OLIVER BOULETTE

Please Note: There are several issues associated with this affidavit:

(1) Richard DeLaRonde and Bonnie McIntyre are once again listed as Plaintiffs even though several weeks ago Counselor Trachtenberg sent my then attorney Mr. Jeff Niederhoffer a Notice of Discontinuance which, in fact, removed them as litigants. It would appear Queen's Bench Rules no longer apply

(2) Item 4 of Mr. Boulette's affidavit states, "Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "A" to this my affidavit is a copy of a posting from CyberSmokeBlog.blogspot.com printed on March 10, 2006." Problem is, Exhibit "A" contains three postings - one from March 10 and two for March 9, 2006

(3) Item 5 of Mr. Boulette's affidavit states, "Attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "B" to this my affidavit is a copy of a posting from CyberSmokeBlog.blogspot.com printed on March 20, 2006." Once again, Exhibit "B" shows a March 15 and March 16, 2006 posting from CyberSmokeBlog but nothing dated March 20, 2006

(4) To date a truly amazing ninety-one (91!) documents (the vast preponderance by Counselor Trachtenberg) have been filed with the Court in this case which is nowhere near trial ready

(5) Because of the aforementioned errors and inaccuracies, on March 30, 2006 I will be asking the Master to throw out Mr. Boulette's sworn affidavit of March 21, 2006
