Executive Summary
James C. McNeil, proceeding pro se with co-plaintiff Meaghan Poyer, filed this supplemental notice to the Ninth Circuit Chief Administrative Judge in their case against SAC 181, LLC, Meridian Residential Group, and related defendants. The plaintiffs assert that defense counsel departures, delayed rulings, and court-staff treatment of their communications have created an “information blackout,” heightened safety risks, and unequal ADA access, including alleged preferential virtual-access accommodations for defense counsel.
They ask the Chief Administrative Judge to restore or promptly reschedule the April 3 hearing, grant leave to file their Second Amended Complaint, shorten the answer period, prioritize their February 24 omnibus motion, require defense firms to confirm their representation status, and provide plaintiffs comparable e-filing and remote-appearance accommodations. The filing attaches correspondence to Charleston’s mayor concerning the plaintiffs’ Housing Justice Audit, alleged property valuation discrepancies, and potential referrals to state law enforcement.
Legal Significance
This supplemental notice puts before the Chief Administrative Judge plaintiffs’ claims that administrative handling of the case has delayed pending motions, denied or failed to address requested ADA accommodations, and treated plaintiffs’ communications differently from defense counsel’s requests for remote access.
It seeks administrative intervention to restore or reschedule the continued April 3 hearing, grant leave for the long-pending Second Amended Complaint, accelerate defendants’ answer deadline, and prioritize plaintiffs’ February 24 omnibus motion. The filing also requests confirmation of defense counsel’s representation status following one attorney’s departure and another attorney’s disqualification request.
It preserves plaintiffs’ assertions of urgent safety risks, alleged defense obstruction, and alleged court-access barriers, but it does not itself adjudicate any claim, grant relief, or establish the alleged facts.
