringing in the authorities of the Church. That
way they will do the Lord a service of justifying Him in bringing judgment upon those who seek
our destruction. Be careful and do not include those who are disaffected. Everyone does not
have to be included. Just have him choose between thirty and forty Elders who will stand united
anel demand their rights as citizens.
I also infonn you that 2 does not hold Priesthood. Infonn him through.
Lyle that he does not hold Priesthood, and that his fa:nily is released, and that he should close
down his affairs in Colorado. Have Lyle tell Glen Nielsen Jeffs that he should be the caretaker of
 11 6

this family, and he move [hem back (0 Short Creek to stay in (he former home of LeRoy Jeffs
that Alvin Barlow's family just moved out of, and inform him that
cloes not hold Priesthood, and should not have contact with his former family. 11
should stay in contact with Lyle by ',etter and move to the state of Nevada to continue his
renentance.
, I-lave _Jeffs go on a special mission to Rl and R23 and read the transcript and
revelation given October 4, 2007 at the visit, and bear testimony to the people. Have
_ g o with him.
There should not be a traveling mission of the First Presidency this month. I-lave the
mission be sufficient. effs should read to the people and my family in the
meetings at Rl and R23 the last two revelations that were read in General Meeting at R17 also

War-ren: "Give this to all the priesthood people, this message to you, alright?

Nephi:

Warren: "Let everyone see the video who wants to."

"The Lord wants me to ... (crying) tllat be finally shed a tear for, the Lord, bis God, '11110
has redeemed his son."
"He whispers that you, Nephi, need to get a copy of this video before you leave, if you
can or order it."
"You can tell he's still dictating to me to tel] you, Nephi, before he leaves me to my
punishment. To Nephi, you can tell anybody who wants to read this message, or see the
video, that they can see it, even apostates and gentiles. That tbey may know that I have
been a liar and the truth is not in me."
"Tell the family I will not be calling anymore, not even today. "
"Thank you."

Nephi: "We love you."

"This is a test. You are the prophet."

Warren: "If you would Nephi, you could keep a little money in commissary, whatever
prison I'm put in, but it's up to you."

Nephi: "We will not forsake you."

Warren: IIJust a minute. II

"The Lord is still dictating."
"This is not a test, this is a revelation from the Lord, God of Heaven, through his fanner
servant, who is never his servant, who is dictating these words at this time, that you
may know, this is not a test."
"I say farewell again, to all who qualify for Zion."
"Farewell. "

Nephi: "We love you. We love you. We love you."

FridaY, November 9, 2007;

Dear Brother Wendell:

The Lord has shown me that your wife _and her mother should move to il
house in hiding, and undergo her medical treatments there. Please get this arranged right away
through Dr. Lloyd.

Printe note to Brother Men'il ONLY

Dear Brother Mefrit:
The Lord has shown me that has been immoral with . . . . . . .11
Interview him with his mother present. and see that he is sent to the house in hiding where my
wife Gloria is s"1ying. Also have Isaac take my son Roy from R23 to stay with llis mother at the
house in hiding, and have Seth Allred teach Roy and _ _ their sChooling. Have !saitO set np
Seth Allred with woodwork 100is to teach these boys to make useflll projects for the storehouse.
Have lsaao tell Seth Allred and Gloria to keep the boys busy and separate from any of the ladies
areas.
The Lord has also shown me that two ofyoll! children in your home at R17 are seeking
each other, and that they need to be separated. Send your daughter _ t o R23 to stay with your
fmuily there. Have your son _leave RI7 for a time and get a job with Lee Steed's
constmction crew to learn that skill. Tell him to keep the Lord's confidence and keep preparing
to bellsed in the redemption of ZiOn mission.
There is a conspiracy on the land Rl7 that you need to beware of. Send Paul Allred away
to repent at a distance and call upon him to clean up his life. He must write a confession letter
and be told that he does not hold Priesthood and his fa.mily is released. He should be sent to a
state in the west, preferably Oregon, and to have no contact whatsoever with his fonner family,
with apostates, with his relatives, or with any Priesthood people. Tell him to keep the Lord's
confidence concerning the mission, and stay in contact by letter with you concerning his
repentance. This IS the man the Lord had me warn you about before.
The Lord wants Lyle Jeffs to have Willie Jessop, Glade's son, head IIp a coalition of
saints, and write the judge in the UEP Case, each demanding to have their rights protected
conceming their homes. This will make it so the Priesthood is answering them nothing, but at
the same time individuals are demanding their rights ofprotectiOIl. The Lord WllntS the saints in
Short Creek to do this to give them a little more time to prepare and to retain a place a little
longer in Short Creek, so the Lord's will conceming the projects appointed cm] be accomplished.
Have Willie retain an attorney to represent many of our people, as a group of individuals
demanding the protection oftbelr rights, wilhont bringing in the authorities of the Church. That
way they will do the Lord a service of justifying Him in bringing judgment upon those who seek
our dest.ruction. Be careful and do not include those who are disaffected. Everyone does not
ha:ve to be included. Just have him choose betwcen thirty and forty Elders who will stand united
and demand their rights as citizens.
I arso inform you that John Nielsen Jeffs does not hold Priesthood. lnfonn him tluough
Lyle that he does not hold Priesthood, and that his family is released, and that he should close
down his affairs in Colorado. Have Lyle tell Glen Nielsen Jefts that he should be the caretaker of

MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION TO
MOTION TO STAY

Civil No. 053900848

Judge Denise Posse Lindberg

Bruce R. Wi san, as Court -appointed Special Fiduciary Cthe Fiduciary") ofthe United Effort

Plan Trust (the 'Trust"), and pursuant to UTAH R. Civ. P. 7 and UTAH CODE ANN. 78B-6-302(2),

submits the following reply memorandum in support of his Motion (1) For Order to Show Cause;
 171

(2) To Prohibit Further Unauthorized Filings; (3) To Compel Compliance With Court's Previous

Orders Regarding Former Trustees; (4) To Set Deadline for Production of Documents and

Accounting; (5) To Set Deposition Schedule; and (6) To Set Briefing Schedule (the "OSC Motion").

This memorandum also serves as the Fiduciary's response in opposition to: (1) Motion to Stay,

purportedly filed by of the Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Fundamentalist Church of

Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("CPBFLDS" or "Warren Jeffs") and Leroy Jeffs ("collectively the

Removed Trustees); (2) the creatively-titled "Combined Memorandum in Opposition to Special

Fiduciary's and Arizona Attorney General's Motions to Expand Litigation,' and in Support of

Motion to Stay" ("the Stay Memo") filed by the Removed Trustees; and (3) the Opposition

Memorandum ("the Cities' Memo") filed on behalf of Hilda Ie, Utah and Colorado City, Arizona (the

"(Twin Cities").

INTRODUCTION

The Fiduciary and counsel for Intervenors' can at least agree on one thing: the current statLrs

of the UEP Trust is untenable. The Intervenors' repeated attempts to prevent the Fiduciary from

fulfilling his Court-appointed duties - in violation of the Orders ofthe Court - have placed the Trust

,j! 'It is unclear how the Fiduciary's OSC Motion, which focuses on asking the Former Trustees
to comply with this Court's earlier orders, can fairly be characterized as a request to expand
litigation. The Former Trustees have had duties to provide information to the Fiduciary in this
litigation for years.

'''Intervenors'' refers herein to each of the FLDS-controlled parties who have sought to
intervene in this litigation: The Removed Trustees, the Corporation of the President of the
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, The Corporation ofthe Presiding Bishop
of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (which has not even filed a motion
to intervene but is a party to the Motion to Stay, and has therefore violated the Stand Down Order
in its own right), the City of Hildale, Colorado City, Lyle Jeffs, Jim Oler, Willie Jessop, Dan
Johnson, and Merlin Jessop.

-ll-
 172

In a CrIStS. The presently pending Motions provide the Court with two distinct options in response

to such crisis:

First, the Fiduciary's proposal is to abide by the tenns of the Reformed Declaration of Trust,

with the immediate goal of putting an end to the Trust's expensive legal battles by distributing

property to the Trust Participants (a substantial majority of which may be FLDS members). The

Fiduciary's OSC Motion seeks to accomplish this goal by enforcing the prior Orders of the Court

which were designed to protect the Trust, and by allowing the Fiduciary to receive relevant Trust

documents which have been improperly withheld from the Fiduciary. By granting the OSC Motion,

the Court will place the Trust in a better position to achieve a recording of the subdivision plats and

the distribution of property to the individual beneficiaries.

In contrast, the Intervenors aggressively oppose the Fiduciary's efforts to distribute property

to the people. Instead, they have filed the present Motion to Stay seeking to stop the Fiduciary's

administration of the Trust-with the ultimate goal of destroying the Reformed Declaration of Trust

and conveying the Trust's property to an unidentified, unaccountable FLDS leadership elite (fronted

by Willie Jessop). Such shadow elite purports to represent all of the FLDS people, yet has

consistently opposed all efforts by this Court and the Fiduciary to allow those individuals to speak

for themselves or to petition the Trust for deeds to their homes. Instead, this shadow elite demands

that all property be conveyed to an entity controlled by an unidentified group of "leaders" based upon

the assertion that their religion precludes them from communicating with the Fiduciary or the Court

or from petitioning for the homes that they built and/or live in.

The Intervenors' proposal suffers from nnmerous problems. It is contrary to law and is based

upon a upon a number of false and misleading factual allegations. The problems with the

-lll-
 ) )

Intervenors' position are confinned by new evidence coming to light (which the Intervenors are

desperately attempting to hide). Among other things, such new evidence establishes that, if the

property were to be conveyed to the FLDS leadership, the people would once again be at a

substantial risk oflosing their homes. Although the Intervenors would have the Court believe that

the "FLDS people" they purport to represent are no longer controlled by Warren Jeffs, the evidence

establishes that the Intervenors, like Willie Jessop, are in fact still operating under the direction of

My. Jeffs. Warren Jeffs is the same individual who:

1. Ordered his followers not to defend lawsuits against the Trust and to put their homes

on Trust property in jeopardy rather than appear in Court to answer charges of child

abuse and abandonment of the Trust3

2. Has defiantly sworn that he and his followers will not stop the unlawful practice of

child marriage, a declaration that Mr. Jeffs does not appear to have renounced to this

day'

3. Violated this Court's order to tum over Trust documents to the Fiduciary.

4. Threatened followers with expulsion if they complied with subpoenas or testified

'Record of President Warren Jeffs, September 1, 2004, page 3, attached hereto as Exhibit 1

'See, January 16,2003 Record of Warren Jeffs, attached hereto as Exhibit 2:

I then asked him, "What is all this talk about compromise?" He explained to me that
one of the higher officials in the Attorney-General's offices infonned one of our
lawyers that the Attorney-General wants out of this if he can help them save face
through a compromise; and what they really want is the leadership ofthis Priesthood
to say or even imply that we will no longer perform underage marriages ... There
will be no compromise. I do not even want to imply a compromise.

about his unlawful conduct.'

5. Was convicted in Utah of Accessory to Rape charges and is awaiting trial in Arizona

on charges of sexual conduct with a minor and incest, and in Texas on charges of

sexual assault of a child.

6. Has ordered his lawyers to evict a family from Trust property because the mother

refused his demand that her 15-year-old daughter marry a 39-year-old man.'

7. Has unconstitutionally usurped control of governmental entities and used them to

discriminate against "apostates."

That Mr. Jeffs is behind the Intervenor's efforts to regain control of the Trust is made clear

by the November 9,2007 letter from Warren Jeffs instructing Intervenors, led by Willie Jessop, to

launch the present attack against this Court and the Fiduciary:

The Lord wants Lyle Jeffs to have Willie Jessop, Glade's son, head up a coalition of
saints, and write the judge in the UEP case, each demanding to have their rights
protected concerning their homes. This will make it so the Priesthood is answering
them nothing, but at the same time individuals are demanding their rights of
protection. The Lord wants the saints in Short Creek to do this to give them a little
more time to prepare and to retain a place a little longer in Short Creek, so the Lord's
will concerning the projects appointed can be accomplished. Have Willie retain an
attorney to represent many of our people, as a group of individuals demanding the
protection of their rights, without bringing in the authorities of the Church. That way
they will do the Lord a service of justifying Him in bringing judgment upon those
who seek our destruction. Be careful and do not include those who disaffected.
Everyone does not have to be included. Just have him choose between thirty and
forty Elders who will stand united and demand their rights as citizens.

A copy of the letter was attached to the Fiduciary's Supplement to the OSC Motion.

The Fiduciary has a Court-appointed fiduciary duty to preserve and protect the assets of the

Trust for the benefit of the Trust Participants. The Fiduciary cannot imagine a greater breach of this

duty than to place the Trust assets into the control of a man who would immediately place such

assets at risk of loss. As the Court is aware, in the past, the Trust has been subjected to mUltiple

lawsuits based upon the personal misconduct of Warren Jeffs, including aiding in the rape of

children in the name of "religious freedom.,,7 Mr. Jeffs refused to defend the Trust against such

lawsuits, placing the assets of the Trust at a serious risk ofloss. Later, when the Court intervened

to protect the beneficiaries, Mr. Jeffs violated the Court's Orders to produce Trust documents,

provide an accounting, or cooperate in the administration of the Trust. Rather, he attacked the Trust

and caused it to suffer further damages. Mr. Jeffs has never accounted for his prior misconduct. He

has provided no assurances that such misconduct will not continue in the future. Furthermore,

Warren Jeffs, and the two FLDS corporations which he controlled have all been named as defendants

in tort litigation, and have defaulted in such litigation. Thus, it is very clear that if the Trust assets

are placed into the control of Warren Jeffs or his FLDS corporations, the homes of the people will

once again be at risk and will likely be lost to the people.

