Deborah Dolen's Lawsuit Scam:
How and Why Deborah R. Dolen aka "Author" Mabel White
Targeted My Family
in a
Calculated Nonsensical, and Overly Ambitious Pro se
(DIY) Money-Grab Lawsuit Scam, and the Ugly
Truth About Her
Malicious
Intent, Bullying Tactics, Bogus Claims and
Vexatious
Abuse of the Judicial System.
by
Joanne Kidd, Jacksonville, FL
Our courts are intended to be used by actual victims
seeking justice, and not for scamming, greedy individuals who are
willing to abuse the legal process set up by our courts by
intentionally making malicious, meritless, and patently false
claims in an attempt to reap financial gain through monetary
demands of "settlement" in a game of lawsuit lottery.
Despite the worn out and preposterous tales from Deborah
Dolen, about
how she "had to sue two women"... how she had "proof"....
and how she was some sort of a victim, her tales were not
only illogical, they were completely coo-coo-crazy! Her
lies were calculated; her narratives were fabricated; and
her theories were ridiculous, and a complete deviation
from any recognition of sanity. Deborah Dolen
deliberately, and intentionally targeted my family and
manufactured the entire
"lawsuit" charade in what was just another one of her
attempted blatant money-grab scams, apparently thinking that she could publicly
vilify us in a toxic, nasty, and repulsive smear campaign, and bully us with
frivolous claims until we agreed to pay her to go away. This time, however, her plans of an easy money heist didn't
turn out quite as she had
anticipated...

and DISMISSAL of Dolen's nonsensical claims against us.
Jump to
The Federal Court's FINAL Judgment
in FAVOR of the Defendants and AGAINST Deborah Dolen.
There had been absolutely no provocation, no
prior contact with or even knowledge of this woman who called herself "Deborah R. Dolen aka
Mabel White" before she barged
straight into
our lives with
her concocted and irrational claims in a
vexatious pro se (DIY) lawsuit scam.
After finding out
that we'd been targeted in her lawsuit scam, however,
it didn’t take long to realize that
we were dealing with someone who was not only completely out
of touch with reality and not in her right mind,
but someone who was selfish, cruel, toxic, vulgar, calculating, unprincipled,
unethical, and malicious, as well.
(Not to mention that she was someone who was desperately
seeking attention.) I don't know if she is at risk for
delusions, or just evil, but it was more than a little concerning
that this person had latched on to us with her hysterical
claims and threats of a Federal lawsuit. With minimal research, we found that Deborah Dolen was a
seasoned scammer and convicted
felon - and she was now apparently intent on
targeting my family in a new scam involving a pro se
(representing herself) Federal lawsuit in order
to set up (as she boastfully named it) her "retirement fund."
Her problem: Even though she threatened and
tried her best to smear our reputations in her calculated
attempt to extort money from us through litigation
for a bogus lawsuit, because we knew she could never back up
any of her false claims or complaints, there would
eventually come a time for her to "put up or shut up." We
stood our ground and stood up to her, her threats, her
bullying, and her attempted lawsuit scam, and we now
hold a judgment against her for her "vexatious"
behavior" (as defined by the Federal Court).
More Details on What Happened:
Deborah R. Dolen
made
claims that she was a victim of cyber bullying. She also claimed she
was a victim of "stalking" and that she had become a new advocate against it. She promoted
many false
nonsensical victimization claims, loss of income claims,
claims of dental and health
deterioration (allegedly due to us), and even her
inability to fit in socially - but every calculated claim
was a complete
pretense and conjured up as a part of
her plan to scam, scheme, and
game the legal system (pro se) while disparaging, libeling, and
labeling us as her
"defendants," and her "tormentors." Why? Simply
because we had become her latest scamming endeavor, in which
she was trying to force
us into to paying her to go away.
Needing a platform for her rhetoric, being willing to consume the leniency of the
court, and well-knowing that no actual attorney would
ever involve themselves with this sort of frivolous and irresponsible
behavior, on a borrowed dime Dolen simply marched into court and filed her
nonsensical complaint as pro se.
She
then
openly held it over our heads that she would ruin our
reputations with her lies as she continued with her [pro se]
lawsuit against us if we did not pay her to go away.
In
the end, Deborah Dolen obviously could not and did not
(according to the Federal Judge) provide a scintilla of
proof or evidence to substantiate ANY
of her outrageous claims. The only evidence this
lying
scammer
provided was that
it was her own conduct that fell under the definition
of being a stalker and a bully - and in reality, just like a
textbook case of false victimization,
everything she falsely claimed we were doing to her was exactly
what she was doing to us. Here's the ugly truth about her
attempted strong-arming game via a pro se lawsuit, her fictional
claims, her delusions, her lies, and her motive.
