Capella University Defense Attorney, Stella Fey Epling, Lies to Court
It appears as if Stella Fey Epling, an attorney with the law firm of Drinker Biddle that is representing Capella University in the current discrimination lawsuit that has been filed against them, has committed an act of perjury!
To date, Epling and her partner in the case, H. Christian L’Orange, have filed just two sets of documents with the United States District Court, California Central District, pertaining to the lawsuit. Because the first set of documents failed to comply with the local rules of the court, Epling and L’Orange were threatened with sanctions - now, we believe, Epling has intentionally lied to the court!
Specifically, Epling stated in a personal declaration she made to the court on October 31, 2005, that:
"I am familiar with Plaintiff’s websites [sic] – www.capellauniversity.org and www.capellanazis.com. In or around July 2005 I first visited those sites and reviewed disparaging statements about Capella. Shortly thereafter, my access and the access of all computers, nationwide, at my law firm was revoked. After attaching documents to the counterclaim which were printed from another remote computer I used to access the sites, I was no longer able to access the sites from that IP address. I have observed that plaintiff appears to update his websites [sic] continuously.
"I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 31st day of October 2005, in San Francisco, California."
The fact of the matter is that one of those sites, http://www.capellanazis.com did not, and could not have existed until on or after October 8, 2005 when the domain was purchased. Epling, on the other hand, states that she first visited it in or around July 2005. Of course, that would have been impossible for her to do.