'To be clear, with the exceptions of illegal activities - underage marriage and illegal
domination of civic government - the Fiduciary does not oppose the exercise ofFLDS doctrines and
practices of which he is aware. For example, the efforts ofthe FLDS to live their law of consecration
are commendable. The Fiduciary has repeatedly stated that he will not oppose the distribution of
Trust property to FLDS participants who are then free to conveyor transfer that property for any
religious purpose they choose. However, nothing in the Fiduciary's duty to administer the Trust in
a religiously neutral manner or the First Amendment can be read to render the sexual victimization
ofa twelve-year-old girl a protected religious practice.

-v\-
 176

The Fiduciary cannot give in to Intervenors' threats and intimidation' by retuming control

of the Trust to the same people who have harn1ed the Trust in the past, and who have used the Trust

property to commit crimes against children - especially where orders of this Court have already

established that the Former Trustees were not acting in the best interests of the Trust's beneficiaries.

That is why this Court should adopt the proposals of the Arizona Attorney General and the Fiduciary

for discovery into the conduct, representations and motives of those who oppose the Court's effolis

to distribute Trust property to individual participants and demand the Trust be "returned to the FLDS

Church."9

In responding to the OSC Motion, the Intervenors ignore the relevant issues, and seek to

divert the Court's attention with irrelevant, false, and misleading allegations against the Fiduciary.

The Intervenors tellingly ignore the key issue in the OSC Motion: the fact that the Intervenors have

repeatedly violated the Orders of this Court. Instead, they falsely allege that the Fiduciary is "an

enemy of the FLDS people" who is seeking to "destroy the FLDS religion" and who should be

removed for gross incompetence and breach of fiduciary duty. As the Court is aware, the Fiduciary

and his counsel serve at the discretion of the Court and will resign immediately if the COUli

'For example, the Fiduciary has been sued for allegedly procuring the Trust's default
judgment against CPFLDS by fraud, and charged with criminal trespassing by Colorado City.

'The Fiduciary recognizes that certain of the documents he relies on for his conclusions
regarding Mr Jeffs are dated. Although there is no evidence of such, it is possible that Mr. Jeffs may
no longer be in control of the FLDS Church. Or, consistent with certain of Willie Jessop's
statements in Texas, it is possible that Warren Jeffs may no longer take the position that "there will
be no compromise" with respect to underage marriage. Based on the information available to the
Fiduciary, including Warren Jeffs' dictations and instructions to Willie Jessop, the Fiduciary doubts
whether Mr. Jeffs has any intention of renouncing underage marriage or of providing long term
housing to the beneficiary class. Nevertheless, Mr. Jeffs should be deposed and allowed to explain
his current status and position on such issues.

-Vll-
 ) ) 1 '77

determines that their service is no longer in the best interests of the Trust. The Fiduciary is not an

enemy of the FLDS Church, but is committed to his Court-ordered obligation of religious neutrality.

The fact that the Fiduciary does not discriminate in favor of the FLDS Church does not mean that

he is an enemy of the Church. As the Court is aware, the Fiduciary seeks to disburse Trust property

to the individual beneficiaries without regard for religion. He has consistently supported settlement

proposals that would result in the distribution of Trust property to FLDS faithful who are members

of the beneficiary class.

Neither of the responses to the OSC Motion provides a basis for denial of the Motion. To

conserve limited Trust resources, the Fiduciary desperately needs the Court to hold those who have

imposed massive litigation costs on him responsible for those costs and prohibit furtheruuauthorized

filings.1O Furthermore, the Fiduciary needs to move ahead with discovery, including depositions

ofthe two Former Trustees who continue to defiantly disregard any and all orders ofthis Court. This

will move the Fiduciary closer to getting Trust property to the beneficiaries. If the beneficiaries'

interests are to be served, the Fiduciary must be allowed to continue in his efforts to distribute Trust

property to beneficiaries - not the shadow elite.

IOFor example, the Former Trustees threaten to file a Motion to Strike related to certain
documents which the Fiduciary has attached to recent pleadings, which documents clearly relate to
Trust administration, and are therefore the subject ofthis Court's orders to produce. It is offensive
that the very parties who have flouted this Court's orders now complain that the Fiduciary has
obtained the documents to which he was entitled from other sources. Any such allegation is
baseless, and shines a bright light on the efforts to which Warren Jeffs wi!) go to conceal his conduct.
Intervenors know the documents the Fiduciary has attached are authentic, and that they eviscerate
the arguments made by Intervenors in proceedings involving the Trust. The Fiduciary should not
be required to respond to further attacks by Intervenors at the expense of his efforts to move ahead
with distribution of Trust property.

-Vlll-
 178

RESPONSE TO VARlOUS FACTUAL ASSERTIONS

The Intervenors' memoranda contain numerous false and misleading allegations against

the Fiduciary. While a point-by-point response to the numerous erroneous assertions (none of

which were established by affidavit) is beyond the scope of this pleading, the Fiduciary hereby

responds to some of the major themes contained in the memoranda. If the Court desires

additional response as to any matter, the Fiduciary (and others with personal knowledge of the

relevant facts) will happily provide such to the Court, under oath and subject to cross

examination.

Response to Assertion that Warren Jeffs is not the Corporation Sole

While the Stay Memo does not explicitly address the request to depose Warren Jeffs, it takes

issue with the assertion that Warren Jeffs is the CPFLDS, arguing that he has resigned, and citing

to an article from the Salt Lake Tribune (which quotes the author of the Stay Memo). With all due

respect to the Salt Lake Tribune, the Fiduciary suggests that the Utah Department of Commerce is

a better source for corporate information. Per the documents from the Department of Commerce,

which both the Fiduciary and the Arizona Attorney General attached to recent pleadings (and which

have not been changed to date), Warren Jeffs is still the President ofCPFLDS. While some may

argue it is difficult to execute corporate resignation documents from a prison cell, the Fiduciary

suggests that if Mr. Jeffs has the time and ability to write extensive letters from his jail cell,

including one containing instructions to Willie Jessop to take back the Trust, he could have found

a way to fill out a short corporate form for submission to the State, if he truly intended to resign.

Regardless of Mr. Jeffs current status, he IS a Former Trustee, and the Trust should be

allowed to depose him regarding the documents the Trust has recently obtained which show his

-IX-
 ) J

efforts to frustrate the Court's and the Fiduciary's efforts to administer the Trust11 Mr. Jeffs'

schedule is presumably open as he is currently incarcerated and awaiting criminal trial in Arizona.

Response to Assertion the Fiduciary is Incompetent

The Former Trustees next challenge the Fiduciary's competence, questioning why he still

does not have a better understanding of Trust assets. See, Stay Memo at II (stating that the

Fiduciary'S requests for discovery "call into question his competence"). Such accusations ignore the

efforts of Mr. Jeffs and the Intervenors to prevent the Fiduciary from obtaining information about

the Trust. Those effOlis include:

Warren Jeffs ordering his followers not to respond to subpoenas;

• Warren Jeffs ordering his followers to turn over Trust documents to him (which may show

his misuse of Trust assets) and help him hide documents related to Trust administration;

• Warren Jeffs threatening his followers with excommunication if they cooperated with the

Court; and

• Warren Jeffs' statement that his counsel advised him to backdate documents to prevent the

Fiduciary and other creditors from recovering property ofthe Trust.

"Intervenor's accusation that the Fiduciary is using these documents in violation of a

Protective Order is unfounded. The Fiduciary subpoenaed documents from law enforcement
officials in Colorado, Nevada and entered into protective orders regarding the use of documents
obtained from the Colorado and Nevada subpoenas. To date, those documents have never been used,
in this litigation, or any other. The Texas documents were received by the Trust's Texas counsel as
part of civil proceedings involving children removed from the YFZ Ranch. The Fiduciary
understands that such documents were subjected to an extensive privilege review in Texas prior to
receipt by Texas counsel.

-x-
 180

Consider for example, the following instructions to Sam Barlow, who was overseeing all

legal affairs of the Trust prior to the decision of Warren Steed Jeffs to default in various tort

lawsuits:

... As President of the church and Priesthood and the UEP Trust, I am making an
official call for all your records of you as a special assistant for President Rulon Jeffs
and myself, all your notebooks, I would like your two computers, your lap top and
your big one in tack (sic), all assembled and delivered over to church archives under
my direction before there is an official subpoena issued to take hold of those things .
. . .I would like this done in a manner, Uncle Sam, that you yourself do not witness
it. I request that you put in the middle of your floor in your office all boxed up with
the words: Archive - your notebooks and any printouts of personal communications
and cases, files of peoples names all boxed up .... If you will have it done at noon
I would like you to go home for lunch and leave your office door unlocked. And then
I wiIl- and you stay away for an hour or so. You will not witness what happens to
the archive materials. And as far as you are concerned, I say to you on this case that
... you and our lawyers are to answer them nothing. If you must answer a subpoena
and such, still you should testifY nothing. Ar:d even ifitends up your personal assets
be affected (sic) so be it. But I say to you that if you testify at all of Father's and I's
doings you will prove a traitor and lose Priesthood.

Record of President Warren Jeffs, September 1,2004, page 3, attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Other

statements by Mr. Jeffs suggest that others involved in administering the Trust may have engaged

in efforts to hide property from the Fiduciary or tort creditors:

The Lord has warned me that the lawyers will one day turn against us ... They
wanted LeRoy or I to sign a document that would make us a liar, dating the transfer
of Harker farms back to the previous owners, Uncle Parley's sons, dating it as of
January I of this year. The courts have decided to give a default judgment against
the corporation of the presiding Bishop and the UEP trust and the FLDS Church, all
attacking me. This sale would help the Harkers come out the debt (sic). [t would
remove any assets in the corporation of the presiding Bishop so the lawsuits could
not do anything against us, but it would make me a liar and be a trap. 12

I'[t is
not clear whether the "lawyers" referred to by Mr. Jeffs are the same lawyers who have
falsely accused the Fiduciary of fraud in obtaining a judgment against Mr. Jeffs and the FLDS
Church.

-Xl-
 ) ) 181

Record of President Warren Jeffs, March 12, 2005, page 102, attached hereto as Exhibit 3.

Intervenors' accusation that the Fiduciary is incompetent for not discovering information about Trust

assets that have been the subject of an extensive effort to obstruct justice is just one more example

of their utter disregard for the truth.

Response to Assertion the Fiduciary is Anti-FLDS and Seeks to Destroy the Community

Next, Intervenors assert that the Fiduciary is "punitive" and guided by "anti-FLDS sentiment

and the extremist goals of the disgruntled former Church Members" on the Advisory Board, going

as far as to state that the Fiduciary's philosophy is "that he must destroy the FLDS Community in

order to 'save' it." Stay Memo at 2. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Fiduciary has

gone to great lengths to receive FLDS input, including at the Advisory Board level. In May of2006,

David Zitting, the Mayor of Hildale, reported that he had met with the Fiduciary and the Fiduciary

had told him:

I would rather see more FLDS people on that board, because it represents the
community more. I would rather see the majority on the advisory board be FLDS
people. Because the majority of the people are FLDS people. Until it comes to the
point where the advisory board becomes a board of trustees. That board oftrustees
ought to be mainly FLDS people.

See, Exhibit 6 (Jerry Barlow letter) at UEPT039334. Additionally, each and every member of the

Advisory Board has gone on public record and expressed their respect for the FLDS people

(including in many cases their nuclear family) and the Short Creek community. The Fiduciary

fervently desires for the Twin Cities to be vibrant communities, with thriving businesses and homes

which beneficiaries can live in without threat of eviction or concern that tort creditors of the Trust

will foreclose on them.

-Xll-
 182

Instead, it appears to be Warren Jeffs who wants the Short Creek community and its residents

to languish and suffer," and has therefore ordered the mayors to drive out businesses" and

prohibited new homes from being built 15

The fact that the Fiduciary opposes distributing Trust property to Warren Jeffs or the FLDS

Church does not mean that he is "anti-FLDS." As previously explained, for several reasons the

Fiduciary does not believe that he is at liberty to make such a distribution pursuant to the terms of

his constitution - the Reformed Declaration of Trust. (See Special Fiduciary Bruce R. Wisan's

Consolidated Response to Settlement Proposals, dated June 30, 2009). Furthermore, given that

Warren Jeffs and the FLDS Church have been named as defendants in tort litigation and have

defaulted in such lawsuits, it would be irresponsible to convey Trust property to such entities - only

to see it lost to the tort plaintiffs. Such concerns are confirnlcd by the new evidence which has

"See, e.g., Jeffs Record, January 10,2005, Page 9, attached hereto as ExhibitlO:

And now the Priesthood people are about to be driven as a people. The Lord named
to me last night to have the Bishop in Short Creek, William E. Jessop, find a home
or homes elsewhere in the cities among the gentiles for his family and that of Uncle
Fred's in as organized a manner as we can. We are fulfilling the directive of the
Lord that the Priesthood people will be driven from Short Creek. The court is
expected to rule a default judgment to take away our lands and houses on January 12
- in two days.

