COUNT I-Federal Trademark/Tradename Infringement
(AUA lost this claim!)
Neal Simon and AUA claimed Woodward violated the
Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 1114
Federal Judges ruled in Court Orders:
"Woodward is not selling, distributing, or advertising any goods or
services on his website and the website does not contain links to any commercial sites.
The Lanham Act therefore cannot be properly invoked in this case."
The Lanham Act applies to corporations.
Lanham Act, 15 USC 1125(a)
False designations of origin, false descriptions, and dilution forbidden
(1) Any person who, on or in connection with any goods or services, or any container
for goods, uses in commerce any word, term, name, symbol, or device, or any combination
thereof, or any false designation of origin, false or misleading description of fact,
or false or misleading representation of fact"
AUA advertised "Since AUA's inception, USMLE Step 1 first-time pass rates
for all students is 80.6%".
The university's own data shows AUA students only have about a "43.7%"
USMLE pass rate.
(AUA refused to produce any data to support their "80.6%"
claim.)
AUA USMLE Pass/Fail Rates
"20 USC 1011a"
(a) Protection of Rights
(2)(D) students should not be intimidated, harassed,
discouraged from speaking out, or discriminated against;
(E) students should be treated equally and fairly; and
(3) Protected speech
The term "protected speech" means speech that is protected under
the first and 14th amendments to the Constitution, or would be protected if the
institution of higher education involved were subject to those amendments.
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 11
By presenting to the court a pleading, written motion, or other
paper-whether by signing, filing, submitting, or later advocating it-an
attorney or unrepresented party certifies that to the best of the person's knowledge,
information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances:
(1) it is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass,
cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation;
(2) the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by
existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending,
modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law;
(c) Sanctions.
(1) In General. If, after notice and a reasonable opportunity to respond, the
court determines that Rule 11(b)
has been violated, the court may impose an appropriate sanction on any attorney,
law firm, or party that violated
the rule or is responsible for the violation. Absent exceptional circumstances,
a law firm must be held
jointly responsible for a violation committed by its partner, associate, or employee.
This claim was an attempt by AUA to cover-up AUA's
incompetance and corruption.
Judges refused to sanction AUA for filing this frivolous claim!
Note: The Federal Courts enjoined Woodward from stating:
"AUA conspires to commit fraud and violations of civil rights;"
This is a blatant attack on "FREE SPEECH"
and "Due Process" and fraud committed by Federal Court judges!
This is an example of how the courts protect universities and violate students!

Count IV
COUNT II-Infringement Under the ACPA
(AUA lost this claim!)
Neal Simon and AUA claimed Woodward violated the
Anticycbersquatting Consumer Protection Act,15 U.S.C. 1125
Federal Judges concluded in Court Orders:
"the evidence indicates that Woodward created the website
exclusively as a means of expressing his anger and dissatisfaction with AUA and
its medical program.
Therefore, there is no evidence supporting a finding that Woodward's
conduct violates the ACPA."
This claim was another frivolous claim filed by Neal Simon(AUA).
The Federal Courts refused to sanction AUA for filing frivolous claims!

Count II | Count IV
COUNT III-Willful Violation of FERPA
(AUA lost this claim!)
Neal Simon and AUA claimed Woodward violated the
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. 1232g
Federal Judges concluded in
Court Orders:
"Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 fail to state a claim for
relief as a matter of law."
That's right, "FERPA" only applies to schools, colleges, and
universities, like AUA!
This is a list of private student
names, USMLE, and GPA scores disclosed by AUA!
The Federal Courts knew this claim was frivolous during the first hearing!
The Court called AUA's FERPA claim
"Ridiculous"
AUA accused Woodward of
"Tortious Interference"
for publishing the private student records AUA disclosed!
The definition of
"Tortious Interference" is
"intentional interference with contractual relations".
In an attempt to protect AUA for disclosing private student records
the Federal Courts enjoined Woodward from stating:
"AUA breaches contracts;"
AUA's
student handbook states:
"PRIVACY RIGHTS
The University adheres to the mandates of the United States
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act(FERPA)"
Example of the Court's ruling on Federal Laws:
FERPA, The Clery Act,
The Lanham Act, 20 U.S.C. 1011a,
and contract case law:
Ross v. Creighton University
957 F.2d 410-Court of Appeals 7th Cir. 1992
”basic legal relation between a student and a private university
or college is contractual in nature.
The catalogues, bulletins, circulars, and regulations of the institution
made available to the matriculant become a part of the contract”
Doherty v. Southern College of Optometry.
862 F.2d 570, 577, (6th Cir.1988).
"Catalogs, manuals, handbooks, bulletins, circulars and
regulations of a university may help define this contractual relationship."

