3.

Carol Nye-Wilson (NYE-WILSON) and Randy Chapel (CHAPEL) seek to

promote transparency, integrity, and accountability in government, and fidelity to the rule of law.
Plaintiffs regularly request records from federal agencies pursuant to the FOIA to seek an accounting

5
6

of what the Government has been done to harm NYE-WILSON, CHAPEL, and CHAPEL's family.

Plaintiffs will disseminate the findings and the requested records to the American public to inform

them about "what their government is up to.

9

4.

The Plaintiffs also will inform the public of the irreparable damage by the

Government in concert with several immoral and unethical Religious frauds, three insurance carriers,

11
12

two accreditors, approximately one dozen attorneys/ law firms, and members of the U.S. Departments

13

of Education and Justice to willfully and knowingly cause as much irreversible damage as possible,

14

while perpetuating known corruption and fraud via their principal actor, Assistant U.S. Attorney

15

James A. Scharf (SCHARF) for the Department of Justice.

Defendant U.S. Department of State (STATE) is an agency of the United States

25

Government and is headquartered at 2201 C Street N.W., Washington, DC 20520. Defendant STATE

Defendant U.S. Department of Education (USDE) is an agency of the United States

Government and is headquartered at U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW.,
Washington, D.C. 20202. Defendant USDE has possession, custody, and control of records to which
Plaintiffs seek access.
7.

The United States Government has a history of withholding records and information

26

from Plaintiffs by refusing to be transparent, accountable, and by ignoring rule of law. It refuses

27

transparency and accountability. It refuses rule of law. The United States Government with other

parties have caused as much irreversible damage to Plaintiffs as possible, while perpetuating known

corruption and fraud that harms the public welfare.

8.

Jeffersons view of Government held that government can only do what is explicitly

enumerated in the Constitution of the United States. One hundred years later, Theodore Roosevelt

5
6

disagreed, holding that government can do anything that is not specifically prohibited in the

Constitution, and Government had to be more central and assertive than what the Constitution had

envisioned.1 Two hundred years after Jefferson, the Bush Administration's expansive vision of

executive power eclipsed the Constitution's mandated system of checks and balances. Some see the

10
11
12

Bush years as lurching toward an imperial presidency, posing a direct threat to the essence of
American liberty.2 The overall case and issues are in part, a symptom of that Administrations

13

obscene power-grab at the direct expense of individual liberties, parameters set forth in the U.S.

14

Constitution, State Constitutions, federal and state laws and decisional cases.

15
16

9.

For the record, all the Obama Administration (OA) had to do was steer clear of the

train wreck of Margaret Spellings (SPELLINGS), et al., and her explicit need to prostitute herself

17
18

for corporate America. Instead, the OA simply added to the massive SPELLINGS clusterfuck by

19

continuing the Governments cover up instead of enforcing rule of law that resulted in irreparable

20

damage and educational scandal, the likes of which America has not seen since the Teapot Dome and

21

Watergate scandals.

22
23
24
25

10.

In spite of everything going for Arne Duncan (DUNCAN) in 2009 to clearly skirt,

and distinctly distance himself from the massive SPELLINGS clusterfuck, he defended the
disastrously mishandled undertakings by SPELLINGS, and multiplied the damage.

14.

The various RICO parties at all times relevant were employed by their respective

enterprises and practiced a pattern of racketeering activity, conducted or participated, directly or


indirectly, in their various enterprising affairs. Beginning in 2001, or earlier, and continuing through
2016, RICO parties and their co-conspirators engaged in a continuing pattern of racketeering activity,

5
6

through the internet, phone, the mail, and in-person interactions to support, defend, and encourage

activities for purposes unauthorized by federal and state laws, the U.S. Constitution and state

constitutions, legislation by Congress, and court decisional cases. A pattern of racketeering activity

extended through a myriad of actions to directly and indirectly cause as much irreparable damage to

10

CHAPEL, NYE-WILSON, Major Dr. Dale Wilson, PhD. (Army ret.) (WILSON), and by extension

11
12
13
14
15
16

Joel Chapel (JOEL) and Susan Allister (SUSAN), while supporting the personal and corporate
unlawful gain of the enterprises, RICO parties, and co-conspirators.
15.

