Along with everything collapsing in state court, I was hit with another blow when the Fourth Circuit denied my petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc. The order was one sentence. There was no explanation. There was no acknowledgment of the factual errors I had identified. There was no recognition of the constitutional consequences created…
Civil Dispute
On November 21, while checking the docket, I discovered that Judge Williams had entered an order nearly one month earlier, which was about one month after the September 25 hearing. This order was never served, never emailed, never posted in my eCourts notifications, and never mailed to my address of record. I only learned of…
After the hearing I immediately filed my Notice of Exceeding Authority because the judge’s conduct on September 25 went far outside the limits of judicial power. My notice documented how he ordered supplemental briefing on a motion that was already barred under Rule 12G and Rule 12H and how he ignored the February 17 written…
The September 25 hearing was the biggest waste of my time thus far. Not only should it had not happened, but it was pushed to last in the docket AGAIN and they tried kicking out the witnesses unless they gave their full names, which isn't allowed.
It began with Yopp filing a “corrected” motion…
What happened next was almost impossible to process in real time because of how chaotic and unlawful it was. After filing my emergency motion for disqualification, the court “rejected” it using a form letter that claimed the motion “cannot be addressed as an emergency.” There is no rule, no statute, and no authority anywhere in…
What happened next in the state case was another escalation that showed exactly how far the court was willing to go to block my access. The order on my motion to reconsider was entered on September 18 but it was never served, never emailed, never posted to the eCourts portal, and it did not contain…
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 They denied my petition for writ of mandamus in an unpublished, boilerplate opinion that bore no resemblance to what I actually filed or requested.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…