January
2009:
In late 2008, on a Topix forum where
Deborah Dolen had been boasting and self proclaiming herself
to be a "famous
author," forum participants Googled her name and discovered her
criminal history. They then ousted her on that forum as
being a former prostitute and
convicted felon. They posted links to newspaper articles
written about
her, and from there, things apparently got ugly because
Dolen began denying her documented history. One of these posters,
(Arden_1) had
an
IP location as being in the same [very large] city
where my family and I live. At some point in time, Deborah Dolen
and my husband's disturbed ex
Angela Schubart
Ledcke (now married to David A. Niehoff) (now married to Brian D. Bohrer
of Carmel, Indiana
had made contact and became friends. This was most likely because they
had both been listed on a website that featured scammers. The
revenge-seeking ex convinced lawsuit-eager Dolen that my
mother, my husband, and I were the Topix posters, and she
provided Dolen with our names and personal information. She
baited and manipulated Dolen into doing her dirty work of
*revenge
by portraying to Deborah Dolen that we had lots of money.
Prior to anyone in my family even knowing that Deborah Dolen existed, but after Dolen had
briefly researched (stalked) us and our assets (as she has admitted
doing), she and
Ledcke devised
a plan to have my husband and me named in a bogus lawsuit--simply
to try and harass us and to force us into a monetary settlement. For an added act of malice, Angela
Ledcke
Niehoff
Bohrer
also provided
Dolen with my elderly mother's name, and convinced her to
include my elderly mother in
the lawsuit. According to later
statements made by Angela Schubart
Ledcke
Niehoff
Bohrer
(my husband's ex, and Dolen 's
partner in this endeavor), Dolen promised Ledcke that she
would "get them" (us) for her. *The
ex
had lost custody of a 17 1/2 year old daughter to my husband
a few years prior and was even denied any visitation (which clearly speaks for
itself). She had been obsessed with trying to "get even" with us and
constantly attempted to interject herself into our lives
for the purpose of causing
problems. This "lawsuit" endeavor must've seemed perfect for her
ultimate revenge to try and tarnish our names as well as
"punish" us
financially. After all, neither of these women had anything
(including their reputations) and they had nothing to lose.
When convicted felon / paralegal / pro se
plaintiff
Deborah R. Dolen called my [then] 84 year-old mother on the
phone
in mid January of 2009,
she introduced herself and began to explain to my
mother how people were picking on her in some online forum and
calling her ugly names.
She went on to say how she was a famous author (Mabel White)
and how she didn't deserve to be treat in that manner. My mother had no clue who
this woman was or what
she was talking about, so when Dolen began to ask my mother personal questions, my
mother told her that she did not know who she was and that
she was not interested. At this point Deborah Dolen began a
verbal assault and rampage, and she
threatened my 85 year old mother by telling her that
she
had "better be interested" because she was going to be "sued
in Federal Court, lose everything she owned, and be thrown out in the streets."
Soon thereafter, Deborah R. Dolen aka Mabel White did file
her patently false and
baseless lawsuit
against my mother,
my husband, and me, pro se in Federal Court.
Her complaint and
"Federal lawsuit" was nothing more than an narration
deficient of any support, that was based solely on her own
delusions. In fact,
despite the fact that my mother had no internet access,
computer, means or ability to access the internet,
this bogus and fantasy lawsuit named my elderly mother as a "Jane Doe Cyberstalker" and accused
her of cyberstalking, internet
fraud, conspiracy, and even trademark infringement. For
shock value and leverage for what would become a three-year continued
attempt at extorting money from us, Deborah Dolen was also demanding a
five year prison sentence for all of us - including my
elderly mother! (Being pro se, Dolen obviously did not know
that she couldn't make criminal claims against us.) In this game of lawsuit
lottery, Dolen named all of us as "known cyberstalkers" and
was demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages -
falsely identifying us as the posters on Topix and making
all sort of bizarre and irrational claims against us. Her
actions, her claims, and her theories - and even trying to
identify us as these online posters were so ridiculously
insane that they defied any boundaries of sanity! Any!
Although
none of us had never heard of Deborah Dolen or her "author" alias of Mabel
White prior to being targeted and harassed, and
although plaintiff / debtor, Deborah R. Dolen admitted that she has had no
prior business or other dealings with any of us,
obviously thinking she was being cunning, after filing a
nonsensical pro se lawsuit against us where she was demanding close to a
million dollars in damages, and prior to having us
served, Dolen filed for bankruptcy (writing off close to a
million dollars in unsecured bad debt) and listed each of us individually
as creditors (for the amount of $1.00 each). Then, after
she filed for bankruptcy, she served us with the Federal
complaint. Why?
