…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…

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…

Justice Delayed

On August 7, 2025, Attorney Mary Scruggs from the North Carolina Department of Justice filed a motion on behalf of Administrative Law Judge Karlene Turrentine seeking an extension of time to respond to my Amended Complaint until September 15, 2025. Before filing, Mary reached out to me and I made it clear that I would…

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…

Confronting Attacks, Exposing Misconduct, & Putting the Court on Notice

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…

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…

Defendants’ Responses to Amended Complaint

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…

Complaints Amended x2 & Notice of Harm

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…