The enterprises, RICO parties, and co-conspirators engaged in a pattern of

racketeering activity so deeply embedded, pervasive, and continuous that it was effectively
institutionalized as a business practice, thereby corrupting the very mission of the enterprises, while

17
18

donors to WESTERN, for example, believed they were supporting WESTERNs original and

19

approved mission.

20

16.

21
22

24
25

Unfortunately for America and the cause of justice, the enterprises, RICO parties, and

co-conspirators interfaced their schemes with the U.S. Government, which directly and indirectly
protected the enterprises, RICO parties, co-conspirators.
17.

The difference between the indictments against FIFA et al. and this case? The

enterprises, RICO parties, and co-conspirators cooperate with, rely upon, are encouraged by, and are

26

directly and indirectly protected by the U.S. Government to collectively, actively, knowingly, and

27

willfully promote the corruption and fraud of the enterprises, RICO parties, and co-conspirators. This

28

FOIA COMPLAINT PAGE: 5


Records Custodian: Carol Nye-Wilson, PO Box 711419, Mountain View, HI 96771, E: carolnyewilson@yahoo.com, P: 808-756-0936

occurs because the corruption and fraud of the enterprises, RICO parties, and co-conspirators is

interwoven with the cover up for current and former U.S. Government employees who exceeded their

power and obstruct justice as the government did to Plaintiffs.

U.S. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION

5
6

18.

The conduct of the enterprises, RICO parties, and co-conspirators violates the

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 28 U.S.C. 1961 et seq., among many other

federal and state laws, as well as the U.S. Constitution, the California Constitution and decisional

cases. The Government, and in particular OA, has acted to cover up the racketeering, conspiracy,

10
11

wire fraud, money-laundering conspiracy, making willfully false statements and documents to federal

12

authorities, money laundering, and student aid fraud. In spite of this knowledge by the Government

13

and OA, it has acted to protect the enterprises, RICO parties, and co-conspirators at all costs over and

14

against CHAPEL, NYE-WILSON and their family members, causing irreparable damage.

15

FALSE CLAIMS ACT (FCA), 31 U.S.C. 3729 - 3733

16
17

19.

The False Claims Act (FCA), 31 U.S.C. 3729 - 3733 was enacted in 1863 by a

18

Congress concerned that suppliers of goods to the Union Army during the Civil War were defrauding

19

the Army. The FCA provided that any person who knowingly submitted false claims to the

20

government was liable for double the governments damages plus a penalty of $2,000 for each false

21

claim. Since then, the FCA has been amended several times. In 1986, there were significant changes

22
23

to the FCA, including increasing damages from double damages to treble damages and raising the

24

penalties from $2,000 to a range of $5,000 to $10,000. The FCA has been amended three times since

25

1986. Over the life of the statute it has been interpreted on hundreds of occasions by federal courts.

26

In fiscal year 2015 alone, the Justice Department recovered over $3.5 Billion from false claim cases.

20.

To violate the FCA a person must have submitted, or caused the submission of the

false claim (or made a false statement or record) with knowledge of the falsity.
21.

As the OA is now chiefly aware, WESTERN has been in violation of the FCA due to

its false claims in the Program Participation Agreement (PPA) required by USDE under Title IV

5
6

and HEA requirements since 2003, in order for schools to apply for and receive Title IV federal

student financial aid. The OA supports schools like WESTERN circumventing the FCA through

intimidation, threats, coercion, and extortion of a students education and all future education

leading to master degrees. Some 40% of Western Seminary's income is from Title IV funds. The

10

Higher Education Act ("HEA") mandates that an educational institution is ineligible to request Title

11
12

IV student loan and grant funds without first executing a PPA with the Secretary of Education. The

13

PPA requires participating schools to maintain compliance with the HEA, Section 504, Title IV, Title

14

VI, FERPA, and etc. in order to receive Title IV federal student aid funds. If an institution submits

15

knowingly false promises to comply with the HEA and other federal statutes and regulations required

16

by the mandatory PPA, and willfully violates them or is knowingly and willfully violating them at the

17
18

time of signing the PPA, it is actionable under the FCA. The controlling case on point is United

19

States of America ex rel. Mary Hendow and Julie Albertson v. University of Phoenix; Civil Action

20

No. 2:03-cv-00457-GEB-DAD (E.D. Cal.), which netted a $78.5 million settlement.

