Hi, NewOrleansgirl2. As the supervisor of the court reporters of North Carolina...and a court reporter by trade...I'm a little embarassed that you are experiencing these problems from a court reporter. It sounds like you got a bad one, which I'm sad to admit does exist out there.
As far as suing the reporter, if he was acting as an agent for the State, that may not be an option. I would only say you should consult an attorney on that.
Good luck to you.
