Wed, Sep 10 at 2:59 PMDear Judge Powers:Pllease find attached: Court date Scheduled Sept 17, 2025 at 10:30am.NOTICE OF JUDGE SHAPIRO HAVING A HEARING SEPT 5, 2025 ON THE 9:30AM CALL, (STATE OF ILLINOIS AFFIDAVIT PROPERLY NOTARIZED) AS ASA BUCHANAN TESTIFIED THAT ILLINOIS DEPT. HEALTHCARE FAMILY SERVICES FORMERLY KNOWN AS DEPT OF PUBLIC AID WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THIS CHILD SUPPORT MATTERIt appears this is an "Organized Sophisticated Extortion Ring" where certain alleged judges and Assistant States Attorneys are recruited using a state agency "Child Support" to come after innocent men like myself.The FBI has received and allegedly intercepted all types of information relating to this matter including a Complaint levied on a Circuit judge.Judge Forti has become so brazen he signed a court order May 9, 2025 for a child support order for children Tycee Hightower.Cook County Courts is not a place for innocent Black or Brown men or women or senior citizens this case demonstrates the type of Racism, sexual discrimination if you are a Heterosexual on what judges and Assistant States Attorneys or other fraternities are willing to do in "LYNCHING WITH UNLAWFUL APPLICATIONS OF THE LAWS" as every Democrat closes their eyes to these egregious acts because of our Independent mindset.A Jewish Judge and some Jewish Brothers attorneys told me no Bros or Black judges will ever rule in your favor for anything, they have to do what they are told and that no Irish or Polish judges will ever rule in your favor they stick to their kind and hate the Hell out of a intellectual man like you but their are some good white judges who will speak up and follow the laws and rule in your favor.In defense to an Irishman my grandmother wrote to the father Richard J. Daley a big rat bit the toe of my Auntie when she lived on the South Side he responded and placed her in Cabrini Greens.My Mom wrote to the same Richard J. Daley after my mom had me and was having housing issues and he had my mom placed 2222 S. State.Not realizing the history of the Daleys as the States Attorney Obrietta Scott a Nigerian ASA interviewed me behind my attorneys back Robert A. Egan and told me that Tycee was not my child they had the evidence of the paternity tests being altered at both medical labs, she told me never tell my attorney we had the conversation, I never told him anything.The son Daley Dismissed the Paternity Suit Sept. 17, 1987. 85 D 068184 the only case where the Cook County Sheriffs served me.Page 6 Par 67 Lines 1-2 Judge Shapiro: "You are showing me what you tried to send me, but I haven’t received it yet. You see, you’re at a significant disadvantage"This statement by a Judge implies racial overtones!A white woman can say anything to the judge and he will listen to her before me because of her skin color.For example, I appeared before judge William O'Maki and Danielle Steimel was the Assistant Attorney General it was a an attempt to suspend my drivers license or a DCFS Case, I won any rate the AAG had flat out lied to the judge saying, I was served etc. and presented bogus paperwork, I received and I objected not my address and PO Box, I had my Motion to Disqualify Judge O'Maki, he told me to pick up my Motion and save it for the next judge and told the AAG to provide me with the correct documents and recused himself from the case.Respectfully submitted,Joe Louis Lawrence

Judge Shapiro:
Yeah. You have the right email address, but it’s not in my inbox. I give you an
alternative email address. I’m gonna give you my judiciary email address. Send

Respondent:
OK.
30.)
Judge
Shapiro: Let’s see If Ms Morales
apparently figured out how to rename her device so we know who she is
ASA Buchanan how can I help you?
31.)
ASA

32.)
Judge
Shapiro: And receive it in the Mr. Lawrence III still haven’t received your

received your motions at either email address. Let me check the other. Email
address here. I don’t. I’m getting other emails from other litigants, Mr.
Lawrence, but.
33.)
Respondent: I sent both emails. Is there some kind of
firewall up?
34.)
Judge
Shapiro: It could be, but II would
get a notice of that and release it. If I get a notice and release it.
35.)
Respondent: I’ve sent stuff to Judge Powers. He received
everything. I mean every judge that I’ve been before have received all my
emails.
36.)
Judge Shapiro: Wait a second. So do you think Judge Powers
has it?
37.)
Respondent: I sent Judge Powers? Yes,
yes, yes. Everything I sent you, I sent him a courtesy copy as well. Yes, Sir.
38.)
Judge Shapiro: Do you have courtesy
copies for a Joe Louis Lawrence? Spell Lawrence. I did not get that memo. Hang
on one second. I know proof ups can be via zoom. But I did not hear that
emergencies could also be by zoom. I. Can’t believe how difficult it is. Hang on.