Because, as she boasted, she thought she could sue us and we
would be unable to file an
answer or counter-sue her for her devious actions against us
because she would be under the "protection" of the
bankruptcy court "stay." If we (the
defendants) didn't answer the lawsuit because of being named
creditors, the plaintiff could potentially receive a default
judgment. If we, the defendants, did answer the Federal
complaint, her attempted intent was to
slap sanctions on us in bankruptcy court for violating the
bankruptcy "stay" of protection against creditors - even
though were we NOT creditors at that time. Two courts -
same game, and a lot of fraud.
After
filing her Federal lawsuit, her first demand for money was
immediate, and she said that if we paid her $10,000 she
would drop the lawsuit against us. We refused.
At one point Dolen tried to bargain with us, and said she
would not file for sanctions against us IF we were to pay her
a few thousand dollars. (She actually
made many demands of monetary "solutions" for
dismissing us from her bogus lawsuit.) Her
monetary demands ranged from $2,000 each to $10,000, and
ended up escalating to claimed "damages" of a
whopping $7,000,000.
Dolen, in
her own 2009 bankruptcy affidavit,
swore under penalty of perjury in Bankruptcy court that she only
made (on the average) in the three consecutive years prior
to this latest bankruptcy, $11,000 annually in income from her
claimed "fame."
This filing also reflected that her annual income actually
increased from $10,000 to $13,000, and yet at the
same time she was swearing (under penalty of perjury) in her
complaint against us in Federal Court
that we caused her over $75,000 in lost income from the past
year. (That amount of a $75,000 loss is the ticket to be
able to file a complaint in "Federal" court.) A bold lie from
Dolen? Absolutely! She banks on the court's right hand
never knowing what the left hand is doing. (And
surprisingly, is doesn't!) She was confident that she could exploit the flaws in
our system. (And she did!)
We answered with
counterclaims, and
Dolen immediately threatened
to have us sanctioned, claiming that she was under the
protection of her Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and because of that,
we were not allowed to answer. Not answering, however,
would have guaranteed her a default judgment against us.
(That was just one of her orchestrated games with the
Court.) Eventually, the
bankruptcy Judge informed her that from the date she filed
her bankruptcy she was
not protected from
her actions
against us, but would be liable for those actions. After
reading the case, he further cautioned her against proceeding
with her claims against us, and clearly stated that
the purpose of his court was not to "protect" her from
her actions or the liability resulting from them. What did debtor Dolen hear him say? Well,
somehow, she interpreted and boasted
in many delusional statements and additional filings that 'she won, we lost’
and that the Judge had "barred" our
counterclaims. (Go figure.)
Deborah Dolen went on to make her claims against us public.
She posted false and libelous commentary about us on
websites, in forums, and
self-published press releases. She named us individually as "known cyberstalkers"
and claimed we wanted to
obtain notoriety and some sort of "power" by associating
ourselves with her. As a self-proclaimed maverick, she fabricated claims that we
had "stalked" her,
and that we had other victims, as well. She fabricated allegations
and accusations that we had committed all sorts of internet
fraud, trademark infringement, criminal acts against her -
and more. At one point, she even published online a
self-written fake court order against us so that the
public would conclude that her stories were real.
There was even one incident where
Deborah Dolen, in typical bully modus-operandi, emailed (harassingly) to threaten and
attempt to scare-tactic
us by claiming that the police would be "knocking down" our
doors at 2:00 a.m. in a raid in order to collect our
computers as evidence. It seemed that
whatever had happen to her in her miscreant past, she wished upon us,
and was convinced it was going to happen. (Including jail
time.)
Every claim, every allegation, and in fact, the entire
"Federal lawsuit"
was a wild display of
reckless irresponsibility,
grandiose and
persecutory
delusions, intentional lies, and a vexatious attempt to
libel and disparage us, whereby she could then demand
money from us to stop.
So, why did Deborah Dolen
target us for her lawsuit?
From what I learned about and read from this plaintiff since January of 2009,
I think this came about because of some sort of grandiose/hero complex
she may have. According to my husband's ex,
Angela
Schubart Ledcke,
as mentioned previously, Dolen had contacted and befriended her because they were
both featured on the same online scammer site. Ledcke dangled my
family like a carrot in front of someone who was greedy
enough to forget logic and reasoning, and set her sights on
rolling the dice and
playing a game of pro se lawsuit lottery. There was no
other way on earth for Deborah Dolen to know who we were, know our names,
our emails, and/or
our personal information without the rants of her new friend
and my husband’s
longtime bothersome ex, Angela Schubart
Ledcke
Niehoff
Bohrer. Although Ledcke
eventually confessed to supplying this pro se plaintiff with our names, Dolen's
original claim was that our attorney had “dimed us out” and
that he supplied her with our names and information. The only
little
logistical
problem with that was that
Dolen and Ledcke were
trashing us on an that Topix forum days prior to us knowing
anything about Dolen and even before our we had contact him
as our attorney. At that time he had never heard of us.
