	Judge Denies Motion to Dismiss in Clergy Sex Abuse Case Current-Argus August 6, 2008 http://www.currentargus.com/ci_10118200 CARLSBAD - A district court judge Wednesday denied a request from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Las Cruces to dismiss a civil claim in which it is accused of negligence in the case of a Franciscan brother accused of sexual abuse. An attorney for the diocese argued that the dates of the abuse claims - 1975 through 1978 and possibly 1979 - predate the 1982 creation of the Las Cruces diocese and it should therefore not be held responsible. "The diocese of Las Cruces did not exist and should not be part of" this claim, said Minerva Camp.
