The more my case moves along in state court, and every time something happens, I have to ask myself, is this real life? Am I living in some kind of water down version of John Grisham novel where the actions being taken are so ridiculous and strange that it goes beyond normal life? Because every…
The day after opposing counsel submitted his misrepresentation-filled response to the Supreme Court, I had no choice but to act. On May 2, I filed three motions—one in the trial court, one in the Court of Appeals, and one in the Supreme Court. Each was necessary for a different reason, but together they told the…
On Monday morning, I appeared promptly at 9:00 AM for the scheduled hearing. There was no movement or acknowledgement for the first 14 minutes—even though the clerk confirmed I was present. That immediately raised concerns. This wasn’t a stacked calendar day—it was just my hearing. I knew the opposing party was physically at the courthouse,…
On March 5, I properly served the Proposed Record on Appeal through the Wake County Superior Court’s Odyssey eFile and eServe system. Under Rule 26(c) and Rule 11(b), that triggered the 10-day clock for objections, making opposing counsel’s deadline April 4. I never heard from him, so on Monday, April 7, around noon, I served…
On March 14, 2025—despite the automatic stay being in effect—opposing counsel filed a new Motion to Dismiss and an Answer with Counterclaims, all while fully aware that jurisdiction had shifted to the Court of Appeals. This was not only improper under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-294, but procedurally abusive.
The motion to dismiss was…
On March 6, I finally heard back from HUD—and they denied my appeal, claiming they didn’t have jurisdiction, which made no sense. I had already clearly explained that they did. This response was not only inappropriate, it felt like a deliberate attempt to avoid responsibility.
I needed to figure out my next steps. I…
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…
Despite the case being under interlocutory appeal and discovery already being implicated in the review, opposing counsel served discovery responses that were riddled with boilerplate objections, irrelevant denials, and evasive answers. Nearly every interrogatory was met with blanket claims of irrelevance, undue burden, or privilege—without a proper privilege log—and in some cases, they objected and…
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…