Deborah Dolen's bullying wasn't exclusive to us. She threatened our
attorney with a bar complaint if he did not do what she
demanded! She took it to the next level and
actually filed a delusion and fantasy-filled Texas Bar Complaint against
him, stating
under oath that he was the one who initiated her claims
against us by prodding her to sue us. Her next step was to post her "testimony" and this bar complaint on the same website as
the fake court order against us, and then trash-talk, lie
about, and libel our attorney
continuously in public forums - eventually to
the point to where our attorney was forced to file his own
Complaint Against Deborah Dolen
for
torts, injury, assault, libel, and slander.
More about this pro se plaintiff:
Although it has been defined as "stalking" by this
deluded plaintiff, I discovered while trying to figure out
just who this deranged-acting nut was who had targeted and
was suing, harassing, threatening and disparaging my family, that Deborah R. Dolen (aka Deborah Ruth Harvey,
Deborah R. Graves, Deborah R. Avramidis, Deborah Ruth Avamidis),
has an extensive arrest, criminal, and felony
record! According to her
FDLE
Report
and court records in
various Florida
counties alone, this woman has been arrested for everything from
prostitution procurement, solicitation of arson, pandering, forgery,
credit card factoring, probation violation, Rico
violations, money laundering,
racketeering and
grand theft, and much more. Deborah Dolen
was
one of several defendants in a consumer fraud action filed
by the Federal Trade Commission, and the FTC named her as one of the
Top 10
"Dot Con" scams
(
more info).
As Deborah Harvey, she was once even
captured as a fugitive, tried and convicted of racketeering in a
children’s
Spina Bifida charity scam,
and sentenced to a seven year prison term. It appears that
while In prison, this pro se plaintiff obtained a paralegal
certificate (via correspondence classes) and this may be
where her illusions of being an actual attorney began.
(I think this may also be where she learned and practiced
the language she uses to attempt to intimidate others with
her threats and legal-bully-talk, which I personally refer
to as monkey-mouth-cell-gangster talk.
This pro se litigant, as Deborah R. Harvey, had once been
previously determined incompetent to represent herself pro
se in Florida court during an appeals trial after being
found guilty of felony charges.
In one instance, I discovered that
she had tried this bullying 'I’m going to sue you'
tactic before by claiming she had the exclusive trademark
for the term "soy wax." In that instance, she went so far as to pretend
in a letter to be
“legal counsel” (as D. R. Dolen) for Mabel White and another
inexistent "partner" (aka alias) in order to threaten and intimidate candle makers. She
claimed she would haul "violators" into Federal Court
in Tampa if they used the term "soywax," but she offered to sell them
permission to use the term. Now THAT, in my opinion,
is just not normal! Anyway, being a convicted felon, no
wonder she changed her name to Mabel White.
Sounds pure and clean, doesn’t it?
It seems that even "Mabel White" could not live up to honest
standards, and although Dolen claims the name to be “good,”
Mabel White Home Living has received numerous complaints
over the years through the Better Business Bureau and has been the subject of
several online scammer sites, reports, and consumer forums,
and the defendant in at least one small claims lawsuit from
Fed Ex. These
complaints and concerns date back throughout the past half a
dozen years, but Dolen has now claimed that even the
complaints that are from 2002 through 2007 for Mabel White
Home Living (MWHL) have come from me and my family--regardless of the basic fact that we would have had no
motive, had no prior business dealings with her, and didn’t
even know (or care) that she existed until January of 2009 when she began
to harass us! Dolen,
AS "Mabel White" has even posted
rebuttals to many of these aged complaints against her
business of Mabel White Home Living, and although they are
years old she has publicly named and accused my husband,
my 85-year-old mother (who doesn’t own or know how to
use a computer), and me for submitting them. On the site RipOffReport.com,
only moments after she emailed our attorney stating that
whatever is posted on that site never comes down, as a
rebuttal to a complaint from 2007, using her "trade name" of
"Mabel White," Dolen posted all of our names along
with her delusional accusations about us.
Of course
it’s just my opinion, but I would never do business with
someone who demonstrates such unprofessional, unbalanced, and disturbing behavior. But then again,
I have no interest in homemade lotions, potions, perfumes,
candy or coffee flavor oils - and
would never purchased
from a business that was not
licensed, reputable, and/or have FDA approval on their
products. After all, these bathroom-chemist type
businesses can too easily substitute canola oil as cheap
fillers for essential oils, for example.
Why am I being so tacky and
blogging about this?
