===Lawsuit=== In 1941, Allen McDaniel and others, as members of the National Spiritual Assembly, filed suit against Sohrab to try to stop him from using the name Bahá'í. The NSA felt this created the impression that Sohrab was "connected with and authorized to represent the Baha'í religion..." This suit was filed in the Supreme Court of New York County. The judge granted a motion to dismiss, stating that "the plaintiffs have no right to a monopoly of the name of a religion. The defendants, who purport to be members of the same religion, have an equal right to use the name of the religion..." The judge mentioned that the complaint could be further amended ([http://bahai-library.com/?file=sohrab_vs_us-nsa_1941 Bahai Library "Sohrab Vs NSA"]) and the NSA appealed ([http://www.h-net.msu.edu/~bahai/diglib/books/P-T/S/sohrab/BS247.gif H-Net "Sohrab 'Broken Silence' page 247"]) but the Appellate Court affirmed the decision of the lower court.
