CAROLINA SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION

ILE NO.: 22CVkS2038
WAKE COUNTY

THE NORTH CAROLINA STATE BAR,

Petitioner,

JULIA OLSON-BOSEMAN, Attorney, MOTION FOR ORDER

TO SHOW CAUSE
_Responclent.
(AOC-CV-752 SHOW;CNTP)

25 P l : hu
Petitioner, the North Carolina State Bar (the "State Bar"), pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat.
5A-11, 5A-13, and 5A-15, respectfully moves the Court for an order requiring Respondent, Julia
Olson-Boseman, to appear and show cause why she should not be held in criminal contempt for
violating a lawful order of this Court in the form of an Order of Preliminary Injunction. In support
of its motion, the State Bar shows the Court the following:

1. On March 14, 2022, this Court entered an Order of Preliminaty Injunction ("Order")
in this action.

2. In the Order, the Court found that Respondent misapplied entrusted funds and made
material misrepresentations to the State Bar regarding the same. See Order, Conclusion of Law
112.

3. Due to Respondent's actions, one part of the Order prohibited Respondent from
handling entrusted client funds. See Order, Decretal Ill.

4. Another part of the Order required Respondent to produce financial information to

the State Bar concerning her client files, trust accounts, and other bank accounts. See Order,
Decretal "12-6.

5. The Order required Respondent to produce certain categories of this information

 6. For the remaining categories of information, the Order imposed several production
deadlines on Respondent, all of which were within 14 days from entry of the order or within 3 days
of a request from the State Bar. See Order, Decretal Iff3-5.

7. Respondent did not produce any of the information to the State Bar that the Order
required her to immediately produce.

8. ()n March 25, the State Bar sent Respondent correspondence via certified mail,
return receipt requested, to her address of record both in this action and with the State Bar's
membership department— 914 Tarpon Drive, Wilmington, NC 28409. A true and accurate copy
of the March 25 correspondence is attached here as Exhibit A, and is incorporated by reference.

9. That same day, the State Bar also sent the March 25 correspondence to Respondent
via e-mail to an address at which the State Bar has successfully communicated with Respondent
about this matter.

10. The March 25 correspondence notified Respondent of her failure to comply with
the immediate production requirements of the Order.

11. It also listed nine categories of information that the Order had directed Respondent
to provide to the State Bar, and it requested that she produce this information immediately.

12. On or about March 28, the State Bar received a notification from the United States
Postal Service that a notice to retrieve the March 25 correspondence from the postal office was left
at Respondent's property. Respondent never retrieved the March 25 correspondence from the post
office.

13. Accordingly, on April 4, the State Bar sent an additional courtesy copy of the March
25 request to Respondent via U.S. mail, first-class and postage paid, to Respondent's address of
record, so that the correspondence would be left with Respondent without further need to retrieve
it. A true and accurate copy of the April 4 correspondence is attached here as Exhibit B and is
incorporated by reference.

14. On April 19, having received no response or information from Respondent, the State
Bar sent Respondent a follow-up request via e-mail and via U.S. mail, first-class and postage paid,
to Respondent's address of record. A true and accurate copy of the April 19 request is attached here
as Exhibit C and is incorporated by reference.

15. The April 19 request reiterated the State Bar's request for the nine categories of
information that the Order commanded Respondent to provide.

2
 16. It also notified Respondent that the State Bar was attempting to avoid filing a motion
for a show cause order, but that the State Bar intended to proceed with the motion if it did not
receive a complete response with all of the demanded information by May 10.

17. On May 20, in a final effort to avoid the instant motion, counsel for the State Bar
sent an e-mail to Respondent, notifying her that the State Bar would file this motion if she did not
provide a complete response before the close of business on May 24. The State Bar also sent a
copy of the same correspondence to Respondent via U.S. mail, first-class and postage paid, to her
address of record that same day. A true an accurate copy of the May 20 correspondence is attached
here as Exhibit D and is incorporated by reference.

18. To date, Respondent has not provided the State Bar with any of the information that
the Order required her to produce, and all of her deadlines to do so have long passed.

19. Similarly, Respondent has not communicated with the State Bar in any way
regarding its numerous demands for the required information.