21
22
23
24
25

22.

Defended by the OA, schools like WESTERN can use settlement agreements to

prevent students, employees and members of the public from whistle blowing to the government or
filing FCA cases. Schools like WESTERN can falsify or destroy records, make false statements to
federal investigators, commit tax evasion, make false claims, block First Amendment rights of

26

students and their families, retaliate against whistle blowers reporting Section 504 fraud, obstruct

27

justice, conceal child molestations, and commit offenses of dishonesty in fiscal responsibilities, etc.

23.

WESTERN has been approved for Federal Student Aid Programs (FSAP) since

2003. Since that time, its tuition and fees has increased to $5,526,839 per fiscal year, whereby forty
percent coming from FSAP. That is a maximum cap of $71,848,907 for tuition and fees since 2003,
with a maximum of $28,739,562.80 paid by FSAP since 2003. Without FSAP in 2003, WESTERN

5
6

would have been out of business and insolvent, since it already had financial troubles for which

NWCCU placed WESTERN on institutional probation in 2003. The OA and most importantly, the

PRESIDENT, the Attorney General, the current and former Secretary of Education and other high

ranking members of Defendant USDE involved in FSAP are now chiefly aware of this due to the

10

investigative work by relator Plaintiffs.

11
12

24.

Under the FCA, if the government intervenes in the qui tam action, the relator is

13

entitled to receive between 15 and 25 percent of the amount recovered from the school by the

14

government through the qui tam action. If the government declines to intervene in the action, the

15

relators share is increased to 25 to 30 percent. These varieties provide for a possible recovery range

16

of $4,310,934.42 to $8,621,868.84 from the school for the relator Plaintiffs.

17
18

25.

CHOOSING TO NOT INVESTIGATE IS NOT AN OPTION FOR THE

19

EXECUTIVE BRANCH. The U.S. Congress makes it clear that (31 U.S. Code 3730) The

20

Attorney General diligently shall investigate a violation under section 3729. If the Attorney General

21

finds that a person has violated or is violating section 3729, the Attorney General may bring a civil

22
23
24
25

action under this section against the person.


26.

THE OA INSTEADS CHOOSES TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE AND ABUSE

POWER AGAINST PLAINTIFFS. We have learned, attorneys are reluctant to take the FCA

26

case against WESTERN in fear of retaliation directly or indirectly against themselves and

27

current or future cases by Justice. Because the United States Government is directly involved in

28

FOIA COMPLAINT PAGE: 8


Records Custodian: Carol Nye-Wilson, PO Box 711419, Mountain View, HI 96771, E: carolnyewilson@yahoo.com, P: 808-756-0936

the corruption and fraud supporting and defending directly and/or indirectly the enterprises, RICO

parties, and co-conspirators, the OA is in violation of the law. Obstructing justice and abuse of

3
4

power by the OA in this case are grounds for impeachment (U.S. Constitution at Art. II Sec. 4.) and
clearly grounds for employment termination by Justice attorneys like James A. Scharf.

5
6
7

9

Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) 28 U.S.C. 1346(b)


27.

The FTCA constitutes a limited waiver of sovereign immunity, permitting citizens to

pursue some tort claims against the government. There are times when the Government screws up,
fails, and in some cases the subsequent damage can wipe out an entire family as in the controlling

10
11

case of Don Yoon, et al. v. United States, United States District Court for the Southern District of

12

California, Case No. 3:10-CV-1578 JM. In Yoon, Don Yoons wife, two daughters and mother-in-

13

law were tragically killed when a Navy/Marine Corps jet crashed into the Yoon home. The United

14

States Government fought, but finally admitted liability for the crash that was caused by improper

15
16
17
18

maintenance of the jet which is analogous to improper oversight of WESTERN, ATS and NWCCU
by the Defendant USDE which caused irreparable damage to Plaintiffs and their family members.
28.