No, it isn’t like me, but because my family and I have been
inconvenienced for several years by having our names associated with this convicted felon, I am personally sick of
Deborah Dolen's
lies, threats, dogmatic delusional pro se legal attacks,
constant attempts to libel and disparage us, and demands of
money from us. In my opinion, this woman has obviously
caused her own problems because of the poor and dishonest
choices she has made and continues to make in life, and
neither I nor any member of my family has had anything to do
with her, her history, her problems, her scams, or anything
else she may dream up, claim, and sue us for. As
“famous” as she may think she is, she was (and is)
inconsequential to us, as we had never even heard of
her or her claimed trade name of “Mabel White” (an alias
name she has
used freely and directly to libel and harass us) prior
to her unwarranted attack on us.
What was a clear and undisputable fact in our world was that this plaintiff, prior to anyone in my
family having any
idea that she existed, was conspiring against us,
researching our assets, posting libelous content about us
online, and had already gathered our names, address, phone
numbers, personal emails, work emails, and other personal
information, and yet her claim is that we had been "stalking" her!
Deborah Dolen has since continued to harass my family by publishing
our names and address online, posting distasteful and
delusional online comments and outbursts, complete lies,
libel, libel per se, and has even published a self-authored
fake and unsigned court order against us. Again, go
figure.
I am confident that plaintiff
"Deborah R. Dolen aka
author Mabel
White"
must've realized at some point that her fictional claims against us
had no merit whatsoever and were solely based from the
unsupported claims and gossip of her only source, her new
buddy and my husband's ex,
Angela
Ledcke
Niehoff
[now] Bohrer
(who has personally published online that she is
a diagnosed schizophrenic). Whatever delusional
entitlement this person may think she has to be able to pick
someone out of thin air to sue, trash, and harass, and
attempt to extort money from, she needs
to face reality and realize that she made a poor decision
when she attacked my family with her lawsuit lottery game. She
has never known anything about us, and I daresay that if she
had, she would be
surprised to discover just who she choose to target.
I am also convinced that
pride, arrogance, mean-spirited gaming and greed outweighs her ability to recognize reality
and ever admit that she was completely and totally
wrong in the fantasy-filled conclusions, assumptions, and allegations she made against my
family, and in naming us in her ridiculous nonsensical Federal lawsuit.

Follow-up....
July 5,
2010:
Since writing about my experience in the above content on my blog,
bogus
lawsuit filer/pro se plaintiff Deborah R. Dolen aka author
"Mabel White" motioned the Federal Court in the middle
district of Florida for injunctive relief to shut down my
entire blog, and she continued to demand money from us. Although that motion was filled with more lies, complete delusions, and whatever
fantasies filled her head at the time of filing, the motion
was denied. After the Court ordered her to amend her
Federal complaint, she made a few more attempts at making
demands from us, and even though we ignored her, she
eventually dropped my family from her newest amended bogus
Federal complaint.
Aside
from the fact that she often portrays herself as one of the "rich
and famous," sadly, this person, as we have found through
our personal experience, demonstrates a total lack of
connection with reality, and in our opinion is nothing more than
a bully,
a nut, and a delusional wanna-be seeking attention.
October 21, 2010 - Here We Go
Again...
I am always shocked that there are people who simply do not
recognize the consequences of their own actions. Dolen targeting my family in a
vexatious lawsuit brought with it
the consequence of me starting this blog. Because she
brought my name online in order to try and trash and damage me in some way, I
felt I had the right to defend my name from her
delusional rants. In reality, my blog never would've
existed, or at least she never would've been mentioned,
because after all, without the actions she took in targeting
us,
I never would have known who she was! (She's not as "famous" in reality as she
seems to be in her own mind.) It's just that simple, yet something
this person does not seem to comprehend. Instead, she has
continued to blame others for her own actions, and has
thrown a fit in Federal court because I blogged about our experience
of being the target of her latest scam attempt.
To continue the
craziness, this pro se
plaintiff (Deborah Dolen)
then petitioned the court to amend her lawsuit for
the third time to once again add us back into her
"Federal complaint" of concocted allegations - simply as a
temper fit and to try and restrict me from using her name(s)
and journaling on my blog what she has done to us. She
seemed to think that I had no right to use the very names
that she so freely used in her attempts to publicly mock,
disparage, bully, cyberstalk, cyber smear, harass,
threaten, libel, and sue us with in bad
faith. As has been her usual pattern,
she added new completely crazy and concocted theories and fantasy allegations
to her motion to amend. This time, she claimed and
submitted an exhibit
in the case that someone known as
"the water filer lady" would sign a "formal
declaration" against us because this "water filter lady"
person received an
email from someone. (As
you can see from the PDF of this "email" the unknown
sender's name and information had been redacted from this
so-called "exhibit," so anyone could've sent it -
including our plaintiff.)
In our world, we
have never come across someone that could act so outrageously
irrational and crazy, but I have to admit, Deborah Dolen, as "Mabel White,
CEO" did email us (during the phase of her harassment
campaign where she was emailing us threats via our employers)
to warn us that she
"can DO crazy!"
