Stare Non-Decisis

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…

The Cycle Continues

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 They denied my petition for writ of mandamus in an unpublished, boilerplate opinion that bore no resemblance to what I actually filed or requested.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…

Notice of Obstruction & Supplemental Mandamus

After Judge Osteen issued multiple retaliatory orders, it became clear the court was going to keep obstructing my case. I had to rewrite my mandamus and submit it as a supplemental filing, and at the same time I filed a Notice of Obstruction, Retaliation, and Ongoing Harm in both cases to put on the record…

Orders of Retaliation

After spending a week straight researching and writing, I filed for petition of writ of mandamus and served it upon Judge Osteen on August 20th, 2025. These are rarely granted but I was left with no other options as the court has been delaying any rulings and avoiding the TRO request. A writ of…

Foreign Evasion

When I filed my amended complaint in my § 1983 claim, I added Anna De Santis after David Yopp’s Court of Appeals sanctions motion confirmed a premeditated plan he had threatened back in February—a plan Anna was clearly aware of. For more than two months, the Durham County Sheriff tried to serve her at the…

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…

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…

Adding to the Bias Pile

On April 28, Magistrate Judge Patrick Auld denied my request for electronic filing, stating I had to first prove I could follow basic court procedures—despite my extensive experience litigating in electronic systems and my documented disabilities. TEXT ORDER denying without prejudice 4 Motion for Authorization to File Electronically. Electonic filing requires compliance with numerous rules and procedures.…
