Executive Summary
Plaintiffs James C. “Chris” McNeil and Meaghan Poyer filed this pre-hearing notice and request in their Charleston County Common Pleas action against SAC 181, Meridian Residential Group, the Bayles defendants, and MRG Investing. They assert that delays, unequal treatment of pro se litigants, unresolved ADA requests, and alleged obstruction have impaired their access to the court and created safety and asset-preservation risks before the May 28, 2026 hearing. They ask the court to grant ADA accommodations, allow their Second Amended Complaint, enter Rule 36 admissions where appropriate, issue a TRO restricting transfers by allegedly Altman-controlled entities, and order a forensic audit. They also seek to reorganize the May 28 motion roster, keep Judge Will Wheeler assigned through trial, and refer alleged fraud, obstruction, harassment, and attorney-disciplinary issues to state and federal investigative agencies.
Legal Significance
Plaintiffs seek extensive pre-hearing intervention before the May 28, 2026 hearing, including ADA accommodations, leave to file a Second Amended Complaint, Rule 36 deemed admissions, and reorganization of the motion roster. The filing puts at issue alleged unequal treatment of pro se litigants, procedural delay, judicial impartiality, and the requested continuation of Judge Wheeler’s assignment while the South Carolina Supreme Court reviews related mandamus issues. It also seeks an immediate TRO, asset-preservation measures, expedited forensic discovery, and a court-ordered forensic audit covering Altman-controlled entities based on asserted risk of asset transfers that could impair judgment collection. Finally, it asks the court to refer alleged forgery, fraud, obstruction, harassment, and professional-conduct issues to state and federal investigative, regulatory, and disciplinary authorities; none of these allegations or requested remedies is established unless the court grants relief.
