I filed three major documents today—my response to David Yopp’s motion to dismiss, a supplemental to my renewed emergency TRO, and a notice of intent to seek mandamus if this Court continues to sit on my pending motions. My TRO supplement lays out new evidence that the North Carolina Court of Appeals has been issuing…
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…
Today was the deadline for defendants to respond to my amended § 1983 complaint. Judicial defendants, through Special Deputy Attorney General Elizabeth O’Brien, asked for 20 more days to respond, citing a change in counsel and the service for Judge Turrentine. This was granted despite violation of the local rule she referenced.
But the…
After my July 17 call and follow up email with the General Assembly’s House Oversight Committee went nowhere, I followed up in writing to every committee member—making it clear I will no longer participate in unscheduled, unrecorded calls. Legislative attorney Wes Jones had already admitted it’s “well known among attorneys” that clerks in the North…
I wrote to Governor Josh Stein demanding to know whether he was aware that clerks at the North Carolina Court of Appeals are issuing orders—including dismissals—under the false pretense of a three-judge panel. This isn’t speculation; legislative staffers admitted to me on July 17 that attorneys and lawmakers know this is happening, yet it’s being…
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,…
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…
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…
On July 8, ALJ Karlene Turrentine issued an order formally denying my Rule 60(b) motion and my motion to strike DOJ’s unauthorized June 12 filing—without citing a single rule, case, or factual correction. She claimed I “failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted,” ignoring every legal argument I raised and failing…
