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…
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…
On July 3, I filed a Motion to Vacate and for Protective Supervisory Relief after the North Carolina Court of Appeals issued an order on July 1 dismissing my entire appeal and taxing me $364.25 in costs. The order included no legal reasoning, no citation to any rule, and—most importantly—no judicial signature. I believe…
While finalizing my response in the Court of Appeals, I also had to address new developments in my federal case. The North Carolina Attorney General formally appeared on behalf of the judges and Clerk Soar and filed a Rule 12(b) motion to dismiss instead of answering the complaint, relying heavily on immunity defenses and abstention…
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 24, I submitted two separate formal oversight requests—one at the state level and one at the federal level—each addressing ongoing misconduct in a distinct case.
First, I sent a comprehensive email to the North Carolina House Oversight Committee, House Judiciary 1 Committee, and Senate Judiciary Committee detailing what I believe to be procedural…
On June 17, David Yopp filed a retaliatory and misleading Motion for Sanctions in the North Carolina Court of Appeals, attempting to frame my compliance with Rule 11(b) as sanctionable, despite the trial court’s failure to meet its deadline under Rule 11(c). His motion omitted key facts—like my timely May 7 notice of judicial inaction—and…
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…
On June 9, I called the Court of Appeals after not receiving a receipt for a $10 docket fee I paid in person five days earlier—an unnecessary fee in the first place, given I had already paid the full appeal bond. That same day, I was suddenly issued an invoice for $355.25 in printing costs…
