Don’t Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth

On July 8, ALJ Karlene Turrentine issued an order formally denying my Rule 60(b) motion and my motion to strike DOJ’s unauthorized June 12 filing—without citing a single rule, case, or factual correction. She claimed I “failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted,” ignoring every legal argument I raised and failing…

Friends Over Federal Law

After Judge Osteen denied my Rule 72(a) objection on July 7, I filed a Rule 59(e) Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment, documenting not only manifest legal errors but also selective enforcement of local rules, disregard for due process, and deeper concerns about institutional integrity. The judge upheld every single one of Magistrate Auld’s rulings—including…

Motion to Manipulate

On July 3, I filed a Motion to Vacate and for Protective Supervisory Relief after the North Carolina Court of Appeals issued an order on July 1 dismissing my entire appeal and taxing me $364.25 in costs. The order included no legal reasoning, no citation to any rule, and—most importantly—no judicial signature. I believe…

Defendant’s First Filing

While finalizing my response in the Court of Appeals, I also had to address new developments in my federal case. The North Carolina Attorney General formally appeared on behalf of the judges and Clerk Soar and filed a Rule 12(b) motion to dismiss instead of answering the complaint, relying heavily on immunity defenses and abstention…

Out of the Woodwork

On June 17, David Yopp filed a retaliatory and misleading Motion for Sanctions in the North Carolina Court of Appeals, attempting to frame my compliance with Rule 11(b) as sanctionable, despite the trial court’s failure to meet its deadline under Rule 11(c). His motion omitted key facts—like my timely May 7 notice of judicial inaction—and…

Improper Defense

On June 12, DOJ attorney Joseph Finarelli—counsel for the North Carolina Human Relations Commission—filed an unsolicited memorandum opposing my Rule 60(b) motion, not to defend the agency’s conduct but to justify the Tribunal’s legal reasoning. This filing was never ordered and exceeded DOJ’s scope under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 150B-23(a), which authorizes representation of agencies—not…

Financial Retaliation

On June 9, I called the Court of Appeals after not receiving a receipt for a $10 docket fee I paid in person five days earlier—an unnecessary fee in the first place, given I had already paid the full appeal bond. That same day, I was suddenly issued an invoice for $355.25 in printing costs…

Fighting Against a Brick Wall

June 6 felt like the weight of institutional resistance pressed in on every front. I filed a supplement to my Rule 59(e) motion documenting new evidence that the Eastern District had improperly disclosed my unserved ex parte TRO to outside parties—an action that became clear when it was cited in the OAH’s May 23 Final…

Broken Record of Injustice

What happened on May 26 and 27 wasn’t judicial review—it was judicial retaliation wrapped in technicality. In my federal Fair Housing Act case against Anna, Magistrate Judge Auld issued back-to-back rulings that dismissed my renewed motion for electronic filing access and my motion for his recusal. But neither order was grounded in law—they were personal,…

Misinterpretation of Justice

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…
