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 reason I’ve laid out this entire timeline is so you can see the sheer volume of misconduct I’ve had to navigate—while learning the law, keeping my filings in compliance, working full-time, taking care of two dogs, and constantly trying to stay one step ahead of people who have far more power and institutional support…
On the same day I filed my federal complaint, I received an email from Mr. Yopp stating that he intended to file a motion to continue the trial and asking what date I preferred. I responded by reiterating that under the automatic stay, it wasn’t my responsibility to propose dates—it was the court’s obligation to…
After Mr. McGraw withdrew, he failed to account for the February 3 admissions deadline, forcing the newly retained attorney to step in earlier than expected on January 31. I had previously filed a motion to continue during this timeframe due to being out of town for work, so the timing around substitution wasn’t coincidental.

On January 30, 2025, Chief District Court Judge Eagles denied my motion to have the case designated as an exceptional civil case under Rule 2.1, stating that the claims weren’t complex and there weren’t enough parties to warrant the designation—even though this was the very same case where defendants were allowed to delay proceedings to…

Frank decided to file another motion to continue on only my motions, but of course want to move forward with his. This is what the cover sheet looks like when you correctly file with it, but unfortunately the motion was procedurally flawed, lacked good cause under Rule 6(b), and failed to explain the…
With discovery being in a couple of days, specifically the interrogatories and documents. Instead of complying, defendants filed a Motion to Extend Discovery.
I filed an objection to the because they failed to provide any specific reason for the extension as required under Rule 6(b) of the North Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure. Their…
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…
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…
