With discovery being in a couple of days, specifically the interrogatories and documents. Instead of complying, defendants filed a Motion to Extend Discovery.
I filed an objection to the because they failed to provide any specific reason for the extension as required under Rule 6(b) of the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. Their…
Defendants
This was my first formal attempt to correct the growing procedural misconduct in the case, objecting to the defendants’ failure to file an answer and exposing, through emails, that opposing counsel was playing deliberate games with disclosure about new counsel. It was clear even then that they were intentionally creating procedural confusion to delay the…
The January 23 hearing fundamentally shaped everything that followed in my case and the amount of misconduct is too long to list. What should have been a day of progress instead became a shocking demonstration of procedural irregularities. The hearing was scheduled before Chief District Court Judge Eagles, who had sole authority to rule on…
The very next day after I filed my Motion for Default Judgment, Frank submitted a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel — and this also violated procedure. As I noted in a previous filing, Rule 16 requires there to be justifiable cause for an attorney to withdraw from a case. This usually means there’s a serious…
Instead of filing an answer like required, Frank McGraw, in a desperate move, filed a Motion to Strike under Rule 12(f) and tried to claim that doing so automatically extended their time to answer by 20 days — which is factually incorrect. Under the law, filing a Rule 12 motion only extends the deadline if…
Right around the time the defendants' answer was due in district court, the procedural games began. On January 9, Frank emailed me for the first time stating that Anna was looking for new counsel — without explaining why. He claimed she had been searching since December 16, but I didn't take it seriously. If she…
To ring in the New Year, I spent it writing up the Request for Admissions. These are formal statements that the opposing party must admit or deny under oath.
They are used to narrow the issues for trial by establishing certain facts as true ahead of time. If they fail to respond within the…
On Christmas Day (and my favorite holiday), I spent it writing up my request for discovery. I sent the Request for Documents and Interrogatories the next day. These are formal discovery tools used to gather evidence. The Request for Documents asks the opposing party to produce specific records, emails, or other materials related to the…
During the hearing, the respondents’ attorney stated that I filed a complaint with the NCHRC but that no violations were found, even though the investigation was still ongoing. This either violates the Rules of Professional Conduct or shows they had access to information I wasn't given.
I was only given three minutes to cross-examine…
Leading up to my interview with Investigator Ronya Bynum, I submitted all of the requested documentation, organized and labeled by exhibit. I also provided a letter from my therapist and a clinical health evaluation to show how the living situation was impacting my mental health.
Before the interview, I was required to sign a statement…
