RESPONDENfS RESPONSE TO AU'S ORDER OF MAY 23. 2016 AI'JD COMPLAINANT'S RESPONSE 

In response to the AU's Order of May 23, 2016, and also to Complainant's response: 

With Respect to the Court. In regard to the email dated November 25, 2015, from 

Complainant. Mr. Shayne is distorting the conversation again. 

He had called while I was driving. !Informed him that I was driving and that 1 could not 

discuss the negotiations at that time. Mr. Shayne is, again, in this document, using fantasizing 

language and events that never took place on my part. He again Is using conclusions and false 

accusations on his part as to my unwillingness to cooperate in a pleaillng tol\is aavam"'a~ge;=. ======::. __ ----

Then Mr. Shayne Informed me by email he would be out of the office for vacation for at 

least two weeks and would not be available. I also advised him I would be out of office as well 

after he had returned.

After his return, I, in turn, was traveling and 1 too informed him I would be out of office. 

I serve on a committee in Washington, DC, thus, my travels keep me quite busy. Mr. Shayne 

seems to think I am to agree with his rendition of this case. I do not. His conclusions I do not 

agree with or admit to in anyway. Mr. Shayne has continually hid documents sent to him that 

would have defused this situation. His behavior Is very disturbing on these things. 

In conclusion, I cannot seek a settlement or admit any fault since there Is no fault. 

My documents were shared with Mr. Shayne. No correspondence was sent to indicate 

receipt of the documents by Mr. Shayne sent to him. It appe;ns that the FAA Legal Department 

has been obstructing communication. 

We sent information; It was never enough and they never acknowledged what we sent. 

Finally, I complained to FSDO. 

Possibly, your Honor, you may have seen this sort of thing before, It was not until we 

wrote a letter of complaint to FSDO that we received a visit at my office from two very pleasant 

inspectors ofthe FAA. We showed them all that we had batk to the beginning of time even to 

the inception of the aircraft development. They were satisfied with their findings. Even then, 

Mr. Shayne Ignored the findings and we had to press him as to an email he should have received 

from that office. 1 find, In my opinion, that Mr. Shayne has conducted himself in an unethical 

way. The FAA Email said and had found that the Logs were in Order I The FAA counc.il has in my 

mind Ignored it! 

So therefore, I am asking that your honor dismiss this case with prejudice.