"See, e.g., Exhibit 4 (directing mayors of the Twin Cities to prevent "wicked businesses of

recently become available showing that there are numerous underage victims, who could assert legal

claims against Warren Jeffs and the Church:

... The Lord is showing me the young girls of this community, those who are
pure and righteous will be taken care of at a younger age. As the government
finds out about this, it will bring such a great pressure upon us, upon the
families of these girls, upon me, and also upon the girls who are placed in
marriage .... And I will teach the young people that there is no such thing as
an underage Priesthood marriage, but that it is a protection for them if they
will look at it right and seek unto the Lord for a testimony. The Lord will
have me do this, get more young girls married, not only as a test to the
parents, but also to test this people to see if they will give the Prophet up ....

Record of President Warren Jeffs, Monday, November 24, 2003, at p.163 (attached hereto as Exhibit

12).

... The Lord will have me do more marriages of very young girls. This will
make the government rage and come against us stronger than ever.. .. There
will be many marriages again that I will go back toward Short Creek to do.

Record of President Warren Jeffs, Friday, July 22, 2004, at p.22 (attached hereto as Exhibit 13) .

... I revealed to Wendell that the Lord wanted me to receive this thirteen-
year-old bride and also for her deliverance as well as the Lord allowing this
to be a reason in the government's eyes to come stronger against this people.
I explained the principle of the Lord cutting short His work in righteousness
by me performing these works that would bring the wicked against us to
justify the Lord in destroying them, at a quicker pace. That is what cutting
short His work in righteousness means, Him doing a righteous work. The
wicked becoming angry, coming against us stronger and faster, bringing the
judgments of God upon the wicked sooner, and this people cleaned up in the
process ....

Record of President Warren Jeffs, Wednesday, November 26,2003, at p.179 (attached hereto as

Exhibit 14).

Given Warren Jeffs' pronouncement that he will not compromise with respect to performing

underage "marriages" (see footnote 4 above), and given that he has never disavowed such

-X1V-
 184

pronouncement, it is beyond doubt that any property in the hands of Warren Jeffs or the FLDS

Church would be at substantial risk of loss to the victims of Warren Jeffs' actions. Under such

circumstances, the Fiduciary believes that it would be a breach of his fiduciary duties to the

beneficiaries of the Trust to transfer Trust property to Warren Jeffs or the FLDS Church. 16 This is

not because of any anti-FLDS sentiment. It is based upon a religiously neutral obligation to preserve

and protect assets for the members of the beneficiary class.

Response to Assertion the Twin Cities are not Controlled by the FLDS Church

While the Twin Cities seek to publicly deny that they are controlled by the FLDS Church,

it is apparent from the record that Warren Jeffs-now directing from jail, but no less in charge-is the

de facto sovereign of the Twin Cities, and has used those entities to frustrate the Fiduciary's efforts

to distribute Trust property to beneficiaries

[n the their Opposition Memorandum, the Twin Cities brush aside the troubling facts

showing FLDS control - that their police chief saw nothing wrong with communicating with a

federal fugitive and was subsequently decertified in connection with that communication, that their

municipal utilities see nothing wrong with paying tithing, and that their building department refuses

to allow water hookups to non-FLDS, but has recently approved new water services for four new

triplexes built as part of an FLDS community service project (see, Stay Memo at 7 (describing recent

building project for housing elderly in the community); cf. Twin Cities Memo at 5, n.4 (describing

the "Twin Cities' policy not to connect any new service locations to the culinary water system unless

i6 Such belief is confirmed by the fact that, when Warren Jeffs was in control of the Trust,

he used his control over Trust property to punish parents who refused to allow him to place their
underage daughter into a marriage with an older man. See, United Effort Plan Trust v. Holm, 101
PJd 641 (Ariz. 2004).

-xv-
 ) ) 185

additional water is brought to the system."). Instead, the Twin Cities baldly deny that their actions

are being directed by FLDS leadership notwithstanding clear evidence to the contrary. Again, Mr.

Jeffs' own words expose the falsity of the Cities' claim:

.. .1 gave him, Richard Allred the Lord's message that he as mayor of Colorado City,
Arizona, is being warned by the Lord to not compromise with the world, not to allow
through his legal position the compromises and wicked businesses of the world to
enter in among our people. And I told Richard that he and the city counsel should
rather be dismissed than to give way and compromise with the world.

This morning I have called brother William Jessop, the Bishop ... I told the
Bishop ... to call David Zitting, who is the mayor of Hildale, Utah. And I told him
to call the other members of the city council who are part of Priesthood, and give
them the Lord's warning that they must not allow the evils and corruptions of the
world, the evil businesses among our people legally, and they would rather be
dismissed or resign than to give way and allow evil among our people. Brother
William Jessop said he would do so.

Record of President Warren Jeffs, August 8, 2005, page 424, attached as Exhibit 4."

The results of Warren Jeffs' directions are apparent in the statements of the Twin Cities'

current police chief, Jonathan Roundy, who, in a dispute over management of UEP land did not

attempt to hide his lack of respect for this Court, or his discrimination in favor of members of the

FLDS church, but told Trust beneficiaries to whom the Fiduciary had leased the land that he would

resolve the dispute in favor of the FLDS claimant who had not obtained a lease from the Fiduciary:

"We are going to honor him because he is a member ofthe church." See. Exhibit 5 at II. 649-50.18

"The Fiduciary does not suggest that Mr. Jeffs is not entitled to the opinion that "wicked
businesses" should be kept out of the Twin Cities. The question presented by these quotes, however,
is whether the Twin Cities are unconstitutionally discriminating against businesses and residents on
the basis of their religious status.

18 An audio recording of the confrontation was made, and a transcript of the recording is
attached hereto as Exhibit 5.
(continued ... )

-XVl-
 186

FLDS control of city government has also frustrated the Fiduciary's efforts to subdivide Trust

property so it can be distributed to beneficiaries. See, e.g., June 1,2006 letter from Jerry Barlow

a/kJa Jeremiah B. Allred, attached as Exhibit 6 (reporting concerns about Mayor David Zitting's

approach to subdivision requested by Trust and seeking guidance).

Warren Jeffs' control over the Twin Cities is evidenced by the actions of Hilda Ie City with

respect to the Fiduciary's proposed subdivision plats. Originally, the Cities faithfully followed Mr.

Jeffs command to "answer them nothing." Consistent with this command, Hildale City refused to

even consider the Fiduciary'S subdivision application. Instead, the City informed the Fiduciary that

it had "elected to abstain from taking any action with respect to the petition to subdivide the

property."" The City furthermore stated that it would "not defend or object to a court proceeding

or entry of a court order granting a petition to so subdivide the property." (Id.). Later, after Warren

Jeffs changed his "answerthem nothing" command, the City abruptly changed its tactics and worked

aggressively to prevent the Fiduciary from achieving approval for the subdivision through Court

Order.

The actions of Hilda Ie City in this regard are clear evidence of Warren Jeffs' control. There

is no other reasonable explanation for the City'S bizarre behavior. Why would a city government

ever "abstain" from considering a subdivision application? Why did the City refuse to get involved

until after Warren Jeffs modified his commands, and directed his followers to employ attorneys and

i8( ... continued)

19 See Exhibit 11 (Letter from Hildale City's legal counsel, dated December 21,2006).

-XVll-
 ) ) 187

become involved with litigation against the Trust? Why are the Cities now actively seeking to

frustrate the Fiduciary at every tum - repeatedly seeking to intervene in opposition to the Fiduciary?

The only explanation for the actions of the Cities is that they are acting under the control of Warren

Jeffs - rather than fulfilling their legal obligations.

Response to Assertion the Twin Cities have no control over TCWW or its Funds

The Twin Cities allege that they have no connection with or control over Twin City Water

Works ("TCWW"), including its finances, and therefore the Fiduciary's concerns about tithing

donations made by TCWW are unfounded. Further, per the Twin Cities, there is "no credible

support" for the Fiduciary's "outrageous claim" that FLDS leadership are using TCWW as a slush

fund for their personal whims.

The claims of no connection between the Twin Cities and TCWW ring hollow when one

considers that the tithing checks which the Fiduciary attached to his opening memorandum are

signed by then Colorado City Mayor Richard Allred. After Warren Jeffs had excommunicated

Richard Allred and commanded him to resign his mayoral office, his son Joseph Allred, then

Colorado City's town clerk and a TCWW trustee, sought guidance from Warren Jeffs as to the

proper use of TCWW funds:

In relations to the family expenses, the home utility bills and the cell phone bills for
the mothers have been paid by Twin City Water Works .... Twin City Water Works,
Inc. was started as a non-profit corporation in 1972 to be the community culinary
water system. It operated as a community water system until 1996 when it sold the
distribution system to the Cities, but maintained the ownership of the wells and the
water rights 20 It now sells bulk water to the towns (Hildale and Colorado City) and

rights. All information in the Fiduciary's possession ( including the agreements between TCWW

maintains the wells. The Towns operate and maintain the water system through
individual customer revenues and buy bulk water from Twin City Water Works. The
revenue to this company has been about $400,000 per year. Upon seeking counsel
from Uncle Lyle, he directed me to continue the water company record keeping
which Father was doing. In looking back over the expenses, about half of them have
been for RJA home expenses. After counseling with Uncle Lyle, I have continued
to pay some home expenses from the twin City Water Works account such as home
utilities (almost $4000 per month for the few months I have been here), mother's cell
phones (about $200-300/month), car insurance (one policy contains about half home
and half company vehicles, about $500 per month total), and a new van payment of
$900 per month. Several home vehicles are owned and were paid for by the
company. Father had told me, and Uncle Lyle had confirmed it, that Father did the
payments from company funds with Uncle Fred's approval, and he had also checked
with Uncle William. There were a lot of other purchases before which were made
by the company, especially home improvements on the old RJA home. Ifwe choose
to not pay home expenses with company funds, the company has enough income
through bulk water sales that we would need to find a way to somehow get the extra
revenue funds forwarded to the storehouse. In addition, the Storehouse would need
to help the household here at least on the Utilities portion. The company has never
been audited. Up to this time, especially with the company covering some expenses,
the family needs have been met financially, and I have bee.n able to occasionally tum
in to the storehouse a surplus from the income made by the working family members.
I am seeking counsel on whether or not to continne paying some home bills from
the company funds.

April 23, 2006 Joseph Allred letter (emphasis in original) attached as Exhibit 7.

Cell phones for family members, new car payments, and home improvements for TCWW

officers are a far cry from the approved uses ofTCWW funds, as set forth in the agreement between

TCWW and the Twin Cities,which include "extending lines and installing meters to provide service

to new customers."" Somewhere in the $400,000 in annual revenue realized by TCWW, there

leased them from the Trust. Despite repeated requests, no copy of the lease has ever been received.
As such, the Trust may be forced to initiate a quiet title action with respect to the water rights.

should be sufficient funds to provide new service to Ron and Jinjer Cooke. Instead, Warren Jeffs

is being consulted on how to direct those funds, and may have even used funds dedicated for

improvements to the water system to pay his attorneys." TCWW is contractually obligated to the

Cities to recommend and implement improvements to the water system." Instead, TCWW diverts

the funds, and the Cities blame the Fiduciary for the unimproved water system.

Response to Claims orAccommodation orRon and Jinjer Cooke

The Twin Cities claim that they have "always taken measure to reasonably accommodate

disabled individuals and in no way desire to discriminate" but that they cannot connect the Cookes

to the culinary water system because they have been "lured" to Trust property by the Fiduciary.

Cities Memo at 4. The facts show otherwise. The Cookes submitted a Petition for Benefits, and the

Fiduciary responded to their just wants and needs, never imagining that the Cookes would be left

without basic utilities. The Cookes' request for a new building permit languished for more than a

year on the false pretense of a lack of water. Later, the Colorado City Building Department changed

the building permit application form to eliminate the necessity of a signature from the property

owner and granted a building permit to another individual for the same property.

Sewer, water, telephone and electrical mainlines are all in the street at the Cooke's location.

The Fiduciary has not asked the Cities for a single accommodation other than a standard water meter.

The Fiduciary has offered to move meters from locations that are not currently in service, has

offered to meet with the water department, has offered the services of its engineer, Zachary Renstrom

to address the issues, and even set up appointments for this purpose. The appointments were

cancelled for no reason.

Response to Assertion the Fiduciary has Denied the FLDS Access to Schools

The Motion to Stay takes great liberties with respect to the facts surrounding school

buildings. Motion to Stay at 8. When the FLDS "sought access to the schools" they had already

resorted to self-help with respect to the majority of the school buildings on UEP property, and

therefore cmIDot be heard to complain that their children have no classrooms. The one exception is

the Pioneer School, which was already being considered for a community library. When the school

was not immediately handed over to the FLDS in response to a belated petition, it was apparently

omitted from the affidavit of tax exemption that Jake Barlow files annually on behalf of the Trust

(even during the Fiduciary's appointment, Mr. Barlow has undertaken this task). The Fiduciary has

no idea why Mr. Barlow would choose to omit that school and list all other school properties, unless

his actions were intended to undermine the Fiduciary. In any event, the Fiduciary did not "contact

other potentially interested parties" as a means of inventing a basis for denial of the belated Pioneer

School petition. Rather, the Fiduciary has been in regular talks with the local School District, whose

school board members had previously toured the building and expressed an interest in it.

