It's one thing to try and defend a corrupt entity, like Capella University, it's an entirely DIFFERENT matter when their unethical defense attorneys continually lie and make up their own facts, as well as continually engage in blatant unethical behavior. That; however, is EXACTLY what Capella's shysters from the "law firm" of Drinker Biddle & Reath have done, all along, and continue to do at this very moment. Of course, Sir Chrisy the Sissy, H. Christian L'Orange and Capella Stella Fey Epling seem to think that just because they're "attorneys" that they’ve been granted unlimited licenses to lie. It's one thing to for any attorney to whine when someone disagrees with them or, gasp, actually criticize them for their actions – it's a completely other matter when, like L'Orange and Epling, they INTENTIONALLY engage in lying (yes, it is a verifiable FACT they these two unethical shysters have LIED – on NUMEROUS occasions). Obviously L'Orange and Epling suffer from Messiah complexes that are so chronic, that they think they can lie and get away with it just because they managed to get through law school. Again, it is a VERIFIABLE FACT that both of these unethical sleazy scumbag shysters have not only lied but have also continuously engaged in grossly unethical behavior. Let's take a look at some of the VERIFIABLE FACTS about these two liars:
Capella Stella Fey Epling's LIES and Other Unethical Acts:
1. It is a verifiable FACT that Capella Stella Fey Epling (and/or one of her thugs from Drinker Biddle & Reath) calls individuals, on the telephone, who are associated with the plaintiff that have absolutely NO CONNECTION with the lawsuit in question, whatsoever, in any way, shape, or form in order to personally interfere in matters that are none of her business. That's not only a FACT but Epling even admitted it!
2. Capella Stella has intentionally lied, under penalty of perjury, by stating that she viewed a web site approximately THREE MONTHS before the domain even existed. (

As with all unethical liars, Epling then tried to apologize to the court by stating,
"My original declaration provided information about my experience in accessing plaintiff's websites. It was somewhat imprecise in that, "in or around July 2005" more precisely referred to the first visit to only one of the two plaintiffs websites mentioned.” (

FACT: there was nothing “imprecise” about what Capella Stella said. In addition, both she and L'Orange continually insist that EVERYTHING they falsely accuse the plaintiff of is the absolute truth, regardless of the actual content of what was REALLY said. Of course, they continually editing and cherry picking also demonstrates that Epling and L’Orange are hypocrites. Furthermore, both Epling and L'Orange have consistently lied in their court filings and, not surprisingly, THEY INTENTIONALLY REFUSE TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTS to “support” their “facts” (oops, make that LIES). They also REFUSE to produce the actual documents that are linked to from our site which PROVE they are a couple of unethical LIARS in their whines to the court.
3. Capella Stella Fey Epling has consistently submitted documents to the court that have violated the court’s rules. As Capella Stella Fey Epling is an esteemed member of the Bar Association of San Francisco, (and is currently sitting on one of their boards), one would think that she would be capable of abiding by such standard items as the rules established by the Federal Courts. Here are some examples (again, with links to the original documents) where she (and L’Orange) have VIOLATED the court’s rules:
In their very first filing, the Epling and L’Orange failed to submit all documents. (

Epling submited a document to the court that used a font that was too small (

Epling failed to Provide a "Proof of Service" to the court and, again, gets threatened with sanctions. Can ANYTHING be more basic that that? Again,

Considering that there are at least FOUR shysters (Epling, L’Orange, Greg Thom, and Priscilla McNulty) who are all very involved in this case on behalf of Capella University, along with the FACT that Epling is a past President of the San Francisco Barristers Club, as well as a current member of the board of the San Francisco Bar Association's Foundation, her ability to consistently fail to follow the court’s rules is astounding.
Epling's cohort, L'Orange was also JUST threatened with sanctions AGAIN for violating at least FIVE of the court’s rules. Again,

