In a turn of events on August 6th, 2021 Judge Mccallum referred Attorney Decosta's Motion to Recuse to another Judge. JUDGE MICHAEL J. STADING who is a Candidate for the NC Court of Appeals heard the Motion to Recuse and a ruling is currently pending in the matter. NC case law Ponder v. Davis, 233 N.C. 699, 704 (1951) specifically states "If the allegations made about the judge’s bias or other potential disqualification are made with sufficient support to require findings of fact, the motion to recuse should be referred to another judge. Is Judge Mccallum admitting her Bias and Prejudice to Attorney Decosta and her Clients? 

Judge Stading has stated that North Carolina families deserve a judge who will follow the law, protect our freedoms, and uphold our Constitution, this is the time to see if he will stand on those values and beliefs.