Defendant USDE has an ongoing history of failing oversight of accreditors and thus

19

schools as noted in the 2003 audit by the Inspector General of Defendant USDE. This case and the

20

impact it has had on CHAPEL, and thus SUSAN, JOEL, NYE-WILSON and WILSON, underscores

21
22
23
24

this point. CHAPELs life is now eviscerated and his family has been completely destroyed.
SUSAN is off with someone else, and is raising JOEL as if CHAPEL doesnt exist as JOELs father.
29.

On October 7, 2011, Jill Siegelbaum, Attorney in the Office of General Counsel for

25

Defendant USDE admitted under oath that Defendant USDE had no responsive records and is

26

unaware of any other location where such records might be located regarding records required for

27

letters and actions in 2007-2008 by Defendant USDE. Similarly, on December 10, 2015, Defendant

28

FOIA COMPLAINT PAGE: 9


Records Custodian: Carol Nye-Wilson, PO Box 711419, Mountain View, HI 96771, E: carolnyewilson@yahoo.com, P: 808-756-0936

USDE stated it does not have any records documenting any type of waiver or exception to

the provisions of the PPA. The OA and most importantly, the PRESIDENT, the Attorney

3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

General, the current and former Secretary of Education, and other high ranking members of
Defendant USDE are aware that at the heart of this case are the ongoing enforcement failures by
Defendant USDE that have now completely and irreparably destroyed a family by all of this with
irreparable damage to the relationships.
30.

In 2012, Plaintiffs sued the USDE under the FTCA for over $40,000.000. The OA

continued to protect and cover for the school (WESTERN) and two accreditors, while flushing
millions of dollars of federal money from taxpayers to the school. The USDE and particularly the OA

11
12
13

brushed aside justice under two claims: 1) Sovereign, and 2) 28 U.S. Code 2680(h).
31.

Due to the U. S. Government intervening in this case to support the corruption and

14

fraud of the enterprises, the RICO parties, and the co-conspirators, due to SPELLINGS' underhanded

15

actions in 2008, WESTERN remains in business and unjustly accredited and as far as the unaware

16

public, courts, donors, students, alumni and U.S. Congress know, and did nothing wrong, while

17
18

CHAPEL, SUSAN, JOEL, NYE-WILSON, and WILSON unjustly suffer.

19
20
21

SPELLINGS
32.

It is time to publicly call out SPELLINGS for what she has done that has caused so

much damage to so many people. It should be clearly understood that Plaintiffs are not the only ones

22
23
24

impacted by all of this. While SPELLINGS only now admits her actions and statements regarding
the censorship of the TV show Postcards from Buster were wrong and a mistake, she is and has

25

been the controlling factor. Without her advocating for the corrupt and fraudulent Religious and

26

other educational leaders, it is reasonable to conclude that the Government would NEVER EVER

27

have become so deeply involved in this case.

28

FOIA COMPLAINT PAGE: 10

4

33.

This SPELLINGS train wreck and her explicit need to prostitute herself for corporate

America is her problem and lifestyle choice, not the OAs. It is time the OA realizes that
SPELLINGS needs to be thrown under the bus rather than protect that corporate whore.
34.

The U.S. Government, and in particular, the OA claims sovereign privilege and 28

5
6

U.S. Code 2680(h) to support SPELLINGS, her special interests and corrupt Government

employees. By doing this, the U.S. Government and in particular the OA, has directly inserted itself

into the conflict, obstructing justice in two civil cases, while abusing power and destroying lives.

9
10

35.

It says a great deal about a sovereign that it must be deceitful and act with trickery. A

lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesnt become right and evil doesnt become good just because the

11
12
13
14
15
16

sovereign says so.


OBAMA AND OTHERS KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING ON
36.

Who in Government knows about this case? The PRESIDENT, Attorney General

(Holder, Lynch) and other high ranking members in the Department of Justice, former and current
directors of the FBI, current and former U.S. Attorneys across the United States, each member of the

17
18

U.S. Congress, former and current employees of the U.S. Department of Education and State, and

19

many more. Each and everyone one of them in Government has received factual information about

20

this case of Government corruption and educational fraud that irreparably damaged Plaintiffs.