Response to Allegations Regarding Shane Stubbs and Berry Knoll Farm

Mr. Parker accuses the Fiduciary of "allowing anti-FLDS interlopers like Shane Stubbs free

access to the Berry Knoll farm ... " Mr. Stubbs is not an interloper. He has a signed lease and has

made valiant efforts to vivifY a portion of the property now referred to as the "Berry Knoll Farm.""

At the time Mr. Stubbs planted, the irrigation pivots had not been in operation for almost five years.

Mr. Stubbs planting was done only after he and/or the Trust approached any and all persons who had

previously farmed the area or indicated that they might be interested in farming on the pivot ground.

In response, Merlin Jessop (one of the Intervenors in this case) said that he would never put another

seed in the farm's ground again. This effort to consult with and accommodate other parties cost Mr.

Stubbs the entire 2007 growing season. Mr. Stubbs has paid all lease payments due under his lease

with the Trust.

In contrast, and as an illustration of the impartiality of the Special Fiduciary, Willie Jessop

has received permission from the Fiduciary to farm in this area without paying any fee or rent.

Response to Allegations Concerning Taking orRock from Trust Land

The Stay Memo next implies that the Fiduciary has callously sought to prevent the FLDS

from building housing for the elderly. This is a gross distortion of the true facts. When the Fiduciary

24Intervenors continue to confuse the barren and uncultivated portion of the farm, which is
the subject of the pending sale, with the farm land under the irrigation pivots which is under lease
to Shane Stubbs. There are three separate and distinct components of this larger area: (I) the land
with the irrigation pivots, which was originally purchased and cultivated by John Steed and
subsequently purchased by the Trust from a Receiver in Bankruptcy; (2) the "homestead" land with
irrigation pivots on the north side of the Short Creek Waterway, which is part of the land leased to
Mr. Stubbs but is not part of the proposed sale; and (3) the eastern acres, including the actual knoll,
which have never been under cultivation of any kind and are known as the "Arid Acres." This third
area, with a portion of the first area, is the property which has been approved by the Court for sale.

-XXl1-

learned that someone was taking rock from Trust property without seeking or obtaining permission

from the Court of the Fiduciary- which was a blatant violation of this Court's Injunction - he sought

to investigate the matter by asking basic questions which any reasonable person would ask: Who was

removing the rock? What was the quantity and value of the rock they had removed thus far?" How

much more rock did they propose to remove? Were the builders able to obtain a building permit

from the City? Were vacancies being created in Trust-owned properties that the Fiduciary could use

to fill petitions for benefits? The Fiduciary never received any response to such questions. It is

incredible that those who were caught red-handed in taking property from the Trust (in clear

violation of the law and the Injunction of this Court) would now accuse the Fiduciary of impropriety

for seeking basic information regarding such unauthorized taking.

Response to Assertions Regarding the Zoo

Danielle Jessop spent thousands of her own dollars to build up the zoo, including the creation

of a non-profit organization, and preparation for a Department of Agriculture inspection. Her efforts

were met with a rash of vandalism and harassment. Discouraged, she abandoned the project. Her

letter to the Trust simply stated that she was unable to go forward-her animals had been killed, her

locks cut, and she was under constant pressure. To the extent that there is a functioning zoo there

now, it is one further example of self-help and disregard for the Fiduciary's authority.

"Such rock can have material value. The Fiduciary has on several occasions negotiated
sandstone removal and quarry agreements with other parties. On one such occasion the Trust entered
into an agreement with Fred Williams for landscaping rocks and consideration was paid for the
stone. On another occasion, Harvey Dockstader, Sr. contracted for the harvest of surface material
for omamentallandscaping. In the past such rock has been a source of profit for the Trust; Willie
Jessop has sold rock from UEP land in the Gap property. Thus, the Fiduciary was rightly concerned
about the volume and value of the rock being taken without authorization.

-XXlll-
 ) )

ARGUMENT

I. CONTEMPT SANCTIONS ARE WARRANTED.

There is no dispute that the Removed Trustees are in contempt for their disregard of this

Court's orders regarding cooperation with the Fiduciary. The Removed Trustees and the Twin Cities

contend, however, that they cannot be held in contempt (I) because they are not parties to this

litigation or the Stand Down Order; and (2) the Stand Down Order expired with the court's hearing

on the sale of the Berry Knoll Property. Neither contention merits denial of the OSC Motion.

Warren Jeffs and LeRoy Jeffs have been parties to this case since the beginning, have been

well aware of the orders entered by this Court, and have made the deliberate decision to disregard

them. The fact that they are now appearing in other capacities does not excuse their contempt. The

Twin Cities involvement in this case has also been extensive. The Twin Cities led the first attempts

to remove the Fiduciary (which this Court denied) while the Removed Trustees hid in the shadows.

The attorneys for both the Removed Trustees and the Twin Cities attorneys were involved in

requesting the Stand Down Order, and have been tenaciously involved in this case (filing rearns of

paper on behalf of these non-parties). The Stand Down Order makes explicit reference to the Twin

Cities. "Clearly, a trial court has the power to hold non-parties in contempt ifthose parties conspire

to frustl'ate a lawful order of the court." Crank v. Utah Judicial Council, 20 P.3d 307, 314 (Utah

2001) (emphasis added). The record before this Court is clear: the Removed Trustees and the Twin

Cities have conspired together to frustrate lawful orders ofthis Court. Neither the Removed Trustees

nor the Twin Cities are thus beyond the reach of this Court's contempt powers, and should be

ordered to show cause why they should not be held in contempt.

 194

Nor can it be said that facilitation of settlement was the only basis for the Stand Down Order,

such that the hearing on the proposed sale ofthe Berry Knoll property automatically tenninated the

Stand Down Order-the Stand Down Order was also motivated by the dire financial circumstances

of the Trust. More than three months after the hearing on the Berry Knoll sale, this Court entered

orders lifting the Stand Down Order only with respect to the MJ case. See, October 30, 2009 Ruling

on MJ's Motion to Lift Litigation Standdown and the Twin Cities' Motion to Intervene. That same

day, the Court set forth the major causes of the Trust's financial straits:

(1) the refusal of the FLDS community to pay the authorized occupancy fees; (2) the
refusal of the Twin Cities and other individuals to abide by this Court's Orders and/or
to cooperate with the requests of the Special Fiduciary, thereby requiring litigation;
and (3) the barrage of other litigation initiated and maintained by various individuals
or entities purporting to speak for the FLDS community.'6

The parties who, in concert with Warren Jeffs, caused the Trust's financial crisis, and have

subsequently exacerbated it by continuing to inflict litigation costs on the Fiduciary, should be held

in contempt, or at a minimum ordered to appear before the Court to show cause why they should not

be subject to contempt sanctions.

II. THE MOTION FOR STAY SHOULD BE DENIED.

The Removed Trustees seek to stay this case on the purported basis of a pending hearing in

the Utah Supreme Court. The Fiduciary suggests that the Removed Trustees are more interested in

preventing further discovery into their efforts to sabotage this Court and the Fiduciary, including the

myriad questions raised by the many dictations and letters of Warren Jeffs.

'6See, Minute Entry Regarding Revised Ruling and Order on the Motion to Approve the Sale
of the Berry Knoll Property.

2
 ) )

While the Motion for Stay is silent as to the authority under which the request for stay is

made, based on the reference to upcoming Supreme Court hearings, the Fiduciary presumes

Intervenors are moving under UTAH R. Cry. P. 62(d) and UTAH R. App. P. 8 which govem requests

for stay pending appeal. Both rules make clear the decision is discretionary. The Fiduciary notes

that despite repeated requests to the Utah Supreme Court to stay this action, all such requests have

been denied. A stay is not warranted here, and would create a power vacuum on Trust lands, placing

Trust beneficiaries who have relied on the Fiduciary and his authority in danger of retribution, and

leaving the Trust susceptible to further pillaging by the Removed Trustees. Should the Court be

inclined to grant a stay, it should condition the stay on the posting of a substantial supersedeas bond.

See, UTAH R. CIv. P. 62(d) and UTAH R. App. P. 8(b). The Fiduciary suggests that the bond should

be no less than $5,000,000. The Trust has previously obtained an almost $9,000,000 judgment

against CPFLDS and the former Trustees for their efforts to strip the Trust of assets, whichjudgment

has been only partially satisfied.

III. DISCOVERY IS IMPER>\TIVE.

In light of the extremely troublesome conduct revealed by the dictations and letters of Warren

Jeffs, it is imperative that the Fiduciary be allowed to conduct discovery to determine what additional

light the Former Trustees and the Trust documents they sequestered even before the Fiduciary's

appointment can shed on the full extent of Trust assets and the best course for the future of the Trust.

It may well be that the Fiduciary is completely wrong about Mr. Jeffs and his intentions with

respect to the Trust. Perhaps Mr. Jeffs has renounced his views that there will be no compromise

on the question of underage marriage. Perhaps Mr. Jeffs is not even leading the FLDS resistance to
 196

the Fiduciary and the Court. The deposition ofMr. Jeffs should provide valuable insight to both the

Fiduciary and the Court on the future of the administration of the Trust.

Before the Fiduciary can move ahead with his plans to distribute Trust property to the

beneficiaries, several questions must be answered. Who is behind the litigation war against the

Fiduciary? What are that person's motives and interests? Who are the proper recipients of Trust

property? What is so offensive about the Fiduciary's proposal that Trust property go directly to the

beneficiaries who may then conveyor deed it to other parties of their choosing? Based on the

records available to the Fiduciary, it appears that Warren Jeffs is in the best position to answer these

questions, and should be deposed. The Fiduciary respectfully requests that he be allowed to proceed

with the discovery outlined in his OSC Memo and that the Court prohibit any further unauthorized

filings by Intervenors before Warren Jeffs and Willie Jessop mire the Trust even deeper in debt with

their litigation blitzkrieg.

CONCLUSION

Wherefore, the Fiduciary respectfully requests that this Court grant his OSC Motion and

deny the Motion to Stay.

The Lord has brought a judgment upon the

6 J: Willy?

7 J: Not Willy, Wally.

8 JR: He's saying something like you said he could plant those fields-is that...?

9 J: No, here is what I said to Wally. We'll back up on click. See that little field right there on Central
10 Street, right on Midway. David Stubbs has that field. One fourth of this property actually belongs to this
11 field by property ownership. This field had been fallow for at least five years. Nothing had happened in
12 there.

13 JR: What are you saying?

14 J: I am saying that right there, from there to the middle to the down, is actually part of this field except
15 that the fences were built around the outside of that.

16 JR: What does that have to do with this down here?

17 J: I am going to tell you in a minute, but the outside-this L -shaped piece is UEP, and this piece is part of
18 David Stubbs field, but they have never indented that fence because the property makes a staircase
19 down through there. I could show you property lines.

20 JR: So there is so many acres there that is David's. Is that what you are saying?

21 J: Yes, but there is 5.11 acres of UEP property there, and Shawn came and said if I put a riser on the
22 corner of this and I pull water from my dad's field, he told me that I could plant winter wheat, and I said,
23 "Sure, go do it." And we signed a lease with him, an agricultural lease with crop sharing. He was going
24 to give UEP 10% of the yield and $100 a year forthe use of the land. He went down and started fixing
25 the fences. And the next day, the big John Deere tractor that has been plowing all the fields, this one,
26 and this one, and this one, and this one, went over and did that one. And he said he went down to drill
27 his wheat in and somebody had already beat him to it overnight. He had already had a lease, and he
28 said, "What should I do?" And I said, "I don't know. We'll either thank them for their work, and you go
29 ahead and water it, and we'll see what kind of a yield we can get, or we'll back off, or we'll do something
30 different." He said, "Well, there's these three little fields down here that nobody's doing anything with.
31 He said, "What if I put wheat into these three little puddles, this one and this one and this one." So I
32 talked to Bruce about it and he said, "I'm not sure what we can do with that, because whoever

3S JR: Yeah.

36 J: And so Bruce said, "Well, just go down here and do those, and we'll either substitute your lease or
37 write a separate lease." So Shawn said I bought the wheat already, and I don't know what to do. I said,
38 "Well, just take your seed and go get busy." And he said, "Well, I've got the tractor today. Dad's been
39 using it out on the farm somewhere, and I need to do it today." So when I talked to Bruce ...

40 JR: When did you talk to Bruce?

41 J: I talked to Bruce yesterday, the day before, twice ...

42 JR: About this specific thing? About planting on those three spots down there?

43 J: Yes. And so what Bruce told me was, "Tell Shawn to go down there and get his seed in the ground,"
44 and, "You," he told me, "get the ag lease done." And so I've done several of these already. We have a
45 template. For example, I'll show you this one right here. Legrand Hammon wanted to use a piece of
46 land down there. So I wrote this ag lease and we identified a piece of property that he could use. This is
47 down there by ...

48 JR: By the old dairy?

49 J: By the old dairy. The Hammons were concerned about their garden. So I said, "Exclude their garden."
50 And I said, "Are they gardening this?" And he said, "I think so." So we excluded that. I said, "What
51 about their horses?" He said, "They're not mine." So we excluded that. He said, "There's a spigot right
52 here that has water and I need water for my animals." And I said, "Well, you guys can share water."
53 And he said, "What if they won't let me." And I said, "WelL ..

