    NULLING AND F/Ning PREPARED LISTS


A prepared list is one which is issued in an HCOB and is used to 
correct cases. There are many of these. Notable amongst them is 
C/S 53 and its corrections.

It is sometimes required of the auditor to F/N such a list. This 
means on calling it that the whole list item by item is to F/N.

                 QUICKIE

It is wrong think that one has to quickie a prepared list and 
"get it to F/N in a hurry." A prepared list should always be done 
so as to get optimum results on a pc.

If a prepared list reveals that more needs to be handled, then it 
should be handled. For example, if "Engram in restimulation?" 
reads, the handling would be to assess an L3RG and handle the 
reads. (Warning: You would not run Dianetics on a Clear or OT. 
For Clears you would assess the L3RG and then simply indicate the 
read. For persons at OT III or above, you would handle the L3RG 
as per HCOB 4 July 79, HANDLING CORRECTION LISTS ON OTs.)

If something hot leaps into view on a prepared list, handle it.

If a more major action were found to be needed, it should be 
programmed for later handling, per list instructions.

              C/S SERIES 53

A C/S Series 53 is always done Method 5. When one is doing a C/S 
53 to F/Ning list, it is assessed Method 5 and then reassessed 
Method 5 until the whole list F/Ns. It is never done Method 3.

     "NONREADING AND NON-F/Ning" LISTS

Now and then you get the extreme oddity of a list selected to 
exactly remedy the case not reading but not F/Ning.

Of course, this might happen if the list did not apply to the 
case (such as an OT prepared list being used on a Grade IV, 
heaven forbid). In the case of lists to correct listing, and in 
particular the C/S 53 Series, it is nearly impossible for this 
situation to occur.

A C/S will very often see that the auditor has assessed the list 
on the pc, has gotten no reads and the list did not F/N.

A "reasonable" C/S (heaven forbid) lets this go by.

Yet he has before him first-class evidence that the auditor:

1. Has out-TRs in general,

2. Has no impingement whatever with TR 1,

3. Is placing his meter in the wrong position in the auditing 
session so that he cannot see it, the pc and his worksheet,

4. That the auditor's eyesight is bad.

One or more of these conditions certainly exist.

To do nothing about it is to ask for catastrophe after 
catastrophe with pcs and to have one's confidence in one's own 
C/Sing deteriorate badly.

An amazing number of auditors cannot make a prepared list read 
for one of the above reasons.

Putting in Suppress, Invalidation or Misunderstood Words on the 
list will either get a read or the list will F/N. If a list does 
not F/N, then the subject of the list is still charged or the 
auditor is doing something wrong with the list.

The moral of this is that prepared lists that do not read, F/N. 
When prepared lists that do not read do not F/N or when the 
auditor cannot get a prepared list to F/N, serious auditing 
errors are present which will defeat a C/S.

In the interest of obtaining results and being merciful on pcs, 
the wise C/S never lets this situation go by without finding what 
it is all about.
