Judge Rules Against Reno, Holder and Meissner in Elian Lawsuit

A federal judge in Miami has denied a motion from lawyers for Attorney
General Janet Reno, Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder and INS Commissioner
Doris Meissner to halt discovery in the civil rights lawsuit spurred by the
government's April 22 seizure of Cuban boat boy Elian Gonzalez.

The claim, filed by Judicial Watch in May, seeks damages in excess of $100
million on behalf of more than 50 plaintiffs, including Donato Dalrymple, who
rescued Gonzalez from the ocean ten months ago only to have to turn him over
at gunpoint to federal agents.

Family friends and neighbors from Gonzalez's Little Havana block who say they
were assaulted or otherwise harmed during the raid have also joined the suit.

The defendants' motion to halt discovery was denied on Tuesday in a tersely
worded ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Federico A. Moreno:

"The court has considered the motion and the pertinent portions of the
record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is adjudged
that the motion is denied."

Dalrymple contends that his Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights were violated
when federal agents allegedly rampaged through the Gonzalez house tear
gassing and roughing up those inside. Ultimately one agent pointed a machine
gun at him and allegedly shouted, "Give me the f - - king boy or I'll shoot."

The ruling means that Judicial Watch can begin gathering documents and other
evidence relevant to the case from the Justice Department and INS.

"We can also begin deposing witnesses," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton
told NewsMax.com late Friday, adding that Reno, Holder and Meissner would be
at the top of their witness list.

"This is a big step towards justice and a big victory for all those heroes in
Little Havana who were hurt by this raid," Fitton said. "Now it's full steam
ahead."
