A New Jersey woman has filed a federal lawsuit alleging a series of severe civil rights violations, including theft and discrimination, by multiple defendants, including local law enforcement and legal entities. The complaint was filed by Dr. Ifeoma Ezekwo in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on November 11, 2025, against Anthony Cureton, among others.
Dr. Ifeoma Ezekwo claims that her civil rights were violated through actions she describes as malicious and discriminatory. According to the lawsuit, these actions include warrantless searches and seizures at her home, theft of $50,000 in cash, wrongful foreclosure proceedings without proper notice, and destruction of personal property accumulated over 40 years. Dr. Ezekwo alleges that these actions were carried out under the guise of legal authority but were instead part of a broader conspiracy to deprive her of her property and rights. She asserts that the defendants acted with “intentional malice” and engaged in racial and gender discrimination. Furthermore, she accuses them of violating numerous laws including Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, various amendments to the U.S. Constitution, and the RICO Act.
The plaintiff seeks significant relief from the court, demanding both monetary compensation and injunctive relief. Specifically, Dr. Ezekwo is asking for $30 million in damages for her losses and suffering due to what she describes as an orchestrated campaign against her by Sheriff Anthony Cureton and his associates. She also demands immediate restoration of her property or equivalent compensation within 72 hours as well as a thorough investigation into the alleged misconduct by law enforcement officials involved.
Representing herself pro se in this case, Dr. Ezekwo’s complaint outlines detailed accusations against multiple parties including attorneys Christina Livorsi and Bryan Lindsay associated with US Bank Trust; Sean O’Donnell from Eviction Enterprises; Extra Space Storage; Robertson Anschutz Schneid Crane & Partners PLLC Law Firm; US Bank Trust National Association; Fay Servicing; Day Pitney Law Firm; along with several unnamed John and Jane Does who are believed to have been involved in this alleged conspiracy.
The case is being overseen by Judge Renée Marie Bumb with Magistrate Judge Sharon A. King assisting on procedural matters under Case ID 1:25-cv-17386-RMB-SAK.
