Motion to Withdraw

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…

Motion to Strike Complaint & Objection

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…

Motion & Objection to Extension of Time

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…

Request for Admissions

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…

Request for Discovery

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…

Arbitration Hearing

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…

NCHRC Interview & Response

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…

Evidence of Defamation

I emailed opposing counsel confirming that I priority-mailed my pre-arbitration submission since electronic exchange wasn’t allowed. I also notified him about new evidence I received from the North Carolina Real Estate Commission showing that Anna had provided false statements in a reference, which supported my claims of retaliation and defamation. I made it clear I…

Final Communication

After the move-out, Anna’s tone completely shifted — she suddenly became polite, even wishing me well. But her actions didn’t match her words. I wrote what I did to her because she needed to understand the real impact her behavior had on my life, and why I don’t believe the "clean break" narrative she tried…