Excerpt from one of her harassing emails to us.
Even after being removed from Dolen's Federal complaint in
June of 2010, in
her attempt to further harass us, in early 2011 Dolen published several
online "articles" that intentionally and falsely stated that
we were still defendants in this case and "going to trial"
as "cyberstalkers." She was also publicly gloating because of having associated
our names with those damaging labels.
With the
exception of one [let's say] "less-than-credible" source, a website owned
by June Maxam,
NorthCountryGazette.org, all other site owners, after
simply reading the irrational and ridiculous article(s), immediately, responsibly, and
respectfully
removed Dolen's bullying libel game from their online
publications. Apparently June Maxam is known for the same
sort of nonsensicality and for imagining herself
to be a "news" correspondent of some sort. When
asked to remove the articles she had published, Maxam,
ignorantly referenced Dolen's
obsolete
complaint that the court had
previously
dismissed (removing us from as defendants from the case),
and insisted that I did "go to
trial" as a defendant! She simply responded that I was "wrong" in
stating that I had not been a defendant at the trail. (Some "reporter" - huh?) (I've discovered that ethics, principles,
and rationality all seem
to run scarce in the world of felons and fruitcakes.) June Maxam, through her webhost, challenged me to sue,
but suing
the insolvent seems like a senseless waste of time.
An Extra Helping of Insanity!
I personally witnessed more insane
conduct in this one
bogus and vexatious lawsuit filed by pro se plaintiff
Deborah R. Dolen than I think I've seen collective from
anyone in my lifetime. Maybe
that's because by choice, I've never had any association
with this type of unscrupulous person before. Some of the
tactics this plaintiff has used has been beyond what anyone with
an ounce of honesty and/or credibility would attempt.
Although she omitted my family from her 2nd amended
complaint and threatened that if we continued with our
counterclaims that she would motion to add us back in, she
actually seemed to believe that she could simply invent claims
against us and act as though we were still included in her
bogus lawsuit. In some crazy attempt to try and intimidate
me, Dolen listed my ex husband on her new witness list and
stated that he would testify "against my character." When
asked about this, my ex said he had never even heard of
Deborah R. Dolen and that he had no intention of making any
statement or testimony against me. Somehow, in her own
little world, she must've theorized that because he was an
"ex" that he would have
something negative to say about me. Dolen actually included
this rambling and delusional theory in one of her pleadings and even
intimated that he'd left me in our marriage. As with all of
her assumptions and claims, It doesn't seem to matter to her
that she has absolutely no idea what she's talking about
because she doesn't know anything about us.
Dolen claimed
throughout the years that this case spanned that we "confused" the Federal
court Judge in Texas, because all orders and decisions
were made in our favor in that Court; that we prejudiced the mediator (and
experienced criminal attorney) against her; that we
"tampered" with the [imaginary] potential jury pool; that I,
personally, "witness tampered" because of my blog; and
even that we "tainted" the Federal Court Magistrate
Judge in Tampa, whom she attempted to have recused; and that
we biased the Federal Court judge in Florida against her
(after she had the case transferred to Florida from Texas). (All that, and yet I can't even get the
postman to stop walking on my lawn!)

Federal Court Orders and Case Decisions in Dolen v. Ryals,
et al:
February 24, 2011 - Deborah Dolen's Lawsuit and
ALL Claims
Against Us Are Dismissed
For the first day in over two years my family and I are no
longer
being sued and harassed in Federal court by pro se plaintiff
Deborah R. Dolen aka "author" Mabel White in a targeted,
nonsensical, and
fictitious lawsuit lottery game. The Federal court ruled on the
pleadings
and ALL of Deborah Dolen's delusional and bogus claims against my family and me were
DISMISSED with prejudice today in our favor and she is now barred from ever making those
claims against us again.
(Predictably, she somehow thought and immediately boasted in
an email to our attorney that this
decision was in her favor.) As the Federal Court order stated about
claim-thrower Deborah R. Dolen's "tortuous action," "enough is enough."
Order of Dismissal
Our counterclaims were dismissed in that case, but were
dismissed without prejudice, allowing us to reassert them in
a separate action when and where we choose. There wouldn't
be much use for this, however, because Dolen is what the
courts commonly refer to as a
"insolvent defendant." Simply put, she
has nothing.
Deborah Dolen's Lawsuit is DISMISSED at Trial by Federal
Judge:
April 21, 2011 - Julie Ryals Receives a Judgment AGAINST Deborah
R. Dolen
and ALL of Dolen's Claims Are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE!
