…It Does

What happened next was almost impossible to process in real time because of how chaotic and unlawful it was. After filing my emergency motion for disqualification, the court “rejected” it using a form letter that claimed the motion “cannot be addressed as an emergency.” There is no rule, no statute, and no authority anywhere in…

In Case You Didn’t Think It Could Get Worse…

What happened next in the state case was another escalation that showed exactly how far the court was willing to go to block my access. The order on my motion to reconsider was entered on September 18 but it was never served, never emailed, never posted to the eCourts portal, and it did not contain…

WTF – Seriously WTF

By September 17 the situation in district court had escalated into something almost surreal. I had already filed a motion for sanctions against Yopp for his pattern of meritless filings and procedural abuse, yet instead of the court addressing the misconduct or even reviewing the filings already pending, the judge refused to rule on the…

Two Wrongs Don’t Make Any Rights

After waiting twelve days with no response to my inquiries, I finally called the courthouse myself. That was when a clerk told me that my Motion to Strike had been routed to Judge Walcyzk and that she was holding it. This was a serious problem because the court already knew she was a named defendant…

Oh, the Games He Plays

As if managing the federal cases and the mandamus weren’t enough, I had to shift my attention back to the district court because Attorney David Yopp refused to take any of my warnings seriously. Every move he made at this point was a calculated ploy to force the federal case into dismissal by manufacturing chaos…

Defaulting to Misconduct

David Yopp, on behalf of Anna De Santis and De Santis Rentals, filed a motion for entry of default in state court, claiming I never responded to their amended counterclaim from March 14. What he left out is that the filing was made after the 5:00 p.m. electronic service deadline and is therefore deemed served…

Foreign Evasion

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…

Split the Difference

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,…

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…

Don’t Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth

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…