And hang on this I have to deal with the coordinator and judge powers are hang
on.
39.)
Judge Shapiro: All right, Mr. Lawrence,
so. So you have a, you know, we’re here for presentment anyway.
40.)
Respondent: I’ve never been in this
situation before.
41.)
Judge Shapiro: Well, because yeah,
because you’re a self-represented litigant, you don’t need, neither have I
Really. Well, I guess I have sort of. So you’re moving to recuse the entire
Cook County judiciary is one of your motions?
42.)
Respondent: Yes Sir. Got four motions. Everything has
been particularized. I’ve been going through this here for 40 years. This is
not my child. This case was dismissed September 17th, 1987 and
brought back under another case number that I was never served. And everything
has been particularized clearly for you to see and understand. And the summary
judgment has never been refuted. The default has never been objected to and the
motion to recuse the Cook County judiciary because of the number of judges that
just passed the case over. Ignored the procedures as why, I am where I am now,
I’ve been locked up five times for allegedly owing child support on a case that
was dismissed. Everything is there for you to see for yourself, had I known
43.)
Judge Shapiro: That it’s not there for
me to see for myself, ‘cause I haven’t got it.
44.)
Respondent: With all due respect, Sir
based upon what you just explained you, didn’t you don’t have it. I tended
everything in a timely manner. This is most unusual. I would have to physically
at this point give you everything that was tended in a timely manner so that
you can see the timestamp recorded when everything was properly emailed.
45.)
Can
you screen share it? Can you put it? Can you? Do you know how to screen share?
Screen sharing.
46.)
Respondent: Yeah.
47.)
Judge Shapiro: Put it up on your screen. Put it.
48.)
Respondent: Yes, Sir
49.)
Judge Shapiro: Hang on. Hang on.
Screen. Share it. Alright, I’ve enabled screen sharing. Alright, while you’re
doing that, Mr. Lawrence, while you’re fussing with that, frankly, Mr. Whaley.
What’s going on with you Sir Can you put your zoom? Can you turn your zoom on
please? So I can see you and Mr. Ortiz, can you please turn your zoom on? Turn
your video on please. Good morning, Mr. Ortiz. Who are you here with Sir?
Again? Larry Johnson Case #2023 D 009.
50.)
Judge
Shapiro: That’s right. That’s right. Jeez, that’s right.
That’s the. Motion to Enforce Parenting Time. Yeah, I think I received your
courtesy copies. Let me let me see here. Hang on, let me just sign this order.
Courtney, if you’re there, I have a dispel order.
51.)
Court Coordinator: Judge?
52.)
Judge Shapiro: OK, yes Courtney I’m
here.
53.)
Court Coordinator: Will you be signing
it electronically?
54.)
Judge Shapiro: Yes,
55.)
Court Coordinator: OK, you can send it
to the courtroom address.
56.)
Judge
Shapiro: I’m sorry,
which one?
57.)
Court
Coordinator: CCC 21O3A.?
58.)
Judge Shapiro: You don’t want me to
send it to your email address Or you just wanted to send it there, not to yours
?
59.)
Court Coordinator: No Sir
60.)
Judge Shapiro: OK just the 2103a, just
the court room email address?
61.)
Judge
Shapiro: I can do that. Different clerks have different
preferences. Some of us many or if not most they send it to their email and
they just need there’s no uniformity there. So ok I will just send it to 2013a.
I know Cheryl’s gone today. Thank you for covering for her.
62.)
Court Coordinator:
No problem.
63.)
Judge Shapiro: All right, Mr. Lawrence.
64.)
Respondent: Yes, Sir,
65.)
Judge Shapiro: OK. I can barely see that these are text
messages, it’s not a Motion Why are you showing me these things?
66.)
Respondent: I’m showing you what I just sent you.
67.)
Judge Shapiro: You are showing me what
you tried to send me, but I haven’t received it yet. You see, you’re at a
significant disadvantage, Mr. Lawrence. You know you. For all I know, you may
have merit to your case, but a motion for default. OK, can you expand that? Are
you able to expand that in any way? I don’t understand why nothing is getting
through to either email address. I just don’t understand it not coming through
to either email address. I don’t recall
that happening before.
68.)
Respondent: This has never happened to
me neither Sir.
69.)
Judge Shapiro: I don’t now Sir I don’t
and I gave you. I gave you two different email addresses, and. 88 Case alright,
but I have to give them a chance to. Did you give notice to the other side, Mr.