54 JR: Who's he talking about? The family?

SS J: No. He's talking about whoever's got the horses in the little pen right here and in a couple of pens
56 right here. And I told him, "Well, whatever this property right here is, I would rather not disturb. It's
57 where the old dairy sits. We'll go with Bruce's concept of status quo. But if they won't share the water,
58 we'll re·write your lease to include this, and then you can share the water with them. It will be from
59 you're your lease instead of theirs because there is no occupancy agreement and no lease in place on
60 this piece. This is a residence: This is a residence. Hammons are using this property but they have only
61 got the occupancy agreement on the homes.

62 JR: Right.

63 J: OK.

64 JR: Who ...!s there an occupancy agreement on these fields?

6S J: Well, we're not doing an occupancy agreement because it is not occupied. What we are doing is this
66 template of an agricultural lease. We've got several of these. We gave Isaac one for some fields out
67 there. We gave Legrand one. We gave Shawn One on this field right there. He has a lease on that piece
 210

68 of ground even though someone went over there and drilled it in. The thing I said to Wally a few
69 minutes ago, "It's amazing to me that for as many years as I have been tuned in on this, nothing
70 happens. And now what he wants to do is put in some winter wheat, and you show up. I said, "I would
71 rather have been working with you." That's what I told him, "I would rather have been working with
72 you."

73 JR: Well, that's what he told me right there. He said, "I would rather plant the wheat..."

74 J: And I would rather work with him, but the problem is that Shawn bought some wheat and got pushed
75 off this piece, so we said go plant those, and, there is another issue. There is a great shortage of water.
76 When Shane got a lease on this piece, and turned this pivot on, this was being watered by reservoir
77 water. As soon as we saw water coming out of the end of his circular, apparently, Scott Jessop went
78 right over here by this corner and put in a new valve and turned him off. So he gets no water. So I said
79 to Shawn, "With the shortage of water, and not having solved the water issues, I would rather not go up
80 here and give a lease to somebody that is going to tap the same water that seems to be already
81 overcommitted. And he said, "Well, right there at the bridge crossing is the 10 inch line that comes out
82 of Water Canyon, and 27% of that water is 5tubb's share, and the difference, 73% ...

83 JR: You're saying that big line is not culinary?

84 J: No it isn't. That 10 inch line that comes out of Water Canyon does not cross culinary water anywhere.

85 JR: There's that line that goes with the cement, with the bridge.

86 J: Right. That's right. And that is not a culinary line. That is irrigation water, and it comes all the way
87 from Water Canyon, goes right down this street in front of our yard, and it goes down and hits the
88 community garden where Uncle Joe does his, and this orchard and hitting these, coming right down.
89 The community garden and the big field to my knowledge is being done with that line, and it crosses
90 here. What Shawn said is that Uncle David Stubbs told him that he could use the connection to that 10
91 inch line that comes right across the bridge there to put in some hand lines.

92 JR: Who has the authority over the 10 inch line?

93 J: David Stubbs owns 27% of the water in that line and UEP owns the rest.

94 JR: I think that would be disputed on David Stubbs being able to give him permission without other
95 interested parties on that, as far as getting water, I don't think ...

96 J: Well, David waters this field and this field right now from that same system. It's a joint system. The
97 rights are actually a surface water right with a point of diversion. And the point of diversion is the
98 reservoir at Water Canyon. And when the water goes into the line ...

99 JR: The issues are going to be-you might have the right, but who put the line in? Who built the line and
100 paid for the line? If David didn't do that, I don't think he can just go tap right into it. There is going to be
101 some big issues there.
 ) ) 211

102 J: Well, there isn't any ownership of the line that is distinct from the real estate because it is UEP
103 property and it's UEP water right.

104 JR: It was my understanding that Southwest Irrigation owns those-the reservoir and the irrigation lines.

105 J: Well, that is not exactly how it works, but at some point here we can have a discussion about exactly
106 how water rights work. But aside from that, what I was trying to do was not make the issue. We don't
107 have to solve all the global issues of water rights and water usage. What I was telling Shawn was that if
108 anybody goes in here that is in competition for water with what Terrel is trying to do up here on these
109 big fields, for example, if the UEP came in here and said, "You, for example, Jonathan, UEP will give you
110 the right to go plant this field." And you'd say, "Where would I get water?" And I would say, "Well, UEP
111 has water. You can have some of that." I couldn't say that without taking some of the water that is
112 being already applied to some of these fields and gardens. Does that make sense?

113 JR: Well, I don't know. I don't know that UEP owns water.

114 J: UEP owns water. There is absolutely no doubt about that.

115 JR: So they are watering these right here with just regular water?

116 J: No, with UEP water.

117 JR: With irrigation or culinary?

118 J: With UEP irrigation water. No one could buy culinary water, enough culinary water to ...

119 JR: It would be too expensive.

120 J: It would be way too expensive to run a garden.

121 JR: So, now you're saying, rather from taking from this, in reality, taking from that is taking from this.

122 J: No it isn't because that is Stubbs water. 'As long as the Stubbs don't take more than their share of the
123 water, the Stubbs can irrigate whatever they need to or want to.

124 JR: On that, there'd be a dispute on that, how to figure out 27% for sure.

125 J: Well, that is another issue, but while we are on that topic, I'li tell you what I have done. I have asked
126 everybody I have ever metfor a map of the irrigation system and a list of who has authority to draw
127 from that irrigation system. And so far I get a blank stare. Nobody seems to understand because we've
128 asked, "What does it take to hook onto the irrigation system." And the answer is: ( I'll tell you because
129 you'll get into this anyway-it'll become a legal issue.) The answer is: if it's surface water, diverted in
130 Utah right here with the Water Canyon water rights, those water shares belong, in Utah, the water
131 shares belong to a person-it's either Stubbs or UEP. They can take that water, and they can apply that
132 water wherever they want.

133 JR: Well, what's with this Southwest Irrigation?

 212

134 J: Southside Irrigation Association. In Arizona the law is completely different In Arizona, a surface
135 water right belongs ...

136 JR: So are you saying that Southside Irrigation-are you using cross termination. Are you saying that
137 UEP and Southside is the same thing?

138 J: No. I am not I am leading up to telling you where Southside sets. In Utah, a water right belongs
139 to ... you get your point of diversion and your water right, and it is a certain number of gallons, and it's a
140 flow, and it flows into a line and it's yours. You can run that down; you can feed it to your livestock; you
141 can water your garden; you can drink it; you can sprinkle it; or you can let it flow on. OK? In Utah. In --

142 Arizona, it is completely different. Arizona water is an open unrestricted state. You can file for surface
143 water rights if you can prove that they are available, and you can drill for water for a permit. And all you
144 have to do with DWR is file for a permit, tell them what you are going to do, do it, and tell them what
145 you did. There is no buying and selling of water rights in Arizona like there is in Utah. In Arizona, a water
146 right, by law, belongs to a piece of ground. Whoever owns the ground, whoever owns that piece of real
147 property, is the one that owns the water. And they cannot be severed. You cannot sell water one way
148 and land the other way, in Arizona.

149 JR: Well, and this is the issue that is coming up right now. This land was owned in communal, and stili
150 supposedly is. There is no land owner per se.

151 J: Except the United Effort Plan.

152 JR: Well, there is an overseer of the property.

153 J: Well, no there is an owner.

154 JR: But there is no title ...

155 J: Yeah, there is. Yeah, there is. You walk into the County ...

156 JR: You have a court appOinted fiduciary to oversee the land.

157 J: No., No.

158 JR: It doesn't say they own the land.

-159 J: No., That's true. The overseer doesn't own the land.

160 JR: The people who own the land are those in the trust

161 J: Here is the way it works: you go into the county recorder. And I was just barely doing it, right here. If
162 you go into the county recorder, and you click on a parcel of ground-that one right there-you can pick
163 from the county recorder who the owner of that land is. There is an owner··every square inch of the
164 state of Arizona is owned.

165 JR: Right It will say UEP.

 ) )

166 J: OK, and if it says UEP Trust, UEP Trust isthe owner. And it will say, "Under the care of... "

167 JR: Okay, but it is really owned by all interested parties.

168 J: It is owned by the Trust. And for many, many years it said, "UEP Trust in the care of Fred Jessop." And
169 now it says, "UEP Trust in the care of Bruce Wisan."

170 JR: Well, and the difference is that it is court appointed so he has to go through the court, whereas
171 Uncle Fred did not.

172 J: He did go. Uncle Fred did go through the court.

173 JR: Well, if it came to a legal issue.

174 J: No. Uncle Fred had to be legally appointed as a trustee of the United Effort Plan before his name could
175 be put on trust property.

176 JR: I agree with· that. But when we are coming to who owns the property-somebody has a right to
177 manage the property-but the people own the property.

178 J: The right to manage the property is by and through the Trust. That's how Uncle Fred had his right.

179 JR: That's right.

180 J: Because Uncle Fred, all by himself...

181 JR: I just wanted to differentiate that this is court appointed.

182 J: Ok.

183 JR: And there is a difference between the way it used to be and the way it is now.

184 J: Yeah. And the point would be, that if Bruce Wisan, if the court, went ahead and appointed trustees
185 and retired the temporary fiduciary, the trustees then would manage the property, and if one of them
186 got run over by a bus, and a new one was appointed, it would continue to flow. And it will always say,
187 UEP managed by ... and some name would be filled in.

188 JR: But the trust is not the same. Because if the court gives it to the Trust, then the Trust could manage
189 it like it used to manage it. Now it is still court appointed, and what we are seeking for, is court paper
190 work for anything that is done because it is managed under the court. So, on this particular thing, where
191 we have this family who has already previously worked this property, flattened those fields, built it, and
192 they have an interest, and they are expressing a desire to continue, I think for the sake of peace, ifthey
193 are willing to plant that, we should let them ...

194 J: Well, Bruce's frustration, and by extension, mine, is that for three years, we've been content with the
195 status quo, allowing things to just be what they are. And during that time, repeatedly ...
 214

196 JR: That's because the status quo for me is that I was here; the status quo for you is that you were here;
197 the status quo for them is that they were there and they put money and time into that.

198 J: But his point is, and I helped him to do this ...

199 JR: Why was there no communication with these people who developed these fields before we went to
200 planting?

201 J: There was. And the record will show ...

202 JR: Who did we communicate with 7

203 J: We communicated in every way we knew how-through public notices, direct notices, mail-

204 JR: On planting this field?

205 J: --notices to every single resident.

206 JR: I was talking about this.

207 J: I know, and I'm saying, what the Trust has done on a global scale, we have said, "If you have an
208 interest in any piece of UEP property, whether it is a project, whether it is a space, whether it is an
209 unfinished building, or a vacant lot-the Trust needs to know that, the Trustee needs to know that, the
210 fiduciary want to know. And we have no response. And I told Wally this morning, "Somebody must
211 really like weeds." Because that is what we've been getting from these fields for a long time is nothing
212 but weeds. And to have them suddenly express and interest and say, "We'll do that" at this point in
213 time, seems a little disingenuous, because if they wanted to do wheat, if they had any inclination or
214 intention to do wheat, it would've been done already, should've been done already. We're behind the
215 season, and I have delayed Shawn ...

216 JR; Well, and this right here, this particular situation here, you say you've done a general outlay of "If
217 anybody's interested, if anybody's interested," but you, with your foreknowledge, knew built these
218 fields.

219 J: I do not have a phone number for Merril Jessop.

220 JR: I don't either.

221 J: And if Merril Jessop called me right now, we'd definitely go back and tell Bruce, "You need to
222 rethink ... you know, Merril Jessop's on the scene." But I don't see where Wally has an interest, or Fred.

223 JR: Well, Wally told me personally that he's the one that did the work, flattened the field.

224 J: Well, Uncle Merril sent him out to do it. He's the one that drove the tractor?

225 JR: So, who has the occupancy to the Merril home there-Uncle Merril's home?

226 J: I believe Nate.

 ) ) 215

227 JR: Nate does. And does that include ...

228 J: It is like this. This is the way I drew it. When we came along here to draw these lot lines, I went clear
229 back to the burm right here-this is where their tire wall is-I went clear back to here, and followed this
230 burm to leave this trail right here open to the public and then I went generously north right here around
231 the backside right here to create-and this garden right here, if you want to go look at it, did not grow
232 anything this year ...

233 JR: Where they previously had a garden?

234 J: Yeah, they had a garden there, but this year, and forthe last several years, there has been nothing
235 there. But even at that, I told Shawn to stay out of these folks garden because eventually there will be a
236 garden. When you come over to the other side of the wash, right here, I told him the same thing. I said,
237 and we drew lines right here and tried to follow this, and he asked me specifically about this little
238 orchard-see there is a fence right here off of what used to be Freddie's house-I don't know who is in
239 there right now. You probably do. But whoever is in there had built this fence and had abandoned this
240 piece down here, and Shawn said, "What about this?" And I said, "Shawn ... "

241 JR: It'd be ... with trees in the way, you really couldn't do anything.

242 J: No. He wants to go water the trees. He want to go prune those fruit trees and water them because
243 the whole thing is dying. It's a weed patch. He just said, "What about the fruit trees. Can I do that?"
244 And I said, "Shawn, I'll bet you money that as soon as you go put this into winter wheat there is going to
245 be a crew down there pruning those trees and reclaiming that spot, and if it does not happen by the
246 time you have put your winter wheat is in, and you still haven't seen an indication of interest in this
247 space right here, we'll probably go ahead and have you do it."

248 JR: Well, that's what we're at as a police department, that if this is a status quo, and there are people
249 that have an interest in it, and there are people who have invested money in it, and this thing isn't
250 signed yet, this lease agreement to manage this, it would probably be advantageous to us as a police
251 department to let these people express their desires and to wait for this to be finalized.

