James Damiano vs Bob Dylan continued
As late as 1992 Dylan associates were still signing certified mail receipts for Damiano's materials. The certified mail receipt below among others were sent to Elliot Mintz who testified "yes" under oath when asked "Do you recall ever giving Mr. Damiano your fax number?

15 Q. Now, Mr. Patterson, when did you
16 first meet the plaintiff in this action, James
17 Damiano?
18 A. I guess it would be around '88. I'm
19 not sure of the date. I had met Jim at
20 Broccoli-Rabe Studios when he was recording there
21 and I worked on a couple of his sessions. That is
22 my extent of meeting Jim until last year when he
23 came up to my store.
24 Q. And you were working at Broccoli-Rabe
25 Studios in 1988?
24
1 Patterson
2 A. Right. I did assistant engineering
3 on and off there.
4 Q. Was that a formal position, assistant
5 engineer, or was it on an as-needed basis?
6 A. As-needed basis.
7 Q. Who owned Broccoli-Rabe?
8 A. Brian Drago.
9 In that time frame of 1989 or
10 whenever Tony and I had that conversation, that
11 was it, that was the end of it. He would mention
12 Jim. Did you hear from him. No. So it was like
13 there was no connection after that.
14 Basically, my relationship with Tony
15 was that of him working with another band, and any
16 connection to Jim Damiano was through Phil
17 Pfisterer, so that was really between Tony, Phil
18 and Jim than it would be more for me. You know,
19 like I said, I only met Jim a couple of times in
20 the studio so I don't really know him personally.
21 I know more about him now -- from 1994 to now than
22 I did back then. You know.
23 Q. Okay. And when you say here in the
24 last sentence that I read --
25 A. Right.

1 Patterson
2 Q. -- after Mr. Damiano says, "He" --
3 referring to Mr. Tiller, "He knew that I wanted to
4 meet Dylan," and your response, "Oh yeah. No, he
5 knew that," the "he" that you are referring to is
6 Tiller, is it not?
7 A. Which one is this?
8 Q. If you look at seven lines from the
9 bottom.
10 A. Right.
11 Q. Okay. Mr. Damiano says, "So he knew
12 that I wanted to meet Dylan." Do you see that?
13 A. Right.
14 Q. And then you say, "Oh yeah. No, he
15 knew that, everybody knew that." Is the "he" --
16 is it fair to say that the "he" there is Tiller,
17 that Tiller knew that Mr. Damiano wanted to meet
18 Dylan? When you used the pronoun "he" --
19 A. Right.
20 Q. -- is the "he" Tiller?
21 A. Yeah, I guess so. I don't really
22 recall that. I knew that Jim wanted to meet Dylan
23 but, you know, but I don't know --
24 Q. I'm just asking who the "he" is?
25 A. The "he" would refer to Tony, right.
