Notice of Interlocutory Appeal

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 what happened at the hearing in state court and the HCHRC still ignoring my request for a swift determination, I sent an email to HUD.

This was my first formal attempt to correct the growing procedural misconduct in the case, objecting to the defendants’ failure to file an answer and exposing, through emails, that opposing counsel was playing deliberate games with disclosure about new counsel. It was clear even then that they were intentionally creating procedural confusion to delay the…

So I wrote to the Director, Jonathan Ekblad, expressing serious concerns about the delay, the lack of formal notice, and the harm the ongoing retaliation was causing me in court.

After raising serious concerns about how my case was being handled, the Mr. Ekblad assured me they "take these complaints seriously" and promised better communication.