252 J: The problem is that time is of the essence. The problem is that Shawn already went and signed a
253 lease, and bought his seed, and then got preempted up there on the other spot. So Shawn is kind of in a
254 tough spot. He had a signed lease, and he bought his seed, and he got preempted, and we haven't even
255 determined what to do.

256 JR: And if there is another. ..

257 J: But I am telling you that when Shawn went over and started fixing those fences on Midway, then
258 suddenly the tractor showed up. I made a phone call, and I called the dairy. Terrel was unavailable, but
259 I left messages for him to call. Then I called back, and I talked to Barbara. I said, "I need to talk to Terrel
260 about this little 5 acre piece up on Midway because we have a signed lease with Shawn." I never got a
261 call back, but Shawn came to me a few days later, and said, "They've gone in and drilled winter wheat
262 into it-It's planted," is what he said. I said, "Planted in what?" He said, "I don't know." And I said,
 216

263 "Well, go dig up a handful and see what's planted." He called me back and said it was winter wheat. I
264 said, "I don't know what to tell you, and I don't know what to do. Basically, you lease has been signed
265 for awhile and you didn't move fast enough." But why should we put Shawn in a position where he has
266 a signed lease, and then we allow somebody else to go in an preempt him with no communication, not a
267 phone call, not a lease, not an understanding, nothing.

268 JR: Well, it comes back to who was on the property?

269 J: No one was on the property.

270 JR: Well, who invested in it; who has an interest in it.

271 J: Well, everybody invested in it; everybody has an interest in it.

272 JR: Well, that was a personal. .. some of my stuff was a personal investment; some of yours is a personal
273 investment. On these fields, I mean I lived here. That was just the creek. There was a lot of money and
274 time in flattening that, putting the system in. Somebody has a great interest in that particular property
275 right there. They have put a lot of time into it.

276 J: The same is going to be true of each and every piece of property. And what we've done is clearly
277 asked for anybody that has a reason or an interest in a property to make a contact, and I don't think the
278 fiduciary would take any amount of time to think about it. He would say, "Sure, let's get on with it.
279 What do we need to do?" We've signed occupancy agreements; we've signed leases. And yet it seems
280 to me, for example, I've seen activity around the little office in the middle of town that used to be Sam
281 Barlow's office, I've seen activity around Uncle Alma's shop-somebody's moving in there, to have
282 somebody just go in there and preemptively take it, in the face of the fiduciary, when they could easily
283 call the fiduciary and say, "What do I need to do" to sign a lease or an occupancy agreement, you know,
284 legitimately, to me, I think it is out of order. It is out of order because he has offered this lease, and he
285 has offered the occupancy agreement openly to everybody.

286 JR: Right.

287 J: And if they don't sign it, and they don't take that opportunity, then somebody else will, and when they
288 do like Shawn has, I think somebody's chance, their opportunity to go do that is past. In fairness to
289 Shawn, he has already bought the seed. So what do you want him to do?

290 JR: He's really not out any money. If this grows, and the UEP lets him have the produce of that right
291 there, he's really not out any money because it's been planted.

292 J: Exactly. But is that the thing what we want to do? See, I'm not sure. I'm not sure that we should go
293 back to the lease that he signed and let him preempt the dairy if Terrel has gone and done that. The
294 thing that I told Shawn was ...

295 JR: Does Bruce need to sign this?

296 J: Yes.
 ) ) 217

297 JR: Has Bruce signed this?

298 J: Bruce has signed the one on Midway; he has signed this one for Legrand. He has not signed the one
299 on this field right here.

300 JR: Could I get a copy of this?

301 J: But what Bruce told me was, he said, "Tell Shawn to get his seed in the ground because this is his
302 window of time for seeding," and he said, "You go ahead and print this out." So this is what I was doing
303 today, is preparing the maps and the attachments forthe lease to go ahead and send to Bruce, and
304 Bruce would countersign it and send it back. Now what I told Shawn, "None of the personal property,
305 the iron, the old refrigerators, none of that, it's not your responsibility and it's not your property."

306 JR: Well, and I understood that some of that was removed, and Fred went down there and said, "This is
307 our stuff."

308 J: None of it was removed. I just told him, I said, "What you need to do is take all the old refrigerators
309 and put them together in one place. And they'll either scrap them out themselves, or at some point in
310 time it will become a cleanup project that will become your responsibility, and we'll have to call a
311 scrapper or somebody and have them come and take that." But what I told Shawn is, "You stay right
312 here in the planting bed of each ofthose places rightthere, and as far as the orchard, we are going to
313 wait, and as far as this area right through here where all this iron and storage and junk and corruption is
314 concerned, it is just like a hundred other places in town, we are going to post it as though it were
315 valuable personal property, even though it's junk, we are going to post it, and we are going to say,
316 "Whoever has an interest in this, has whateverthe law gives them ... "

317 JR: So it hasn't been posted yet. Was this property posted for anyone to look at?

318 J: No. No, we didn't post the property; we're posting the personal property because the real estate
319 already belongs to the Trust. But the ...

320 JR: The right to manage it belongs to the Trust.

321 J: No. The actual real estate belongs to the Trust. It always has. We litigated that for 10 years with Rod
322 Parker.

323 JR: Oh, yeah. It belongs to the Trust.

324 J: Ok. All right.

325 JR: I just have a hang up with the ownership of the property because there are too many people
326 involved.

327 J: You can't separate that. But here is the issue. The real property belongs absolutely to the Trust. We
328 litigated that in the federal court for 15 years-the right of the Trust to manage its property. Now the
 218

329 management of the Trust is a different issue. But the management of the property is the right of the
330 Trust.

331 JR: The Trust just comes under legal law.

332 J: Yeah, absolutely. And the land comes under legal law. In fact, there is a whole chapter in law called
333 parole evidence that says that any agreement that pertains to real property or any agreement that
334 sustains itself for more than a year, by law, must be in writing. So the written portion of whatever is on
335 paper in ink is the rule of law as to those things. The ownership of the property is absolute. The
336 management of the Trust is a matter of rulings.

337 JR: And the written history itself.

338 J: Yeah, and the written history.

339 JR: Well, and this is where this comes into play where this was previously given to individuals ...

340 J: Not in writing.

341 JR: ... a by Fred.

342 J: Unfortunately, terribly unfortunately, Uncle Fred is not here. And so we have to fall back to the right
343 of the property management to manage. Bruce Wisan has really bent over himself to try to establish, to
344 pre-establish any previously established interest in the property. But don't you agree with me though,
345 that that property has grown nothing but weeds for four years ... five years ...

346 JR: Well, that's true, but that doesn't take away somebody's interest.

347 J: Their interest is in the tumbleweeds? It seems like their interest is not in the property, it is in
348 preventing somebody from using the property.

349 JR: I believe their interest is in the property.

350 J: Why, all of a sudden?

351 JR: I don't know. My interest is in my property because I live there.

352 J: Have you signed an occupancy agreement? It would be a great idea if you haven't.

353 JR: Yeah. But if I had a field, then I would be interested in that if I hadn't used it for ten years. You can't
354 say I don't have an interest when I have invested in it.

355 J: I can tell you what I did. I have right up here, in addition to my yard, I have a garden up here. I signed
356 an occupancy agreement for that. If they had done the same thing, if he had signed an occupancy
357 agreement, and or indicated that these acres ... or even if he had planted anything, I don't think we'd be
358 having this discussion. I think we'd probably leave it alone.

359 JR: I don't think we can ignore those who have a vested interest, is where I'm at.
 ) )

360 J: I wouldn't want to.

361 JR: Even if they haven't planted it.

362 J: See this field right here. This field right here is the same story. This is where the Jesoco building is,
363 the Tonto Supply building here down on airport road. This field right here is the same thing-it has had
364 no activity for a long time. We signed a lease with Isaac Wyler. Isaac wanted to go plow in some
365 summer rye, and he tried to down here-a little bit. But this piece right here has the same issue, and
366 that is that somebody recently had gone in there without any communication and drilled it in. And
367 although I am glad to see it happen, I think it should have been done with communication. r--

368 JR: A... could you get Bruce on the phone for me.

369 Sure, let's try .

371 1:00 PM

372 Bruce: [hereafter B )Yes sir.

373 Jethro [J): Bruce you are on speaker phone with me and officer Jonathan Roundy.

374 Jonathan [JR): This is Marshall Roundy. How are you? I am kind of caught up in a keep-the-peace, and I
375 am here with Jethro kind of going through a little history on it.

376 B: you're breaking up

377 Jet: it will break up a little on speaker phone.

378 JR: Jethro has been telling me some of the history on Shawn Stubbs? Is thai right? Is it Shawn?

379 B: Shane?

380 J: It's Shawn.

381 B: Oh, is it Shawn. OK

382 JR: He is going down in some areas down in the creek, in some areas that have been cleared out in
383 previous years. Are you familiar with that?

384 B: I don't have a mental picture. Jethro, does this have to do with the recent planting?

385 J: Well, yes, the recent planting was on Midway, and then we re-directed Shawn after our conversation
386 yesterday to the fields down in the creek bottom by Merril Jessop's house.

387 B: OK, OK.

 220

388 JR: So what it is that Merril Jessop and his family built those fields and flattened them out; it was just a
389 creek before. We have Wally Jessop and Fred Jessop down there expressing that they are the ones that
390 put the time and money into building those fields and they would invest the time and money into
391 planting those fields with winter wheat but they didn't want Shawn to plant it. So that is what I am
392 dealing with right now. Wally said he is the one who flattened out the fields so they have an interest in
393 those. So [ came up to talk to Jethro about it. I understand that Shawn was given permission to plant in
394 the Midway fields and somebody came in a planted those for him.

395 B: Somebody came in and usurped-[ had a lease with him-and then somebody came in and usurped
396 that. These fields have been unused and unplanted for a long period of time. It's interesting that as
397 soon as somebody expresses an interest then all kinds of people jump out and want to do something.
398 But until somebody else expresses an interest then nothing happens. I am a little perplexed that nobody
399 has contacted me to lease the property or to farm the property. Nobody has been using it. It is a shame
400 to let it go to waste. So [ have given Shawn a lease, it's a [ull at this point, I have to admit I don't have a
401 written lease, but he had a [ease and has gone out and purchased seed, and like [ said on this other
402 property, [ guess you are calling it Mid[and or whatever ...

403 JR: Midway

404 B: He went out and started fixing up the fences and doing something there, that hasn't been used for
405 two or three years, and the next day somebody is out there planting after they see him out there. [t is
406 kind of a frustrating situation that certainly the Jessops have done the work to get the field there, but
407 they haven't contacted the Trust about using it or utilizing it, but Shawn has. He has purchased the seed
408 and so on and so forth, so [ don't see at this point in time that Fred Jessop or Merril Junior or whoever it
409 is are ever going to be using it or have contacted me or anything. Am [ right, Jethro, in saying that it
410 hasn't been farmed for two or three years.

411 J: Yes, that's true.

412 B: [ think at this time let Shawn go ahead and farm that with the winter wheat in there. He got the seed
413 and he's all ready to go. [fthere is an issue after this crop, then let's deal with it. [mean, ifits
414 something that's been abandoned for two or three years, I'd just as soon see something productive
415 happenning. [f Shawn's going to do it, we ought to let him do it.

416 JR: OK. My question is, are we going to disregard the investment ofthe people who invested in thatto
417 even make it a field-you understand that it was just a creek bottom-and now they are saying we have
418 interest in that which is time and money to make those fields, and they are wanting to plant those fields.
419 So should we just disregard that interest.

420 B: We are not going to disregard that interest, but [think for the time being, for this crop, let's let Shawn
421 do it. Again, it hasn't been used for two or three years. Why now the heightened interest after two or
422 three years? We are not selling it off. [t is not a long term [ease. [t is a crop [ease here to put winter
423 wheat in. We are talking about a relatively temporary matter of months issue, and it can be resolved
424 after that time.
 ) ) 221

425 J: Our lease can be cancelled as long as he doesn't have a standing crop.

426 JR: OK, I believe the interest is in somebody-they had invested time and money in it-and the interest
427 is that if somebody else uses the property than their interest would be denied. And so I think that is the
428 concern.

429 B: Their interest is not going to be denied. They just haven't used it for two or three years and we have
430 somebody that is up and ready to use it right this minute, and let's have him do it. I don't think these
431 others were hot to trot. There hasn't been any preparation and nothing being done, and now is the
432 time to do it. I think there just sort of if-I'm-not-going-to-use-it-I-don't-want-anybody-else-t0 type of
433 attitude. It's not, officer, you can assure them that this doesn't have any permanent impact. I don't
434 know what interest Shawn has in the property other than just finding a place to farm. We are not
435 considering permanently leasing or selling or doing anything like that with Shawn. It's just a temporary
436 situation. Their interest, if any, will be preserved. And again, it's Trust property and it's just wants and
437 needs and all this other stuff, and so the fact that somebody has put money into a property or
438 contributed to the Trust does not give them any individual rights or ownership. It is certainly a
439 consideration to the Trust. Ultimately, I'd like to dispose of the Trust and distribute property to the
440 beneficiaries. FLDS has not been interested in the past in discussing that, but if that were to change,
441 certainly, equity is a factor in any distribution of property. I don't know that Shawn is even a Trust
442 beneficiary. He may be. Jethro, do you know if he is?