COUNT IV-Defamation:
-
AUA students are sexually assaulted;
(AUA lost this claim!)
AUA claimed defamation for posting a news article about the sexual assault of an
AUA student.
AUA admitted an AUA student was sexually assaulted.
AUA claimed "Tense". The only evidence AUA disclosed reads
"
AUA student sexually assaulted!" Singular!
News article
AUA tried to cover-up!
To protect AUA the Federal Courts lied in
Court Orders:
"Woodward no longer states on his website that
"AUA students are sexually assaulted";
instead, he asserts:
"AUA student sexually assaulted."
AUA's own evidence proves Woodward never said "students"!
-AUA student pass rate for USMLE medical board exams is only 22.9%;
(AUA lost this claim!)
AUA sued Woodward for publishing news articles,
documentation from Academic Medicine, and
AUA's own student records concerning
United States Medical Licensing Exam(USMLE) scores.
News articles and
Academic Medicine show that the USMLE pass rates
for the two medical schools on Antigua is only "22.9%"!
AUA
testified and
advertised an "80.6%" USMLE pass rate.
The other Antigua school,UHSA, advertised over a
"90%"
USMLE pass rate!
(90 + 80.6)/2 = 85.3% not 22.9%!)
The only evidence AUA produced shows what Woodward published.
"Antigua only has a 22.9% USMLE Pass Rate!"
AUA's own student records show AUA student USMLE pass rate is only
"43.7%"!
AUA not only refused to produce any documentation to substantiate their claim, but
filed motions to quash subpoenas Woodward served to obtain
AUA's United States Medical Licensing Exam(USMLE) data.
The Federal Court granted all of AUA's motions to quash
to ensure the truth couldn't be discovered!
The Federal Courts lied in Court Orders:
Court Orders:
"Woodward no longer states that
"AUA's student pass rate for USMLE medical board exams is only 22.9%"
Instead Woodward states that
"Antigua only has a 22.9% USMLE Pass Rate!"
AUA's own evidence proves Woodward
never stated that AUA had a 22.9% USMLE pass rate!
"Antigua only has a 22.9% USMLE Pass Rate!"
The Federal Court lied in Orders to protect Neal Simon and AUA!
AUA and Neal Simon's defamation claim:
-"AUA agents are liars;"
(AUA lost this claim!)
It has been proven "AUA agents are liars"!
AUA and Neal Simon's defamation claim:
-"AUA professors teach students wrong information;"
(AUA lost this claim!)
It has been proven "AUA professors teach students wrong information"!
-The locality of AUA is full of
"rape, murder,
fraud, and government corruption."
(AUA lost this claim!)
Federal Judges concluded in
Court Orders:
"Antigua, however, is not "concerning the plaintiff."
Moreover, Woodward presents evidence indicating that there is significant
rape, murder, fraud, and government corruption on Antigua."
Court Opinion and Order:
Top | Count I | Count II | Count III
Count IV
The Federal Court enjoined the following statements:
"AUA falsifies its student's grades"
"AUA routinely commits fraud upon its students"
"AUA conspires to commit fraud and violations of civil rights"
"AUA commits criminal activities reportable to the FBI"
Reference:
AUA Student Loans
Advertised USMLE Pass Rates
AUA Grading Policy
"AUA breaches contracts"
"AUA colluded with St. Joseph Hospital to
maliciously end Woodward's career"
"AUA committed perjury"
Neal Simon, President and General Counsel for AUA
swore under oath that everything in their lawsuit was true!
AUA lost Counts I, II,
III, and defamation
claims in a sworn verified complaint!
This is just the beginning of the court documents that will be published on these claims....