Lawrence?
70.)
Respondent: The state’s attorney was
involved, Your Honor, and yes I did.
71.)
Judge Shapiro: So it was a state case?
72.)
Respondent: Yes, Sir.
73.)
Judge Shapiro: So you gave notice to
the state?
74.)
Respondent: Yes, Sir.
75.)
Judge Shapiro: State case so we need
the state back oK. So is the state involved case. Let me let me, Hang on one second. Sorry. Just I I’ve asked
for the state’s attorney to come back in, Mr. Lawrence. Just we’ll have to
wait. I have an attorney in my courtroom, though. All right, you can unmute
yourself unmute. Alright, just stand by Mr. Lawrence for the state to come back
in.
76.)
Respondent: Yes, Sir.
77.)
Judge Shapiro: The state says she’s
going to come back in. Can you can you take that down for now? That’s very
distracting. Can you just take down your
screen? Thank you very much for that. All right. Are you here Mr Lawrence let
me just refresh my recollection with your case, Mr. state involved case. It’s a
1988 case, almost forty years old, 37 years old, 37, you know. And he’s got a
motion for summary judgment pending a motion to recuse the entire Cook County
judiciary and a couple of other motions. I don’t know why because I somehow for
some reason cannot receive them. And Mr. Lawrence, you said you sent the state
notice of your motions?
78.)
Respondent: Yes, Sir
79.)
ASA Buchanan: I think, your Honor, I think he’s referring
to the state of Illinois, but that’s not an Illinois Department of Health Care
and Family Services case. So we would not be involved in this case for these
issues.
80.)
Respondent: With all due respect, the state’s attorney
was in fact representing this young lady that was a police officer. I have all
of that information recorded in the documents?
81.)
ASA Buchanan: We never represent an
individual party in any case, Sir.
82.)
Respondent: She was represented. I have
the names of the states attorneys. We was in front of Judge Forti, and Yolanda
Simmons was the state’s attorney representing her. So I have all the names.
83.)
ASA
Buchanan: So, Miss Simmons, I know exactly who you’re referring to,
represents the Illinois Department of Health Care and Family Services. We don’t
ever represent the petitioner in any case.
84.)
Judge
Shapiro: Go ahead, Mr Lawrence, what were
you going to say?
85.)
Respondent:
I have all the information and the names of the parties that was representing
this young lady as a police officer.
86.)
Judge
Shapiro: Representing her as a police officer?
87.)
Respondent:
Yes, Sir.
88.)
Judge
Shapiro: It sounds like the Civil
Division or something, if your office is Buchanan, right? Representing a police
officer to check out the veracity of his claims?
89.)
ASA
Buchanan: I honestly wouldn’t know,
your Honor, because that would be separate from domestic relations. So I don’t
know why anyone would be represent if they’re representing the City of Chicago,
they would never represent her. Well, ma’am with all due respect, he was not on
the case. Judge Patricia Fallon, when she read the motion, the information that
was recorded. She recused herself because she was in fact a former Assistant
State’s attorney. On my motion, I have the names of the parties that was on the
case as they backdated the young lady’s age as an adult, as a minor. And that’s
how I was remanded into custody five times. For allegedly owing child support
on a case that was dismissed September 17th, 1987. I never owed no
child support.
90.)
Judge
Shapiro: I knew if he gives you a case number.
91.)
Judge Shapiro:
I don’t have access to Odyssey here, right? Would you be able to look that up
to see, check the case and use …? Thank you.
92.)
ASA
Buchanan: I can pull the case up in Odyssey. I don’t know what I would
necessarily be able to see, but I’m happy to. If he can give me the docket. #88
hang on 1 second here.
93.)
Judge
Shapiro: Can you guys take it outside to talk? ASA Buchanan. Can I put you two in a breakout
room and you can talk a little bit. I have an in person emergency right now. A
therapeutic emergency. Can I put you in a breakout room and so I can get the
docket number? Sure. Yeah, maybe. Can you deal with him, please? ‘cause I.
Might have to recuse myself. Also, I’m going to make you Co-host again. He’s asking to recuse the
entire Cook County Judiciary, I don’t think I have the power to do that. I can
recuse myself. But II don’t, you know, I’d like to help him if he’s helpable.
But I, you know, I can’t recuse the entire judiciary, so things are OK. OK.
Judge Powers will not have time to hear this OK. Yes, he’s sort of on, but he’s
not. He hasn’t turned on his video. So Mister Walley, can you unmute and turn
on your video please, Sir? Mr Wiley, can you turn on your video?
94.)
ASA: OK Mr. Lawrence, what is your docket number?