443 JR: I don't know if he is.

444 J: Well, I think he's a participant in the sense like the other children who helped their dads.

445 JR: He hasn't lived here for a lot of years.

446 J: In a way though, that is where Wally and some of these kids set too. Yeah, they helped build this, but
447 I think Merril Jessop was the mover and shaker who started creating this little alfalfa patch in the
448 bottom of the creek bed.

449 JR: Right, that was probably ....

450 B: I like somebody to use it, and Shawn has expressed a desire ... [broken up] any future situational
451 respectables that created it, it is Trust property. [broken up] utilize it, and I don't see where it is an
452 issue or problem.

453 JR: Are these people who want an interest, are they able to contact you, and possibly, if they are willing
454 to do that, can Shawn plant elsewhere?

455 B: I'm not much of a farmer. I don't know what other areas are possible or appropriate. If there is
456 another place, then that is something that we would certainly consider. One of the attractions here is
457 that they can get the Stubbs water on this property, and there are other places where Stubbs water may
458 not be available, so that would have to be a consideration. And again, I hate the aspect of "Well, I
459 haven't used it for several years, but then all of a sudden somebody has expressed an interest, now all
 222

460 of a sudden I want an interest" This doesn't have anything to do with ownership, this is just use. And it
461 is a temporary use. I would say that all things being equal, if there were another place that Shawn could
462 plant and get Stubbs water to that location, then I think that would be a wonderful solution if in fact
463 these other people are going to use it instead of let I lie fallow for two or three years. But if there is not
464 another place, I'd just as soon let Shawn do what he is doing, and then at the end of the growing season
465 we can talk to the interested parties about it I am happy to see people interested in doing some
466 farming and getting some greenery going, so I would like to encourage that. I'll do whatever I can to
467 help the parties out.

468 JR: Isn't there only a well on that?

469 B: I'll throw you and Shawn onto that and see ifthere is another place. Ifthere is, let's talk about it. If
470 there is not, let's just let Shawn for the time being go ahead and utilize this property.

471 JR: 00 you want the other three interest parties to contact you?

472 B: Sure. Jethro can give them my contact information.

473 JR: OK

474 B: I appreciate the call.

475 J: I suspect if we can't come with an alternative available to Shawn, like you're saying, let's give him this
476 growing season and move ahead in the interest of time, and let the boys realize that their process-they
477 can petition for this, and the Trust can give Shawn a notice that he is on a short term lease, and look for
478 something else. But I don't know what else there would be; that's why we are here. We've stretched
479 our mind through the other locations that would be feasible.

480 JR: I believe ... lsn't there a well drilled on that. Isn't that in Arizona? There was a circle on that property,
481 so where were they getting there water? Do you know?

482 J: I don't know for sure if there is a well on that property or not

483 JR: I think that Merril drilled a well on that property. I believe so, so that would be a great interest that
484 he would have. Whether there is a contact from those interested parties-they came to me as an
485 interested party, so if I can just pass them on, we can just let them contact you.

486 B: I think that would work. And Jethro's comment about the temporary growing season is appropriate.
487 There's not another location; Shawn is ready willing and there; I've agreed to lease it to him, so be it. If
488 the other parties really are interested, I'd like to encourage that. Have them contact me and we can
489 work something out for the future seasons.

490 J: We have put a use clause in these leases that says that Shawn can't"stay there if he doesn't do
491 anything. There's a performance clause that says we'll cancel the lease if he doesn't go and use it. So I
492 don't think we are at risk to him in any way.
 ) ) 223"

493 B: I hear what Officer Roundy is saying that if somebody has put time and effort into it, and for whatever
494 reason now starts to utilize the property, then in the future we ought to take them into consideration.

495 JR: If you understand the location, it was basically nothing. It had to be leveled and greatly developed to
496 the extent that it exists now.

497 J: This property had to be reclaimed from the creek bed. There was a significant amount of dirt work
498 done to reclaim this property.

499 B: Again, it lay fallow for two or three years, with nobody expressing an interest, so I guess the first one
500 expressing an interest at this point in time should get it unless there is another alternative as Officer
501 Roundy is talking about. If there's not, Shawn should get it for this growing season. I'd like to talk to the
502 other two individuals for future growing seasons. We probably ought to work something out.

503 J: I'll give them a petition form.

504 B: I'll be available by phone.

505 [end of phone conversation]

506 JR: Is it okay with you if I have a copy of this?

507 J: This is Legrand's, but I have the one on the Midway, and I am making one on this. I would be glad to
508 give you a copy of it.

509 JR: Just as part of-if there is anything that can go in the file on the keep-the-peace effort.

510 J: Let me take just one second to print this off for you.

511 JR: What is that you are printing?

512 J: I am going to give you the petition-for-benefits form that Fred and Wally could jointly sign and make a
513 request to Bruce officially for this, and I suggest, that what they do on this is say, you know, we want to
514 do this, and at a very minimum we want to be able to do it next year, or next spring, or whenever this
515 crop comes off.

516 JR: With the agreement with Shawn you have 10% of the yield, is that the agreement he made with
517 Bruce.

518 J: Yeah, what it was was $100 a year and 10% of the yield, and that was more like crop sharing because
519 we didn't know how to establish a dollar value lease on agricultural property when he has to do the
520 work, and he had to get the water, and he has to hoe the weeds, and he has to deal with the hassle, so
521 we bounced some numbers around as to what would be a fair return as an agricultural lease. We don't
522 have any real clear precedence for it. We bounced it around and decided to just go with it for this year,
523 and obviously if it is too much you'll let us know and if it is too little we'll be able to tell because the
524 attempt here, the interest of the Trust here, number one is to get the property into production. Where
525 ever there is no activity, we want to see more activity. And of course, number two, if it is possible, we'd
 224

526 like to let some of those properties begin to be productive in terms of a reward to the Trust. I am just
527 going to make a couple more edits to this document, and then I will print this for you and let you have a
528 copy.

529 JR: Is that pretty much generic? You just putting a different name in it?

530 J: Well, what I am doing right now is modifying the lease that we signed with him on Midway because
531 we have a signed lease with him on that other property. What I told him is, "Why don't you just move
532 on down to that other one because we didn't know how to react."

533 JR: On the Midway, he already has water there, right?

534 J: Yeah, he just gets a riser off the field next door, but it is the same 10 inch line that comes all the way
535 from Water Canyon that comes down and crosses the creek at that property. Whoever has the water
536 has had a right to throw a saddle on the line and take the water, so that's how they've done it in the
537 past. There's the lease. Now the blanks will be filled in. Those three little fields I've estimated at
538 approximately 20 acres of property, and then there is a little profit sharing fill in the blank in there that I
539 will do with Shawn and then we'll have ... lt says, "This lease shall be for a term of five years, commencing
540 on this date, terminable with or without cause by either property," in other words if Shawn decided to
541 bail, he would just give us a notice.

542 JR: You've given him a five year lease on Midway, but what about these 20 acres?

543 J: This is the 20, but this is the point: the term of the lease is five years, but it says terminable right here,
544 with or without cause by either party, so this will expire in five years, but in the meantime, for any
545 reason that he deems or any reason that we deem, then we can expire it today. The only thing we have
546 in here, it says in here, that if we terminate his lease then it says the right to terminate without cause,
547 the lessee specifically agrees and acknowledges that they shall have the right to terminate this with
548 respect to all portions of the property without cause thirty day notice. So on a thirty day notice, even on
549 these ag leases we have the ability to do something. One reason why, is like, if we were going to let
550 Isaac go out and put winter wheat or rye or something, we may decide to do something else with that
551 property. And if we want to do something else with that property, the Trust needs to be able to do that.
552 But there is a provision right here, it says that the Lessor terminates the lease prior to the expiration, the
553 Lessor will reimburse the Lessee for their capital improvements and their un-harvested crops. So you
554 can't just wait until the harvest is "white and all ready to harvest" and then cancel the lease. Does that
555 make sense?

556 JR: Yes.

557 J: OK. To coin a phrase.

558 JR: OK. Now as far as these interested parties, what is the best way to contact Bruce if they wanted to
559 talk to him.
 ) 225

560 J: Through that petition right there is the best way. But if you need Bruce's numbers, 1can give you his
561 numbers. He's not in his office today. Bruce's office is 801-328-2011. Bruce's direct line to his desk is
562 801-931-3822. Bruce's cell phone is 801-599-5796. And you probably have my number memorized.

563 JR: 2500. That's not hard is it?

564 J: 467-2500.

565 JR: 2500

566 J: 2500. 2400 is Jake. So if you don't mind, tell the boys so they can feel good about it. Do you want to
567 contact Shawn and tell him you will stand between him and all harm.

568 JR: [laugh]

569 J:That's your job isn't it?

570 JR: {laughs]OK, we'll go from here. Thanks.

571 J: OK, thank you.

572

573 2:51 PM

574 [I received a call a few minutes later from Shane Stubbs, he said he was· standing on the property with
575 Shaun, Marshal Roundy, along with Fred Jessop, Wally Jessop and a couple more men that he did not
576 know. He said he would put me on speaker phone and then 1repeated what Officer Roundy had said
577 and that we had a phone call with Bruce. 1summarized Bruce's decision and 1told Shane that Marshall
578 Roundy was to deliver Bruce's decision to the Jessop boys and that they would leave him alone. He said
579 Jonathan is here now and "that is not what he is telling us." 1suggested to Marshall Roundy that he
580 should give his instructions in writing and he said they would be written into his report and we could get
581 a copy later.]

582 1spoke with them by phone for a few minutes then the conversation cuts in here:

583 Fred: We're saying, "No Thank You."

584 J: But it's not your option and it's not your call. Bruce is the one that is going to say who gets to put seed
585 in the ground.

586 JR: They are saying the pOint that they think needs to happen that the point on whether the original
587 trust was set by law and whether it should revert to the church and who owns the property.

588 J: And that all might happen and I don't know how long it will take and if and when such a ruling came
589 down it would be like any other ruling and that would be the lay of the land at that time, and at this
590 time ...
 226

591 JR: that's the one I'm standing on.

592 J: Well, at this particular time, Judge Lindberg is the judge, and Judge Lindberg has already signed an
593 order.

594 JR: She hasn't signed an order pursuant to plant this, and this right here, Fred has ownership to this right
595 here, and he wants them to leave, so that's how we'll stand it...

596 J: Fred has no ownership. Fred is not in the chain of title.

597 JR: Fred is in the church, and so the property belongs to the church.

598 J: Whether the property belongs to the church or the Trust is a matter for the court to decide if there is
599 a difference.

600 JR: Let's go there with it then.

601 Fred: In the meantime, I am going to decide.

602 J: And by what authority?

603 F: I have made my decision.

604 J: It is not your decision to make.

605 F: [garbled)

606 J: It is a real property decision, and Marshall Roundy is there to enforce the law of the land as it sets
607 today, not what might be adjudicated tomorrow or last week. The way it sits right now is that it is Trust
608 property, and you sat here and talked to the Administrator, Bruce Wisan, and you heard Bruce's
609 decision.

610 JR: Yeah, I have all the information on that, and alii can do is reiterate the same thing I said before, that
611 the point of law that we are standing on ...

612 J: There is no point of law.

613 JR: Well, it is law, and the court will have to decide.

614 J: It is not law until the court decides. The point of law right now is already decided.

615 F: We don't see a badge; we have no idea what authority you speak from.

616 J: It doesn't take a badge to make law. What it takes is a document, and the document is, if you want to
617 go to the county recorder and look up, you'll see whose name that property is in, and if you want to go
618 to the court record, you will see who has been appointed as the administrator of that agency.

619 F: Well, you know what this sounds like, Jethro?

 ) ) 227

620 J: Tell me.

621 F: Sounds like a range war. The old range wars we used to hear about.

622 J: No it isn't. No it isn't. And that is why we have Marshall Roundy there so that it isn't a range war.

623 JR: Talking about the documents, the first document is the most important, and that was the original
624 Trust document. That is going to have to be decided. That is the document right there that we are
625 settling on ...

626 J: No. No. There is no lawyer in the world that will tell you that the first...

627 JR: You don't think that's right or not ...

628 J: No. The lawyer will tell you, and your lawyer will tell you, that it is the last document, not the first one,
629 that is the rule of the land because there are people that owned this land clear back to the Esplins and
630 the Lauritzens. The last one is the one that made it Trust property.

631 JR: OK. Well, I think we have a lot of miles to go on this, but I think we all understand where we are at.

632 J: Well, where we are at is that Bruce gave Shawn the right to drill wheat into that ground and he gave
633 the other boys the right to petition for a benefit. And we invited them to do so. And you heard Bruce
634 say that he had no interest in trying to short them of any value or investment that they may have made.

635 JR: Well, we are going back to that original Trust. With it, who owns the property if there is any issue or
636 any breakup it belongs to the church or the president of the church, and they told Fred to plant this
637 property.

638 J: Well, which one are you going to-the 42, or the 49, or the 98, or the OS? Which Trust are you going
639 to?

640 JR: The original.

641 J: The original 1942 Trust?

642 JR: The original re-instated Trust.

643 J: The original Trust said if it is ever divided it will be share and share alike.

644 JR: Well, we are talking about the lasttime it was in control oflhe church. It said if it was broken up
645 then the whole thing belongs to the church.

