Split the Difference

Judge Osteen denied my motion for a 30-day extension to serve Anna and De Santis Rentals—but then ordered exactly what I’d asked for anyway. He claimed my exhibits didn’t prove I’d tried to serve both defendants, even though I’ve documented multiple good-faith attempts, including sheriff’s returns and certified mail. Instead of outright granting the motion,…

Federal Administrative Oversight Complaint

I filed a formal administrative oversight complaint with the judiciary, following up on my earlier filing with Chief Judge Eagles that was dismissed without addressing the substance. This isn’t about asking the court to rule in my favor—it’s about holding the Middle District accountable for systemic administrative abuse that’s disproportionately harming pro se litigants and…

NC General Lies

On July 15, I finally received an email from the North Carolina General Assembly House Majority Oversight Staff Director, Joe Coletti, and legislative attorney Wes Jones claiming they wanted to hear more about my story. On July 17, I received a call from Mr. Coletti without notice. In truth, it was not a call to…

Complaints Amended x2 & Notice of Harm

On July 10, I drove back to Greensboro in yet another storm just to file motions that should have taken minutes to upload electronically—if I had been granted CM/ECF access. Instead, it took three hours round trip. I filed amended complaints in both of my federal cases. In the § 1983 case, I submitted a 165-page…

Don’t Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth

On July 8, ALJ Karlene Turrentine issued an order formally denying my Rule 60(b) motion and my motion to strike DOJ’s unauthorized June 12 filing—without citing a single rule, case, or factual correction. She claimed I “failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted,” ignoring every legal argument I raised and failing…

Friends Over Federal Law

After Judge Osteen denied my Rule 72(a) objection on July 7, I filed a Rule 59(e) Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment, documenting not only manifest legal errors but also selective enforcement of local rules, disregard for due process, and deeper concerns about institutional integrity. The judge upheld every single one of Magistrate Auld’s rulings—including…

Motion to Manipulate

On July 3, I filed a Motion to Vacate and for Protective Supervisory Relief after the North Carolina Court of Appeals issued an order on July 1 dismissing my entire appeal and taxing me $364.25 in costs. The order included no legal reasoning, no citation to any rule, and—most importantly—no judicial signature. I believe…

Defendant’s First Filing

While finalizing my response in the Court of Appeals, I also had to address new developments in my federal case. The North Carolina Attorney General formally appeared on behalf of the judges and Clerk Soar and filed a Rule 12(b) motion to dismiss instead of answering the complaint, relying heavily on immunity defenses and abstention…

I filed a detailed Response in Opposition to Defendants’ Motion for Sanctions in COA 25-521, calling it procedurally defective, legally unsupported, and clearly retaliatory. The filing laid out a broader pattern of misconduct involving both opposing counsel and the North Carolina Court of Appeals, including improper rejections of my filings, unsigned and possibly unauthorized judicial…
