Sanchez V. Church Of Scientology Of Orange County

This case stems from the Sanchezes' involvement in a series of management training courses. Initially, they were impressed with defendant Sterling Management Systems (Sterling) and agreed to attend classes at Sterling's training  facility in California. Upon advice of Sterling's representatives, the Sanchezes obtained additional training from the Scientology and Dianetics Center (Center), also located in California and operated by the Church. They became dissatisfied with the management consulting training and thereafter chose to disassociate with the defendants, to repudiate their agreements, and to return from the Center to New Mexico. After returning from California, a Church agent attempted to contact the Sanchezes, and up to two hundred mailings were sent to them from various defendants. They filed their complaint on December 30, 1991.
