While the state case was spiraling into obstruction, I was hit with a crushing blow from the Fourth Circuit. They denied my petition for writ of mandamus in an unpublished, boilerplate opinion that bore no resemblance to what I actually filed or requested. The denial itself was not surprising. I stated directly in my petition…
By September 17 the situation in district court had escalated into something almost surreal. I had already filed a motion for sanctions against Yopp for his pattern of meritless filings and procedural abuse, yet instead of the court addressing the misconduct or even reviewing the filings already pending, the judge refused to rule on the…
After waiting twelve days with no response to my inquiries, I finally called the courthouse myself. That was when a clerk told me that my Motion to Strike had been routed to Judge Walcyzk and that she was holding it. This was a serious problem because the court already knew she was a named defendant…
As if managing the federal cases and the mandamus weren’t enough, I had to shift my attention back to the district court because Attorney David Yopp refused to take any of my warnings seriously. Every move he made at this point was a calculated ploy to force the federal case into dismissal by manufacturing chaos…
After Judge Osteen issued multiple retaliatory orders, it became clear the court was going to keep obstructing my case. I had to rewrite my mandamus and submit it as a supplemental filing, and at the same time I filed a Notice of Obstruction, Retaliation, and Ongoing Harm in both cases to put on the record…
After spending a week straight researching and writing, I filed for petition of writ of mandamus and served it upon Judge Osteen on August 20th, 2025. These are rarely granted but I was left with no other options as the court has been delaying any rulings and avoiding the TRO request. A writ of…

On August 7, 2025, Attorney Mary Scruggs from the North Carolina Department of Justice filed a motion on behalf of Administrative Law Judge Karlene Turrentine seeking an extension of time to respond to my Amended Complaint until September 15, 2025. Before filing, Mary reached out to me and I made it clear that I would…
David Yopp, on behalf of Anna De Santis and De Santis Rentals, filed a motion for entry of default in state court, claiming I never responded to their amended counterclaim from March 14. What he left out is that the filing was made after the 5:00 p.m. electronic service deadline and is therefore deemed served…
I filed three major documents today—my response to David Yopp’s motion to dismiss, a supplemental to my renewed emergency TRO, and a notice of intent to seek mandamus if this Court continues to sit on my pending motions. My TRO supplement lays out new evidence that the North Carolina Court of Appeals has been issuing…
