Hearing on Review

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,…

Prohibition

After the Court of Appeals denied my Motion to Stay and Writ of Supersedeas, I was frustrated because it didn’t make sense—why wouldn’t they protect my rights? But after doing more research, I learned that this is common when an automatic stay is already in effect under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-294, because the appellate…

Order Required in the Court

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…

Automatically Denied

Honestly, I’m not even sure if I can call this a hearing—it was a complete mess from start to finish. Before the hearing, I had emailed opposing counsel the contract for transcripts of the other hearing as required for my interlocutory appeal and followed up on the notice of appeal. Although he acknowledged receiving…

Motion Hearing Leads to Misconduct & Appeal

This hearing was meant to address my emergency motion and clarify procedural issues caused by defendants' delays and inconsistent court orders. Despite Judge Walczyk being lead civil judge, I was pushed to the end of the docket, repeatedly talked over, and mischaracterized. She blamed me for case delays due to my appeal, ignoring that these…

Motion Hearing = First Interlocutory Order on Appeal

The January 23 hearing fundamentally shaped everything that followed in my case and the amount of misconduct is too long to list. What should have been a day of progress instead became a shocking demonstration of procedural irregularities. The hearing was scheduled before Chief District Court Judge Eagles, who had sole authority to rule on…

Arbitration Hearing

During the hearing, the respondents’ attorney stated that I filed a complaint with the NCHRC but that no violations were found, even though the investigation was still ongoing. This either violates the Rules of Professional Conduct or shows they had access to information I wasn't given. I was only given three minutes to cross-examine…

Small Claims Hearing

Violations: Improper oral motion; hearsay and prior negotiations; potential personal bias. Despite not being the last case called during roll call, the magistrate waited until the courtroom was empty except for two non-English speaking people awaiting a hearing before proceeding with my hearing. Frank McGraw improperly tried to file for dismissal under Rule 15, which…