Sir Chrisy the Sissy, H. Christian L’Orange – Legal Misfit
It is a verifiable FACT that shyster L’Orange has lied, on numerous occasions in documents he has filed with Federal Court. One of the most glaring examples is his utterly BIZARRE statement that this site had (and this is a direct quote),
". . . approximately 25,213 pages of material were copied from those sites. This is in addition to materials obtained from several of these sites earlier in the litigation"
It is an absolute VERIFIABLE FACT that we NEVER created 25,213 pages of material that were posted on this site as of November 30, 2005! Of course, L'Orange is such a grossly unethical LIAR that he has NEVER produced anywhere near the "25,213 pages of materials" that he continuously lies about to the court. Of course, he CAN’T because they don’t exist. Even so, he HAS (and, again, this is a VERIFIABLE FACT) tossed the same documents at the court as many as EIGHT TIMES – guess he thinks he can fool the court.
While L'Orange first lied about the number of pages on our site to the court more than a year ago, he again LIED, under penalty of perjury, today (August 22, 2007) by stating that (and again, this is an EXACT quote):
"More than 25,000 pages of material were captured in November 2005 when trial counsel was afforded the opportunity to access [name redacted] numerous websites [sic]. Additional material can be found on various discussion boards throughout the internet sic]."
Again, L'Orange claims, or most certainly “infers” that “more than 25,000 pages of material were captured in November 2005” from this site. Again, this is a BLATANT LIE which is verifiable. Why doesn't unethical lying shyster H. Christian L'Orange turn over all 25,213 pages of materials to the court? The answer is simple – L’Orange is a LIAR and THAT is a VERIFIABLE FACT!
At this point we want to move on to another item concerning L’Orange’s alleged "expertise" on just about everything pertaining to all laws ever created just because he's an "attorney." One GREAT example of L'Orange’s extreme arrogance (as well as his extreme IGNORANCE) concerns his ongoing rants as to why Capella has refused to abide by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). In fact, L'Orange has just demonstrated again, what a complete moronic thug he really is in an e-mail (which the Plaintiff has just filed with the court) that was dated August 15, 2007. Specifically, L’Orange whined to the plaintiff's attorney that:
"I want to raise, one more time, [the Plaintiff’s] refusal to turn over the documents he received and/or filed with the FPCO. While I appreciate his continued incantation that he has no obligation to do so because there is an ongoing investigation, I'm sure you can understand my reluctance to accept his legal explanation. Perhaps he may pick up a law degree in his next round of schooling, but right now he is a litigant who has discovery obligations. I realize he jumps on the FPCO train with all his complaints (including the one at issue here) but that doesn't make him an [sic] legal expert, regardless of what he may think."
Let's look at some of the FACTS that show what a complete ignoramus L’Orange is by examining his rant.
1. Capella University and their chief shyster, Greg Thom (who is the primary subject of that investigation) are still being investigated by the United States Department of Education, Family Policy Compliance Office for their intentional refusal to turn over education records as defined by FERPA.
2. Sir Chrisy the Sissy, Hank Christian L'Orange displayed his complete and utter IGNORANCE of that law during a couple of his abusive depositions – he didn;t even know the acronym for FERPA! For example, during his first ill-prepared deposition on December 28, 2005 (it is a FACT that L'Orange showed up with all of his exhibits in a mess – they weren’t even marked and he had to have some additional items FAXED because he didn’t have them), when he asked,
"So it is your understanding at this point, that at least with respect to FERPA, FERPRA, the issue was closed?"
FERPRA?! Oh well . . .guess we can’t expect to much from a "legal expert" and "scholar" like L’Orange. Then, at his next abusive deposition, on January 17, 2006, ignoramus L'Orange asked,
"Did you [sic] letter that you received from FERPA -- and I think that's F-E-R-P-A -- did it state anywhere that the investigation was still ongoing?"
Obviously, L’Orange didn’t know! Let's further explore L'Orange’s ignorance of FERPA, a Federal Law (which he now seems to think he's an expert on). It is a FACT that in yet another one of her unethical stunts, his equally dishonest partner, Capella Stella Fey Epling sent an e-mail to the United States Department of Education, Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) on January 26, 2006 offering to write a letter for them (remember that the FPCO is a law enforcement agency!) in an attempt to exonerate the FACT that shyster Greg Thom is the KEY FIGURE from Capella University for his personal role in REFUSING to abide by the law.

Now let's continue looking further into what a "legal expert" shyster L’Orange is regarding FERPA. It is a FACT that the Director of the FPCO sent shyster Greg Thom, as well as Capella’s lying President – Michael Oaf-Offerman, a letter on January 27, 2006. The last paragraph of that letter provided very explicit instructions to Greg Thom and Michael Offerman: specifically, it instructed them (and Capella University) to:
"Please do not destroy any records directly related to the Student before this Office has made a finding for Allegation #2 and informed the University of any actions related to this allegation. Records directly related to the student would include paper records, e-mail (from the student to a school official, from a school official to the Student, and between school officials regarding the student), and electronic postings by and concerning to the Student."
It's time to take a look at the hard FACTS about Capella’s and L’Orange’s REFUSAL to turn over those records. Again, it is a VERIFIABLE FACT that they have, even now,
1. NEVER produced copies of all the e-mails the plaintiff wrote to Capella officials – including, but not limited too nearly all of his instructors
2. NEVER produced all of the e-mails sent to the plaintiff by his instructors and other employees.
3. NEVER produced ANY of the materials from the Plaintiff’s first two classes at Capella
4. NEVER produced all of the “electronic postings by and CONCERNING to the Student.” These include all of the course room postings as well as all of the posts made on Capella’s General Discussion where all kinds of students (oops, “learners” were HOWLING about the ineptitude of Capella’s administration, along with the disastrous implementation of WebCT.
5. and much, much more.
Once again, it is a VERIFIABLE FACT that L'Orange, along with the rest of the Capella thugs, have intentionally REFUSED to produce all of the documents required under FERPA. Of course, Hank Christian L'Orange, ever the legal scholar and expert on all matters pertaining to any law ever written, also ignores the FACT that shyster Greg Thom wrote a letter to the FPCO, dated March 7, 2005 in which shyster Thom stated,
"Based on advice we have received from outside counsel, I believe our logic was flawed in thinking that since the ASC [one of Capella’s Kangaroo Courts] consideration of [the Student's] case was still in process at the time we responded to [the Student], we were not required to disclose documents at that time. Again, to the extent any such documents exist, they will be forwarded to [the Student]."
So, just who is shyster Greg Thom's "outside counsel?" – Knight Commander and Liar L'Orange? As Capella’s chief counsel, Greg Thom's (and his "outside counsel's") logic was flawed? What about the FACT that Greg Thom, Capella, or for that matter none of their shysters from Drinker Biddle & Reath have EVER turned over ALL of the documents that were demanded THREE YEARS AGO. It's a good thing that shyster L'Orange is such a legal expert and scholar of FERPA. (Or was that FER-PRA?)