21
22
23
24
25
26

37.

The U.S. Government and in particular, the OA has fought for a lack of transparency

and the lack of accountability, and thereby perpetuating the massive SPELLINGS clusterfuck. It
was under SPELLINGS that the General Counsel Office (TALBERT) instructed Defendant USDE
employees via memo to disregard and not to speak with Plaintiffs CHAPEL, NYE-WILSON and
their attorney, John Hannon making things worse. SPELLINGS, et al., placed their desire to avoid

27

FOIA COMPLAINT PAGE: 11


Records Custodian: Carol Nye-Wilson, PO Box 711419, Mountain View, HI 96771, E: carolnyewilson@yahoo.com, P: 808-756-0936

public scandal over the well being of a family, to nourish the Religious regarding a sex offender and

their corruption.

3
4

38.

SPELLINGS, et al., didnt merely obstruct justice and abuse power in 2007-2008.

SPELLINGS, et al., set the Governments vision to eviscerating CHAPEL and NYE-WILSON using

5
6

the Government as a means to an end. To the extent that the OA proceeded to continued that

evisceration, and most unquestionably by using James A. Scharf as a preferred weapon of the

Government, betrays the depths of grave depravity Government has been willing to take this case.

9
10

39.

Superintendent Beverly Hall was indicted for her involvement in the Atlanta Public

Schools cheating scandal. The GBI report said she knew or should have known what was going on.

11
12

Throughout this entire ordeal, CHAPEL and NYE-WILSON have repeatedly written to PRESIDENT

13

and others within the U.S. Government, often using certified letter to prove receipt and to show that

14

the OA knew or should have known what was going on.

15
16

A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT
40.

Plaintiffs and their family members are irreparably damaged by the U.S. Government

17
18

and in particular by the OA, while the OA continues to support, defend, and cover up educational

19

corruption and fraud with public money at all costs, since the cover up also serves the ongoing

20

failures by Defendant USDE, Defendant STATE, the Department of Justice, and a host of others.

21
22
23
24
25
26

41.

The OA is playing with fire and it doesnt care how many people or families are hurt.

As a result of the willful and unjustified damage perpetrated against Plaintiff CHAPEL, he has lost
his education, his house, his land, his things, his 2nd Amendment rights, his professional pursuits, and
most of all his family, because the Government will stop at nothing to cover for the enterprises, the
RICO parties, and the co-conspirators.

Plaintiff CHAPEL no longer has any will to continue. He sees no future for himself,

and has become a shell of a human. His life, his 2nd Amendment rights, his things and property, and
most of all his family were eviscerated before his eyes. Acting on behalf of the Government,
SCHARF says CHAPEL should just move on.

Basically, .......... Government, et al., screwed your life completely over, now move
on and live with it.

The Government's lack of rule of law and cover up of corruption and fraud--beginning

8

with SPELLINGS through the present OA--resulted in a magnitude of educational fraud and chaos

10

that devastated Plaintiff's very will to live, while it also damaged the integrity of higher education and

11

accreditation. Should anything happen to Plaintiff CHAPEL, there is a paper trail for third parties

12

interested in this case tracing back to the Government sources, and their willful and knowing actions

and inactions.

CHAPEL IS A PROTECTED PARTY UNDER THE LAW


44.

On or about the fall 2001, CHAPEL became aware of Matt Tuck (son of TUCK) being

cheated through WESTERN under false claims of disability (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973). WESTERN did not have a Section 504 program, coordinator, or any required policies or
procedures. Through FOIA responses in 2010, CHAPEL was able to piece together WESTERN's lies
to OCR-SF in 2005. DUNCAN and OCR-SF received CHAPELs OCR Review exposing
WESTERNs lies the first week of January 2011 (SUSAN filed to divorced CHAPEL 30 days later).
45.

