On July 15, I finally received an email from the North Carolina General Assembly House Majority Oversight Staff Director, Joe Coletti, and legislative attorney Wes Jones claiming they wanted to hear more about my story.
On July 17, I received a call from Mr. Coletti without notice. In truth, it was not a call to…

On July 10, I drove back to Greensboro in yet another storm just to file motions that should have taken minutes to upload electronically—if I had been granted CM/ECF access. Instead, it took three hours round trip. I filed amended complaints in both of my federal cases. In the § 1983 case, I submitted a 165-page…
I filed a detailed Response in Opposition to Defendants’ Motion for Sanctions in COA 25-521, calling it procedurally defective, legally unsupported, and clearly retaliatory. The filing laid out a broader pattern of misconduct involving both opposing counsel and the North Carolina Court of Appeals, including improper rejections of my filings, unsigned and possibly unauthorized judicial…
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…
On June 13, I filed an Emergency Motion to Compel Rulings and Renewed Motion for Emergency Relief, asking the federal court to finally act on my pending Rule 59(e) motion and Rule 72(a) objection—both of which remain unresolved despite increasing harm and procedural obstruction. The motion also renews my request for emergency injunctive relief under…
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…
June 6 felt like the weight of institutional resistance pressed in on every front. I filed a supplement to my Rule 59(e) motion documenting new evidence that the Eastern District had improperly disclosed my unserved ex parte TRO to outside parties—an action that became clear when it was cited in the OAH’s May 23 Final…
June 5 was another infuriating example of how process is being used to obstruct rather than facilitate justice. Magistrate Judge Auld denied every pending motion I had filed: my urgent request to strike his prior orders, my motion for alternative service, and both the CM/ECF and recusal motions—despite the fact that the docket had shown…
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 30, I formally resubmitted my Record on Appeal along with a detailed Notice of Objection, after it had been improperly rejected twice—without any judicial order—despite full compliance with Rule 11(b) because Judge Osteen failed to rule on the 59(e) motion.
My resubmission wasn’t just about compliance—it was about preserving my appellate rights and…
