On March 5, I completed the Proposed Record on Appeal and served it to opposing counsel. For context, the Record on Appeal is a highly structured document that includes every relevant filing, order, and transcript from the trial court, organized in a very specific way so the Court of Appeals can understand the full context…

As I was preparing the record on appeal, I was reminded that the admissions were still unresolved—opposing counsel’s motion for extension of time had never been ruled on. Judge Davidian refused to rule on my motion to strike the extension or deem the admissions admitted. But under Rule 36(a), it didn’t matter—the admissions were already…
After the Court of Appeals denied my Motion to Stay and Writ of Supersedeas, I was frustrated because it didn’t make sense—why wouldn’t they protect my rights? But after doing more research, I learned that this is common when an automatic stay is already in effect under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-294, because the appellate…
After I was told by the court to appear at a Webex hearing on February 14 following the previous day's proceeding, I emailed the trial court administrator to confirm the hearing and explain that I had filed both an Objection to the Improperly Noticed Hearing and a Writ of Supersedeas and Motion to Stay with…
Honestly, I’m not even sure if I can call this a hearing—it was a complete mess from start to finish.
Before the hearing, I had emailed opposing counsel the contract for transcripts of the other hearing as required for my interlocutory appeal and followed up on the notice of appeal. Although he acknowledged receiving…
Twelve days after the NCHRC issued the final determination on the investigation, I finally received it in the mail. They hadn’t updated my mailing address, despite me providing it, which caused the delay. You’ll notice the determination was issued five days after I emailed HUD—stating there were no reasonable grounds for my claim. After reviewing…
After filing a motion to strike the defective extension on admissions, I immediately requested a hearing for that same week so the admissions could be deemed admitted before the February 13 hearing. If granted, that would have effectively resolved the case since the admissions covered every claim. Although the court denied my request for an…
After Mr. McGraw withdrew, he failed to account for the February 3 admissions deadline, forcing the newly retained attorney to step in earlier than expected on January 31. I had previously filed a motion to continue during this timeframe due to being out of town for work, so the timing around substitution wasn’t coincidental.
Under…
This hearing was meant to address my emergency motion and clarify procedural issues caused by defendants' delays and inconsistent court orders. Despite Judge Walczyk being lead civil judge, I was pushed to the end of the docket, repeatedly talked over, and mischaracterized. She blamed me for case delays due to my appeal, ignoring that these…
On January 27, 2025, I filed an Emergency Motion to address the procedural disorder created by the defendants’ overlapping filings, failure to respond to discovery, and repeated violations of court rules.
With less than 30 days left before trial, the court had granted orders—like the extension to answer and the continuance of my Motion…