RUARK, with other administrators at WESTERN, willfully made known

misrepresentations to OCR by false statements and backdated documents (CA Penal Code 134) in
order to mislead federal authorities during a federal investigation in order to appear that WESTERN

26
27
28

was compliant with Section 504. Plaintiffs now know that this was done, because such impacted
WESTERNs signed PPA since 2003 and involvement in FSAP. CHAPEL has been at all times

In the fall of 2001, CHAPEL was an employee of WESTERN and he was forced out

19

of his position and as a student in 2002, due to actions taken by WESTERN, RUARK, KORCH,

Barn. & C. 247), whose remarks have become a classic in the law, as follows: Malice, in common

acceptation, means ill will against a person, but in its legal sense it means a wrongful act, done

intentionally, without just cause or excuse. If I give a perfect stranger a blow likely to produce death,

10

I do it of malice, because I do it intentionally and without just cause or excuse. If I maim cattle,

11
12

without knowing whose they are, if I poison a fishery, without knowing the owner, I do it of malice,

13

because it is a wrongful act, and done intentionally. If I am arraigned of felony, and willfully stand

14

mute, I am said to do it of malice, because it is intentional and without just cause or excuse. And if I

15

traduce a man, whether I know him or not and whether I intend to do him an injury or not, I

16

apprehend the law considers it as done of malice, because it is wrongful and intentional. It equally

17
18
19

works an injury, whether I meant to produce an injury or not. This case is well beyond malice at
this point.

SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN


49.

The United States has gone silent in this case three times. The first time was in 2008

at the direction of the General Counsels Office (TALBERT) of Defendant USDE. At that time, the
General Counsels office instructed Defendant USDE employees via a memo to disregard and not to

25

speak with Plaintiffs CHAPEL, NYE-WILSON and their attorney, John Hannon, to further obstruct

26

Plaintiff's justice by abuse of power after the 2008 letters were written at the direction of

27

SPELLINGS. Plaintiffs are aware of this due to earlier FOIA responses. SPELLINGS, et al., placed

Records Custodian: Carol Nye-Wilson, PO Box 711419, Mountain View, HI 96771, E: carolnyewilson@yahoo.com, P: 808-756-0936

their desire to avoid public scandal over the well being of a family, to nourish the Religious and cover

up multiple acts of deceit and corruption..

3
4

50.

The second time of silence was in January 2011, thirty days prior to SUSAN filing for

divorce from CHAPEL, and after CHAPEL filed his "OCR REVIEW" to Defendant USDE noting

5
6

the corruption of the enterprises, RICO parties, with their co-conspirators that has been protected

through today by United States Government and in particular the OA. At that time, DUNCAN and

others within the Defendant USDE were made aware of the facts that WESTERN has been lying to

Defendant USDE, making false statements and misrepresentations regarding Section 504 compliance.

10

Plaintiff CHAPEL was able to piece together the lies by WESTERN, et al., due to FOIAs he had

11
12
13
14
15
16

filed, which resulted in him and Plaintiff NYE-WILSON filing additional lawsuits to force Defendant
USDE to produce records it was intentionally holding, having gone silent in January 2011.
51.

This instant action marks the third USDE period of silence to Plaintiffs. The OA

knows it has destroyed lives, including CHAPEL and his family (SUSAN and JOEL), and caused
significant damage to NYE-WILSON and WILSON, yet the OA remains silent, apparently hoping

17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25

everything will go away. This is not the leadership America expects and needs. Rather this is
cowardice by the OA.
52.

OA is chiefly aware that its claims of 2007-2008 are baseless, and that it clearly had

no evidence to do what it did or continues to do. OA is also chiefly aware that the enterprises, RICO
parties, with their co-conspirators claims are not simply baseless, but are in violation of 127 years of
stare decisis, the U.S. Constitution, each of the states constitutions, federal and state laws and
decisional cases, which has caused major problems. (Failed oversight (Navient letter of 9/5/15, p. 1-

26

2), lacked evidence (10/29/15 letter to David Berger, p. 3), lacked legal support (10/29/15 letter to

standards or procedures that override Mary R. v. B. & R. Corp., 149 Cal. App. 3d 308, etc.),

colluded with NWCCU and ATS (Navient letter of 9/5/15, p. 5), obstructed justice, abused

3
4

government power in order to destroy two civil cases (Navient letter of 9/5/15, p. 5-6), violated the
False Claims Act with student aid fraud (10/29/15 letter to David Berger, p. 4), and the U.S.