Deborah Dolen's vexatious and nonsensical lawsuit against Julie Ryals came
to trial before the Federal Court in Tampa, Florida, on April 18, 2011. The issues were
set before a jury. On the third day of the trial, after
Deborah Dolen completed her performance as ringmaster for
her own dog and pony show, in response to a verbal motion by Julie
Ryals' attorney, the
Federal Judge made a decision based on the case presented
and immediately dismissed all of Deborah Dolen's
claims against Julie Ryals WITH PREJUDICE. (Meaning
that Dolen cannot bring those claims again.)
The Federal Judge in Tampa told Dolen that she [quote] did not show even the most minuscule
ounce of proof to her claims. Dolen had said in
published media interviews she had created by interviewing
herself that she would not "fall into the sand trap"
of having to provide proof of her unsupported allegations, but would instead
bring in her own witnesses to simply testify "the old
fashioned way." Because Dolen HAD no proof, but had
been bulldozing through this case with only threats,
bullying, and
meritless and unsupported accusations, it was no surprise that this desperate plan was actually put into
play. Dolen introduced the
testimonies of Annette Bartowsheski (aka Annette Lahr),
from Minnesota, and Sheryl
Farley (aka Sherry Lynn Farley) of Bradenton, FL - two
anonymous and scripted "witnesses" that Dolen brought in off
the streets, who were willing to lie and perjure themselves in Federal Court
for her cause. (I have to wonder if they realized while
"testifying" under oath and the penalty of perjury, that the
scripting they received from Dolen was overheard, and that
Dolen had also confided in a "friend" who shared their
plan.) In addition to the scripted "testimony" agenda,
Annette Bartowsheski (Annette Lahr) seemed to think it
worthy to point out to the Federal Judge that she didn't
think it was fair that I hadn't published a negative (ugly) comment
that she submitted to my blog. (Her comment,
by the way, was the ONLY negative/ugly comment I have ever
received, and it was one that fell into the "irrational nutcase" category.) Bartowsheski
(Lahr) also, via her affidavit and testimony, stated
and complained to the Federal Court that my blog was
"too long." I suppose I was unaware that this was a Federal
Court-worthy issue or offense, but like I said, "irrational
nutcase."
"Witness" Sherry Farley, clearly not in her right
mind, was even less rational, and in addition
to her testimony being completely off-the-wall crazy, she told the court that her
deceased mother had spoken to her (by way of a tree falling on her
house), and told her to "help Deborah Dolen."
Despite these witnesses' and ridiculous testimonial scripts and transparent attempts to
manufacture the necessary evidence by inventing it on the stand (aka perjury),
the Federal Judge dismissed their foolery and disciplined Dolen, stating
that she had an "infinitesimal-infinity chance of prevailing in this case."
(Direct quote) When Dolen uttered
a confused "a-wha?" the Federal Judge
clarified by saying that Dolen had “a snowball’s chance in
Hell of prevailing on ANY claims made against Mrs. Ryals.”
(Another direct quote)
He further instructed pro se plaintiff Deborah R. Dolen aka
Mabel White that she is forbidden from
ever bringing any claims she made or could have made against
Julie Ryals in this case in the future in ANY court,
therefore, dismissing ALL claims against Julie Ryals by Deborah Dolen WITH
PREJUDICE!
Pending was Julie
Ryals' counterclaim of cybersquatting for the domain
julieryals.com, which Dolen had originally purchased at the
onset of this "lawsuit" endeavor
to use
as a tool for libeling, name-calling, and attempting to
extort a cash settlement in the case. Dolen had kept this domain
for 26 months, until eventually abandoning the domain
and letting it expire - at which time
julieryals.com was recovered by
Julie Ryals. Because this ($12.00) counter claim was at this
point moot,
it was also dismissed.
The Federal Court's Final Decision in Deborah Dolen's
Vexatious Lawsuit:
"IT
IS
ORDERED AND
ADJUDGED that
Judgment is entered
AGAINST Deborah R. Dolen and
FOR Julie Ryals on ALL
Deborah R. Dolen’s claims."
Despite Deborah Dolen's continued delusions of the outcome
of her fictional lawsuit, the orders of the court speak for
themselves.

Florida
Court Finds that Pro se Litigant Deborah Dolen Engaged in
Vexatious Conduct
[Vexatious conduct, as defined by the court, is
conduct that is an
abuse of the judicial process
and serves merely to harass or maliciously
injure another party to the civil action.]
"...the Plaintiff makes several baseless arguments, cites to
inapplicable case law, and most importantly, does not refute
the Defendants’ allegations concerning her alleged vexatious
litigation tactics. After a review of the procedural history
of this case, it is clear that the Plaintiff engaged in
vexatious and unreasonable conduct that multiplied the
proceedings."

Deborah Dolen Files Affidavit of Indigency to Proceed in
Appeals Court
Even after all of her claims had been dismissed and
unproven, Dolen continues to make her same unsupported
delusions about us in an application to proceed to the
appeals court and have the fees waived. This Affidavit
for Indigency included a
statement that Dolen owed her witness #2, Sheryl
Farley of Bradenton close to $2,000 for "trial expenses."
