DREW referred to his files and noted that O&#39;BRIEN also
had civil actions under the following numbers: 1161-57,
43-59 and 1351-60. The present action, 131-6oHw, was filed12/2/60 and there is a motion to be heard.on Q/27/51 for
dismissal. O=ERIEN, through his attorney, has filed
a motion of default. Both motions will be heard in U.S.
District Court at Los Angeles on 6/27/61.
AUSA THORNTON Chief Com S Attorney&#39;sb_I0 Office, Los Angeles, adtised SAs ono/22/61 that O&#39;BRIEN and his attorney, _ Ews
appeared at the U. S. Attorney&#39;s Office and furnished
a copy of the amended complaint II for the infringement
of the copyright and unfair competition action at the
U. S. District Court, alleging criminal violations of
the copyright statute. Mr. THORNTON stated he did not
read the 19 page complaint but had immdiately referred
it to the FBI, therefore, he was not in a position to
say whether or not he considered there was any criminal
violation of this statute. Mr. THORNTON advised he had
inadvertently stated in his letter to the FBI that he
wanted the defendants investigated when he actually wanted
to know more aboutime plaintiff prior to rendering his
opinion or having any investigation conducted. Mr. THOR
was informed of the other civil actions filed by O&#39;BRIEN
and of the statements made by Chief Deputy DREW, who
is personally known to Mr. THORNTON.
Mr. THORNTON pointed out that he had not given
this matter consideration or reviewed the complaint
in view of the fact he was preparing to leave his present
position within three days and become associated in
another project within the United States Attorney&#39;s
Office.
Mr. THORNTON then stated that in view of the

&#39; pending motions before the court, he did not desire
any investigation and would defer any opinion at this
time, pending the outcome of the court&#39;s decision

desired this matter be again discussed with him after
the decisions on the motions.