5
6

Department of State (10/29/15 letter to David Berger, p. 5-6, 11/14/15 letter to David Berger, p. 1-

5) mishandled a child abduction.) Yet, the OA continues to cover everything up, causing further

damage to CHAPEL, SUSAN, JOEL, NYE-WILSON, and WILSON.

9
10

53.

CHAPEL has made final notice and has clearly and conclusively noticed the serious

nature of this case. Every step of the way, the Government, the enterprises, the RICO parties, with

11
12

their co-conspirators, has fought to silence, cover up and damage Plaintiffs because so much is on the

13

line. For the Government, it used James A. Scharf as a preferred weapon. Now irreparable damage

14

has occurred on multiple fronts and in multiple areas. It is reasonable that, if the roles were reversed,

15

the people in government, the enterprises, the RICO parties, with their co-conspirators would not

16

want the irreparable damage to occur to them or their families. Both CHAPEL and NYE-WILSON

17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25

have acted to reason with the OA, to seek documents and perform an intensive investigation to prove
their points, but the Plaintiffs limit has been reached.
54.

There are some who are concerned that CHAPEL might do something. Broadly

speaking, in Plaintiff's case, the gestalt of the Government for years has been to misrepresent the
issues to favor the corruption. By doing the mental gymnastics one can reason that regardless of the
evidence and legal arguments the Plaintiffs uncover and note, it follows that it doesn't matter if
CHAPEL is a model citizen or not, because the Government will continue to misrepresent the issues

26

to favor the corrupt actors. Thus, the Government created a dilemma: why should CHAPEL make the

27

effort to be a model citizen without the benefits and justice he deserves are being withheld from him

28

FOIA COMPLAINT PAGE: 17


Records Custodian: Carol Nye-Wilson, PO Box 711419, Mountain View, HI 96771, E: carolnyewilson@yahoo.com, P: 808-756-0936

by the Government -- A Government hell bent on damaging his family and him? Government has

done this; Government has caused this; Government is furthering the problems needlessly. It is not

3
4

CHAPEL the public should be worried about, rather it is the OA and ironically, these are the
arguments of the National Rifle Association (NRA). OA is actually supporting the NRA narratives

5
6

by abusing CHAPEL and his family. To the extent that, apparently, no Government employee has

done the mental gymnastics on this is exasperating. Apparently, James A. Scharf has not, as his law

degree came from a Cracker Jacks box.

9
10

55.

Indeed, society is an aggregate of people living together in an ordered community that

relies upon the notion that by collaboration, people can be governed by accepted norms, laws, and

11
12

values allowing members of society to live together in peace. America's Founding Fathers invoked

13

this idea with the phrase Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness for which they believed

14

governments are created to protect their citizens. But when members of a government denounce

15

those central core values, a society turns from being based on rule of law, to rule by law which

16
17
18
19
20

governments use to oppress members of society.


56.

There is very, very limited time left now to see if the PRESIDENTs promise,

Transparency and the Rule of Law will be the Touchstones of this Presidency is actually true,
or if this case will erupt into societal chaos to envelope the Obama Administrations legacy. The

21

time is overdue for the PRESIDENT to exterminate the last segments of SPELLINGS massive

22

clusterfuck harming education, students, and families. Now is the time for justice.

On October 26, 2015, Plaintiff NYE-WILSON submitted a FOIA request to Defendant

USDE, seeking access to the following:

58.

On October 27, 2015, Defendant USDE acknowledged Plaintiff NYE-WILSONs

request and assigned it No. 16-00200-F.


59.

On December 7, 2015, Defendant USDE stated, that your request has been forwarded

to the appropriate office to search for documents that may be responsive to your request, but, due to
the Departments voluminous amount of FOIA requests, your request, FOIA Request No. 16-00200-

14
15

F may not be processed within the 20 working-day timeframe. The Department apologizes for any

16

inconvenience this may cause you. Please be assured that your request will be processed as soon as

17

possible. The Department apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause you.

18
19

60.