Was this a payment for Farley's manufactured testimony?
(When Sheryl Farley wasn't paid this amount Dolen promised,
she placed a lien against the title of Deborah Dolen's
vehicle.)
The Final Judgment For Fees
AGAINST
Plaintiff, Deborah R. Dolen
– March 23, 2012
Although it probably goes without saying, the simple fact that
Deborah Dolen remained pro se throughout the history
of this extortion attempt case is another indication of how
baseless and unfounded her claims were and are. If her
claims had held any merit or truth, contingency attorneys
would’ve been lined up to jump on the case. Instead, they
continued to warn her of her liability in pursuing – as did
the various judges involved.
I have to wonder if the plan to "get" us, coaxed by Dolen's
abettor, Angela Schubart Ledcke, was worth it for her. She
has built up such massive hatred toward us because we
refused to be bullied, that I doubt if she has yet to
realize how she was played by Ledcke and/or the [permanent]
impact this entire endeavor has had and will have on her.
I'd be willing to expect that she will never allow herself
to digest the actual reality of her ruin or why we now hold
a
judgment lien against
her.

So, Who Was Arden_1?
(Post-Final Judgment Posting)
Topix poster Arden_1 was actually Suzanne Rossignol, a young
woman from Lake City, Florida. I found this out
early in
the case in 2009 through a
simple method of Googling her Topix screen name that
included her email via her Topix profile, and then doing a search on Facebook using that email. This
was something so simple, and something pro se plaintiff Dolen could have and
should have easily done before suing me in Federal court
because of her lamebrain assumption that I was this Topix poster. It’s called due diligence! This is
one more reason why the attack on my family was calculated,
and nothing short of an act of revenge
instigated by my husband’s ex, and carried out by her greedy, scamming, convicted
felon friend who had nothing to lose, and what she thought
would be everything to gain.
After discovering who Arden_1 actually
was, I called Suzanne to suggest that she stop acting in such a
reckless and irresponsible manner online, and told her that if I was able to
find her real identity and contact information so easily,
that anyone could. At first she was frightened by my call,
but I
told her that it was Dolen’s responsibility to discover who
she was and assured her that I would not personally
volunteer her identity during the case. Her response was
something that I still find to be astounding. She told me
that she comes from “a good family” and that her
actions on Topix would affect that good family’s good
standing if they were to find out how she had been behaving.
(Apparently, my family was somehow perceived to be inferior,
I suppose, so it was okay for me to take the blame for her
words and behavior.) Although Dolen did
eventually discover Arden_1’s true identity during the case,
she was too far into it (and her extortion attempts) to
admit it. Arden_1 being someone else wasn’t part of Dolen
and Ledcke’s plan. Suzanne never came forward, and she let me
take the full consequences and backlash for
her actions. Thankfully, my family's good name
was outstanding enough to bear up.
A NEW Theory!
Yes, in 2012, Deborah Dolen came up with another new theory and
hysterically claimed "proof" of who was behind the online nonsense,
claiming that we were in cahoots with her ex boyfriend (the
one who paid her $30,000 to get out of his life). Apparently,
Deborah Dolen and this man's latest ex had become buds and this ex,
Jennifer Coppock-Beauseigle personally emailed me with a "bait"
question, inquiring if I had any diabetic recipes. (Huh? I'm
not diabetic...) My
response to her was clear and concise in saying that I found it less of a coincidence
that she had contacted me, as I recognized her last name as
being the name on my caller ID when Dolen was using their
ex's cell phone to call and harass us (It's a rare last
name, and one that I remembered.) and I asked her what her
intent was behind the email. My reply was apparently
shared with Dolen by this woman and they
whirl-winded a new theory that this ex of theirs had paid my family
and me to go after Dolen. (I never realized how many
lunatics were lurking out there.)
If nothing else had convinced us
that this Deborah Dolen woman was completely unhinged and a
delusional nutcase, this did the
trick! Being the author of her own narrative, she can pretend all she wants that she is "famous"
and "important" and even that she is now "saved" and a
"Christian." In real life, we've seen nothing but
unprincipled evil from this
woman in every way, and we've experienced the truth. In my opinion, a
person of genuine faith would have humbled themselves
without hesitation and admitted that their intent, abuse,
and intentionally false actions against us were wrong, and a "saved" person
would have, without question, made some effort to
reconcile their wrong-doing and devil-spirited intentions against us. Instead, Deborah Dolen has continued to
lie about her intent, claim we are "demons," ignore
our judgment against her, bash our names, and has
even gone on to various other interpersonal conflicts and
suing others in her quest for monetary
settlement(s).