646 J: But that Trust has been amended and amended again by the courts.

647 JR: Well, then the courts are going to have to sort it all out, but that is where the issues are going to be.

648 J: Well, until they are, Bruce is the administrator.

 228

649 JR: Well, Fred, says this is his property, and we are going to honor him because he is a member of the
650 church, and he has asked them to leave and that is where I am going to stand as Chief of the Police.

651 J: As Chief of the Police, Officer, you should enforce the law, and not who said who said what. And if
652 you have any question about what the law is, then do some research, or talk to a lawyer that
653 understands where the law is. But you can't make law with your badge.

654 Fred: Jethro, have you made some agreement with these boys?

655 J: Yes, we have.

656 Fred: Personally, we like them. They are fine folks to the best of our knowledge. We have no issue here
657 except that they are stepping on what I feel is my territory. And I say, "No thank you. Back away. Don't
658 step on me." Now, you walk into my territory; do whatever you want to do. Do whatever you feel is
659 best, but I am telling you [garbled] my position is I'm asking you to leave. So, again, go do whatever you
660 feel best, and not to discredit you and your wisdom, and all that you're saying, but it makes no
661 difference to me.

662 J: Well, you know, I am telling you that the argument isn't even with me. I am just trying to help you
663 understand the position you are in. The point is ...

664 F: Go get your [garbled] and bring 'em on (laughed).

665 J: The point is whether or not there is ownership of property and what those ownership rights are. And
666 right now the ownership right is the one that Shawn represents.

667 F: If you would deal with my position, then you have every right granted to you by the country we live in.
668 and, don't try to do otherwise. And that is the position we are at.

669 J: And that is what we just barely did. We have every right to manage property that belongs to the Trust.
670 The Trust is doing so, and they have granted that to Shawn, and that is the right that the Trust has.

671 F: And I'm saying, "Halt."

672 JR: The only dispute is who owns the property, and the court is going to have to decide that.

673 J:"The court already decided. There is a county record that shows who owns the property.

674 F: Well, get your attorney's after it, and let's get on with it, but it's still the same answer.

675 J: Well, and if you disagree with that then the same is true. We both have good counsel, and we both
676 have worthy and wise-minded judges to make that decision, but as of right now, officer, this property
677 belongs to the Trust, and Shawn has the right to farm it.

678 JR: Well, Fred has been the one that had the original responsibility and so we are going to maintain that
679 he still has the responsibility of it.
 ) ) 22g

680 J: Fred has nothing. That was Uncle Merril's yard. Fred never even had a lease from the church.

681 F: I don't see where we are getting anywhere in arguing here with Jethro.

682 J: Well, and I hope you can appreciate it. But Shawn is the one that has a right to be there. And the
683 reason that we need an officer to keep the peace is so that he can show Shawn what his rights are.

684 ?Wally or F: The best thing for him to do is leave.

685 J: Why?

686 JR: That's what he needs to do.

687 J: I don't think so. I think the best thing for him to do is put his seed in the ground so that next spring
688 there will be some wheat.

689 ?Wally or F: We said, "No thanks."

690 JR: That's between Shawn and Fred, so we'll see what they say.

691 J: Well, actually, that's between you and Bruce, Jonathan, because you're the one, and I think everybody
692 is going to respect the officer of the law, but you as an officer are going to tell Shawn to leave, and if you
693 do, his instructions are to follow your instructions, but you need to call Bruce and make sure that what
694 you are doing is what an officer of the law should do is keep the peace and enforce property rights, and
695 if the property rights change by another judge, then you'll enforce that.

696 JR: OK.

697 F: [something in background]

698 J: 50 do what you told Bruce you'd do, and that is hand those boys some petitions and tell Shawn that
699 you'll stand between him and any harm, that you won't let any harm come to him, and tell him to get
700 back to work.

701 JR: I never did tell Bruce I'd do anything. Alii did was talk to you and Bruce and explore the options. But
702 there could be a peaceful solution.

703 J: Well, talk to him some more if you need to because you need to understand what the law is and then
704 you need to enforce the law.

705 JR: That's right.

706 J: OK.

707 [long, long pause]

708 JR: OK. I'm going to uphold Fred's right, if Fred wants you to plant it, then that's fine, otherwise,
709 [garbled]
 230

710 Shane: Did you understand that, Jethro?

711 J: No, I didn't hear that.

712 JR: They planted your property up there [garbled] Isn't some ofthat Stubbs property?

713 Shawn: We've got the lease on it.

714 Shane: Well, Jethro, what is that plan?

715 J: I didn't hear.

716 Shane: It sounds like we better call Bruce back and get it figured out.

717 J: Well, you've got a lease on five acres and by tomorrow morning you'll have the lease on this property.
718 You have verbal permission from the Trust to go ahead and drill the seed in and continue to prep the
719 ground and get ready. You'll have a lease by tomorrow. And Bruce has already made his decision for
720 this growing season that you are good to go. I think Officer Roundy will enforce you in that because that
721 is the law and if anybody wants to change it we will deal with that when the changes come.

722 Shane: That's not what he's claiming. Officer Roundy is claiming otherwise.

723 J: Well, Officer Roundy doesn't make law; he enforces law. And right now that is where he sits.

724 JR: I think everybody clearly understands what the law is, so we can go home.

725 ? Yeah

726 Shane: K, he says we are out of here. What's the next step?

727 J: Do what he says. Do what he says. He can be responsible. He's the one with the badge, and he's the
728 one that knows whether he wants to keep his badge. If he's going to enforce the law, then he'll enforce
729 the law.

730 Shane: K, great. Thank you.

Dear Uncle Lyle, 6-1-06

•

1 nave been very reluctant to express the concerns I have been feeling about David
Zitting but upon your suggestion to write, I yearn to report properly for if he is doing the
work he was sent to do [ do not want to meddle.
Over the last year there have been several issues that alarmed me. Mayor David
Zitting has spent much time with Bruce Wiesen. About a year ago he was getting phone
calls from him and they were short.and to the point He told me about a meeting in Salt
Lake City at the Little America that he had with Bruce Wiesen.
As the year progressed and issues developed with the police, Mayor Zitting
informed Chief Fred Barlow that Bruce Wiesen had agreed to send all communications,
emails and things he was doing namely allowing people to put head stones on graves etc.
to him and he would pass them on. He attended and recorded the first "Town Hall
Meeting" Mr. Wiesen put together. On the second "Town Hall Meeting" Lindsey Barlow
told Aunt Ruth Barlow, because the Mayor was out, that it was' requested that Mayor
Zitting attend and record the second meeting. After Aunt Ruth reported to Mayor Zitting
she came down seeking counsel because the Mayor acted very offended by the request
and stated that he was already going to be there to record it.
On the 20'" of May, Mayor Zitting and I were creating the budget for Hildale City.
He wanted us to increase the budget by 15-25% on all items to do with population
growth. I disagreed with his projections but he was adamant that it was going to happen.
He made a special point to increase the building inspection line items. While we were
discussing the budget, Bruce Wiesen and his attorney walked into the City Hall. Mayor
Zitting led them into his office and closed the door. All his recent communications with
Bruce Wiesen have been behind closed doors.
Smce I talked to you regarding these issues I have had a chance to talk to the
Mayor and ask some questions. It was in a meeting with Mayor Zitting, Harold Peine and
myself. We had some issues with SOme fences. Harold asked why Mayor Zittings' fence
hadn't been stopped. Mayor Zitting said the issue came up in one of his meetings and he
explained to Bruce Wiesen that he had communicated with the city and had it staked.
Bruce Wiesen gave him a verbal approval to keep building his fence. Mayor Zitting
presented a map and photo of the town from Bush and Gudgel, engineers, for Bruce

UEPT039333
 234

Wiesen and asked us for any input and any comments we would have on it. Following is
a copy of some of the conversation we had:

Meeting May 31, 2006

Why does he want the city to deal with it?

David: Bruce Wiesen wants certain things to be designated to the city, like parks,
cemetery. And tax exempt things like church buildings and annex buildings, store house
buildings. Just any input anyone wants to give.

What do l'Q!! think about input?

David: They are going to do what they are going to do. Not a lot we can do about it. And
if we are going to be here, they are saying they are allowing us to have input if we want
input. I mean, I don't have any qualms about that If there's people that want to have
some input about what they're doiug then I don't have qualms about that either. What
they have said, they've got this advisory board which is pretty much apostate people.
What they have said is, what Bruce Wiesen said is "I would rather see more FLDS people
on that board, because it represents the community more. I would rather see the majority
on the advisory board be FLDS people." Because the majority of the people are FLDS
people. Until it comes to the point where the advisory board becomes a board of trustees.
That board of trustees ought to be mainly FLDS people. He saying it shouldn't all be
FLDS people but equal representation. 1 don't see that happening. But he is offering for
any input we might have.

What stand is the city taking on it? Have you formulated your thoughts on that?

David: Well at one time when this all started coming out like it is, the direction as
instructed from Uncle Warren was "answer them nothing" since then 1 have been
encouraged to get what information I can from them. I have been doing that, and in
getting that information there are things that have come up that I have made comments on
and they have used those comments as a directive to sometimes change their minds on
things. But 1 have been trying to be very careful about that, 1 am not trying to be cohorts
with them or anything like that, I am just trying to get information, things come up that 1
. made comments on, so I don't know at this point where it is. At first Uncle Warren said
answer them nothing but I have been encouraged to do some of this.

Harold: Wasn't another one of the directives, no compromise?

David: No compromise? Uncle William made that comment; He said "Don't make any
compromises." I asked him at that time, is there anything specific? The beauty salon is
what he brought up as one example.

UEPT039334
 ) ) 23S

k!rY;. As a compromise?
•
David: Yes, as a compromise. And since that, a lot of other things have happened that we
really had no control over, and it looks like a lot more is going to happen too.

k!rY;. I told them as far as the utilities were concerned, we wasn't interested in doing
anything. We wasn't interested in seeing your map we are making our own, we'll just
carry on. But, Ijust didn't know how the City was going to respond.

David: You know this utility name and address list could be looked at as a compromise.
But I don't see where we had much of a choice.

krrY.;.. Well, it was with a court order.

David: TIlls could end up being a court order, a whole bunch of things. They've got this
judge, they just have to go to the judge and lay it before her and she writes out a court
order.

k!rY;. I understand that. They are going to subdivide this thing, at least that's their plan.

David: Yes- every lot there. Their intention, every lot will be a separate identity, a
separate piece of property and will be taxed separately.

k!rY;. And they're going to want to dedicate to the city all the streets.

David: Right.

k!rY;. So they can get it off their tax rolls.

David: They told me that they would do that; they will bring it, dedication plaque, to the
city. They told me they expect the city wont sign them, they will take it through the
courts and just go over the top of us and get it done any way without us.

k!rY;. How would they do that?

David: By court order.

k!rY;. You will take this street and you will .... ?

David: Largely they can use the public domain laws. Its been a public street, so dedicate
it as a street. There's ways they can do it.

k!rY;. I'm surprised they haven't gone after the businesses.

David: Oh, they're doing it

UEPT039335
 236

J<m:y; What are they thinking on it, do you know?

David: For taxes you mean? You will see it happening in one big sweep. Every business,
every home, everything. People need to understand in the Hildale Industrial Park, Bruce
Wiesen can't even breath on them. He has nothing to do with it. Unless someone is
storing some stolen property or something.

I pray for Mayor Zitting that he can do the things he is asked to do. I can truly say
I love him. If you have any advice for me in this matter or ifl need to mind my own
business I would appreciate a clearer understanding. I must confess the accounting staff
has taken steps to be much more closed lip about issues regarding the community than we
have in the past.

Sincerely,

Jeremiah B. Allred

--------------------.--------

- - - -
In relation to the family expenses, the home utility bills and the cell phone bills for the mothers have
been paid by Twin City Water Works. I will digress a little arid tell you about the company. Twin City
Water Works, Inc. was started as a non-profit corporation in 1972 to be the COmlnunity culinary water
system. It operated as a community water system until 1996 when it sold the distnbution system to the
Cities, but maintained the ownership of the wells and the water rights. It now sells bulk water to the towns
(Hildale and Colorado City) and maintains the wells. The Towns operate and maintain the water system
through individual customer revenues and buy bulk water from Twin City Water Works. The revenue to this
company has been about $400,000 per year. Upon seeking counsel from Uncle Lyle, he directed me to

UEPT039652
 244

continue the water company record keeping which Father was doing. In looking back over the expenses,
about half of them have been for RJA home expenses. After counseling with Uncle Lyle, I have continued to
pay some home expenses from the Twin City Water Works account such as home utilities (almost $4000 per
month for the few months I have been here), mother's cell phones (about $200-300/month), car insurance
(one policy contains about half home and half company vehicles, about $500 per month total), and a new van
payment of $900 per month. Several home vehicles are owned and were paid for by the company. Father
had told me, and Uncle Lyle had confirmed it, that Father did the payments from company funds with Uncle
Fred's approval, and he had also checked with Uncle William. There were a lot of other purchases before
which were made by the company, especially home improvements on the old RJA home. Ifwe choose to not
pay home expenses with company funds, the company has enough income through bulk water sales that we
would need to find a way to somehow get the extra revenue funds forwarded to the storehouse. In addition,
the Storehouse would need to help the household here at least on the Utilities portion. The company has
never been audited. Up to this time, especially with the company covering some expenses, the family needs
have been met financially, and I have been able to occasionally tum in to the storehouse a surplus from the
income made by the working family members. I am seeking counsel on whether or not to continue
paying some home bills from the company funds.