On that same day, Plaintiff Nye-Wilson informed Defendant USDE, a component

may extend the twenty-day response time "only in unusual circumstances." 34 CFR 5.21(e) Unusual

20
21
22

circumstances exist when: the component needs to collect responsive records from separate offices;
the request involves a "voluminous" amount of records that must be located, compiled, and reviewed;

23

or the component needs to consult with another federal agency or other DOJ components that have a

24

substantial interest in the responsive information. Plaintiff Nye-Wilson went on to note that

25
26
27
28

Defendant USDEs assertion doesn't fall within the requirements of the law. Further, according to
34 CFR 5.21(d) or 34 CFR 5.21(e) a requestor can be notified to modify the FOIA request so it can
be processed within the 20 day period or arrange with the Department an alternative time period

FOIA COMPLAINT PAGE: 19


Records Custodian: Carol Nye-Wilson, PO Box 711419, Mountain View, HI 96771, E: carolnyewilson@yahoo.com, P: 808-756-0936

within which the FOIA request will be processed. What you have cited to us doesn't fall within the

statutory requirements of FOIA. This is key since, the court looks if the request has been fulfilled. It

3
4

has not.
61.

On December 17, 2015, Defendant USDE stated The Department of Education (the

5
6

Department) anticipates responding to your FOIA request with an interim response by the end of

January 2016, and if the date changes, you will be notified in advance. At that time, Defendant

USDE notified Plaintiff Nye-Wilson of her right to appeal within 35 days of the date of the letter.

9
10

62.

On December 17, 2015, Plaintiff notified Defendant USDE: We understand that the

Department of Education has punted. Let's work together and attempt to make the request more

11
12

streamlined: We are not asking for the Department to provide total amounts, unless it has them. We

13

are not asking for the Department to perform any action such as adding up all the various times

14

Western Seminary has been paid with federal funds. We are not asking for the Department to go

15

through all the various applications and documents for federal student aid for students attending

16

Western Seminary, if such can be avoided, so that we can perform the math to reach the total amount

17
18

of money Western Seminary has been paid with federal funds. If the Department has a REPORT or

19

PRINT SCREENS, that provides information for the years 2003 to the current, concerning the federal

20

funds for the different programs noted in the request, we can do the addition and so on. IF THIS IS

21

EASIER, then we will accept a REPORT or PRINT SCREENS, and do the math. The bottom line is

22
23
24
25
26
27

we are looking for the total amount of federal money that has been paid to Western Seminary
since 2003.
63.

As of the end of January, Defendant USDE has produced no records and made no

effort to contact Plaintiff NYE-WILSON.

On August 19, 2015 Plaintiffs sent seven FOIA requests to Defendant STATE with

details to ensure that the records could be reasonably found in short order, including names of people
who might hold such records and places where records might be located.
65.

On Sept 18, 2015, Defendant STATE acknowledged receipt of Plaintiffs request, and

5

7

assigned it Case Control Number F-2015-13699.


66.

The requested records from Defendant STATE were:


Request 1:
Seeking any record(s) that document Susan Anne Chapel or Susan
Anne Allister of England is unable to enter the United States of America as of fall
2009.

Seeking any record(s) that references Carol Nye-Wilson.

18

Request 7:

Seeking any record(s) that references Randy Chapel.

19

67.

Seeking any record(s) that references Joel Chapel.

Defendant STATE responsive records were due on Oct 19, 2015. Defendant STATE

20
21
22

never produced any records. An appeal was sent on Oct 19, 2015 and a response was made on Oct
23, 2015 stating that an appeal was not necessary.

23

68.

As of this date, Defendant STATE has produced no responsive records.

24

69.

It is reasonable to conclude, considering the history between the U.S. Government and

25
26
27

in particular the OA, that the OA will continue to act to damage and harm Plaintiffs and their family,
even if it means destroying records to cover up what it has done.

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(A)(i), Defendants were required to determine

Plaintiffs immediately of its determination, the reasons therefore, and the right to appeal any adverse
determination.

As of the date of this complaint, Defendants each of them, have failed to: (i) determine

the requested records or otherwise demonstrate that the requested records are exempt from

Because the Defendants, each of them, have failed to comply with the time limit set
