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…

I decided to provide one more chance for ALJ Turrentine to correct her ruling as it wasn't untimely, didn't require a trial, and wasn't a second motion for reconsideration.
I also informed her that her ruling is being used as evidence in pending 1983 claim and will be added as a party if she…
On June 5, AL Judge Turrentine immediately denied my Rule 59(e) motion challenging the May 23 final decision, which I filed to correct legal and factual errors, retaliatory framing, and improper judicial notice of unrelated litigation—including an unserved federal complaint that raised serious due process and surveillance concerns. The denial falsely claimed the motion was…
On May 23, Administrative Law Judge Karlene Turrentine of the NC Office of Administrative Hearings issued an order that didn’t just deny my contested case—it weaponized my other case in an attempt to discredit me entirely. The ruling wasn't grounded in facts, legal precedent, or the specific procedural violations I raised. It read more like…
Today, I filed a Motion to Compel Entry of Order before the NC Office of Administrative Hearings, requesting a prompt ruling on my pending Motion for Summary Judgment (filed April 15, 2025). Under state law and OAH rules, the motion should have been decided without a hearing, yet no action has been taken—despite prior motions…
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…
On April 10, 2025, after I was forced to file a notice of delay ruling on my motion after a week of stalling. The Tribunal issued an order denying my Motion for Reconsideration, but the order itself was riddled with misstatements, selective reasoning, and improper framing. It claimed my motion didn't cite the proper rule,…
DOJ filed their formal Response in Opposition to my Motion to Disqualify on April 1, 2025. That filing deliberately misrepresented both my position and the legal conflict I raised. The DOJ claimed Rule 1.7 didn’t apply because I wasn’t their client, completely ignoring that my argument was about an institutional conflict of interest—namely, that they…
According to the rules for contested case petitions, a judge should be assigned within five days of filing, but ten days later I still hadn’t heard anything. When I went to check the status, I discovered that the Office of Administrative Hearings had an eFiling system, so I registered. That’s when I saw that my…
On March 6, I finally heard back from HUD—and they denied my appeal, claiming they didn’t have jurisdiction, which made no sense. I had already clearly explained that they did. This response was not only inappropriate, it felt like a deliberate attempt to avoid responsibility.
I needed to figure out my next steps. I…
