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…
Attorney Misconduct Alleged
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…
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…
On June 17, David Yopp filed a retaliatory and misleading Motion for Sanctions in the North Carolina Court of Appeals, attempting to frame my compliance with Rule 11(b) as sanctionable, despite the trial court’s failure to meet its deadline under Rule 11(c). His motion omitted key facts—like my timely May 7 notice of judicial inaction—and…
On June 12, DOJ attorney Joseph Finarelli—counsel for the North Carolina Human Relations Commission—filed an unsolicited memorandum opposing my Rule 60(b) motion, not to defend the agency’s conduct but to justify the Tribunal’s legal reasoning. This filing was never ordered and exceeded DOJ’s scope under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 150B-23(a), which authorizes representation of agencies—not…
May 12 felt like a coordinated ambush. I had just finalized and served my Record on Appeal, filed a Motion to Identify the judicial panel behind recent appellate rulings, and submitted a formal Notice objecting to the record’s prior rejection—all actions taken in good faith to preserve my appellate rights and expose procedural manipulation. But…
On May 9, still determined to obtain the judges’ names responsible for ruling on these motions, I followed up with another call to the Clerk of the Appellate Court. But this time, the experience was different. I spoke directly with Eugene Soar—the same person who previously sent the anonymous email referencing a “90-day delay” policy.…
The more my case moves along in state court, and every time something happens, I have to ask myself, is this real life? Am I living in some kind of water down version of John Grisham novel where the actions being taken are so ridiculous and strange that it goes beyond normal life? Because every…
On Monday morning, I appeared promptly at 9:00 AM for the scheduled hearing. There was no movement or acknowledgement for the first 14 minutes—even though the clerk confirmed I was present. That immediately raised concerns. This wasn’t a stacked calendar day—it was just my hearing. I knew the opposing party was physically at the courthouse,…
The reason I’ve laid out this entire timeline is so you can see the sheer volume of misconduct I’ve had to navigate—while learning the law, keeping my filings in compliance, working full-time, taking care of two dogs, and constantly trying to stay one step ahead of people who have far more power and institutional support…