20. Respondent's failure to produce the information was in violation of the Order.

21. Respondent has actual knowledge of the Order, as she has given public interviews
to local media about the Order. See NflC Commission Chair Mismanaged and Lied About Client
Funds, state Bar Alleges, WECT News 6, March 16, 2022 [attached here as Exhibit E] . 1

22. Respondent willfully disobeyed the Order by ignoring her automatic obligations
imposed by the order, as well as the State Bar's numerous efforts to obtain the information to which
the Order entitles it without filing the instant motion.

23. Willful disobedience of a court order is grounds for criminal contempt pursuant to
N.C. Gen. Stat.

24. Criminal contempt proceedings in this case are properly held in Superior Court,
which issued the Order, pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. 5A-15(b).

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully moves the Court to enter an order directing

Respondent, Julia Olson-Boseman, to appear and show cause why she should not be held in
criminal contempt.

Respectfully submitted May 25, 2022.

NHC Commission chair mismanaged and lied about client

WECT

Toasty 70s likely for the rest of the workweek

The only thing the State Bar can do is strip her of her law license; again, a seemingly moot point for Olson-Bosenlan.

By WECT staff
Published: Man 76, 2022 at 4:48 PM EDT

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) A Wake County court granted the North Carolina State Bar's petition for a preliminary injunction against New Hanover
County Chairwoman Julia Olson-Boseman on Monday.

According to the Order of Preliminary Injunction, Olson*Boseman, an attorney, "mismanaged entrusted funds and discovered approximately $9,000 (at
least) in entrusted funds for which she could not determine the beneficial owners while winding down her practice between January and November
2021."

According to Boseman, this is not related to a preyiousompJaincagajnst-her-fi-led-by-aiQr„merÄjenX-Gary-Holyfield.

The order states that Olson-Boseman is accused of distributing those funds to her personal accounts and made U material misrepresentations to the State
Bar" on Nov. 30, 2021* regarding her handling of the funds.

5/25/22, 9:43 AM NHC Commission chair mismanaged and lied about client funds, Bar alleges
Olson-Boseman sent a check for what is said to be the remainder of the funds to the Wake County Clerk of Superior Court. A handwritten letter with the
check invited the Clerk of Court to disburse the money.

Olson-Boseman told WECT on Wednesday that this situation is nothing but a witch hunt by Robert Weston, who is one of the attorneys at the State Bar.
She says she stopped practicing law nearly two years ago and that she didn't do anything wrong.

"l asked him numerous times to stop contacting me," she said. "Robert Weston kept contacting me anyway, because I guess the Bar is above any other
law, and he kept contacting me back. And he tried to bully me into signing a consent order into something I didn't do.
"So he wanted me to sign this just to make it all go away because he had to file this to protect the world from an attorney who hasn't practiced since
2020," said Olson-Boseman. "It's ridiculous it's a witch hunt, and I'm embarrassed for the profession that I used to have so much respect for," she said.

When asked about the complaint and what it means, Olson-Boseman told WECT it really won't have any significant impacts on what she is already
doing, since she has retired from law.

"It doesn't want me to receive or disperse client funds, I'm like, well that makes — like I haven't practiced law for like a year now. It's so ridiculous; am
so tired of being harassed by this guy. My attorneys called him, [they] were like, 'she's not practicing law'. He doesn't believe me. I'm not practicing law,
still not practicing, still not practicing. It's like fighting for custody over a dead child," she said.

And in terms of possible consequences, the only thing the State Bar can do is strip her of her law license, again, a seemingly moot point for
OlsonBoseman.

"The only thing the bar can do is take my law license, that's it. I'm not practicing. You can have it, but they won't let me go inactive because there's a
complaint. I'm like, okay, so basically you're forcing me to be an attorney, you're trying to force me to practice law and go by your rules when I said I'm
done. I quit, I'm not doing this anymore," she said.

'l believe in the judicial process and everyone is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. But no one is above the law. No one," said State Rep. Deb
Butler about the situation involving Olson-Boseman,

WECT reached out to Olson-Boseman*s fellow New Hanover County commissioners who all declined to comment at this time. A representative with
the New Hanover County Democratic Party said the party is working to gather more details before making a comment.