Did you say
95.)
Respondent:
88 DO 79012?
96.)
ASA
Buchanan: OK. Let me see if I can pull it up. Give me one second. I gotta log
into their system. It seems to be a
little slow, right now I’m getting the spinning circle, so one second let me
see if. I can. Get in and so just as for reference, so our office than any
domestic relations case, we never represent any of the parties. We’re a 3rd
party would be a separate party, the Illinois Department of Health Care and
Family Services. And our cases tend to start with whatever year just like yours
is 1988 and then it’s a DO 5 number.
97.)
Respondent: Unfortunately and
it looks like this was done under the tables.
98.)
ASA:
The what?
99.)
Respondent: This case was
done under the tables.
100.)
ASA: Not sure what under the
tables mean, and our office wouldn’t be involved in any of that.
101.)
Respondent:
Fraudulently, so you wouldn't know anything about this. But I have everything
documented and affidavits and transcripts to corroborate everything that’s been
asserted here.
102.)
ASA: So what motions do you
have pending for today?
103.)
Respondent: I have, we noticed, motion to recuse the
entire Cook County judiciary and appoint a Special Prosecutor et al. A Re
notice of filing motion for default judgment of fraud of $50 million dollars,
motion for summary judgment pursuant to Illinois 735 ILCS 5 slash 21005 and
federal bus summary judgment of what?
104.)
ASA:
Motion for summary judgment OK, but for what? What summary judgment on what
issue?
105.)
Respondent: Motion that was
that was filed pending before Judge Fallon.
106.)
ASA:
for Judge Fallon OK and the last one motion to expedite defendants affected
from judicial malfeasance and violations of the Elements Code of Judicial
Conduct from the Cook County Judiciary Instanter. et al.
107.)
ASA: And so that doesn’t
sound like anything that our office would be involved in, but I want to see
what I can pull up.
108.)
Respondent:
All four re notices were in fact filed on August the 12th.
109.)
ASA:
I could see that you filed something. Yes, I can see that in here. It’s just
super slow. Every time I try and change the screen I’m getting the spinning
circle. So I’m just trying to see how this case started ‘cause it looks like.
From the initial first screen that I can see that you guys both had private
attorneys at one point.
110.)
Respondent:
That was not my attorney. I don’t know who that person was.
111.)
ASA: Maybe
it could have been. Did you guys ever have like, a guardian appointed?
112.)
Respondent:
No ma’am. I was never served.
113.)
ASA:
There was never an attorney for the child or anything.
114.)
Respondent:
No, ma’am.
115.)
ASA:
OK. That looks like. I do see like your pro say yes ma’am here, but I do see
that she previously did have an attorney, yes. Joseph V Roddy.
116.)
Respondent:
Yes. Joseph V Roddy, He represented the police officers. Yes. And that. I’m not
sure what. Manalo that was not my attorney Goldman. That in there saying he was
representing me. I don’t even know who that person was.
117.)
ASA: OK. Maybe it was just. I’m not sure why it’s
through the clerk’s office. I don’t know why it would be in there, but. I was
just trying to. Let’s see if I can.
118.)
Respondent: I was never served on this case, ma’am. A
default order was entered May 18th, 1988 and never vacated.
119.)
ASA:
Trying to see if I can see any of it in here. Give me a second. Excuse me, A
lot of screens to go through just because it’s
an older case so give me a Sec. Well, actually more than a second. I’ll
need a few minutes. Let me see if I can only think ‘cause
120.)
Respondent: I don’t think that. Judge Fallon was able to
pull the case up and receive everything off of Odyssey. She had a great ….
121.)
ASA:
Odyssey is the program that’s working
slow for me right now. That’s where I’m able to see.
122.)
Respondent:
Joe Shapiro is not able to access anything and I’ve done everything I could to
try to send it to him. And then….
123.)
ASA:
And that, I can’t help with that, You have to go back to screen by screen. And
I keep getting that spinning circle.
124.)
Respondent:
Well the computer system seems to be crazy today because the judge cannot
receive anything from me, and obviously you cannot see what you’re trying to
see, what’s in front of you.
125.)
ASA: Well, I can,
It’s just taking time. You know how your computer does that circle and spins a
second. So it’s just taking a little bit of time loading it up.
126.)
Respondent:
OK.
127.)
ASA: So I can. I’m in
Odyssey right now. I can get in. Umm. Yeah, so when the case I’m now matched.
To the first screen, it’s a non 4D case is what’s, what’s is how HFS would be involved.
So this is not an HFS or state involved case.
128.)
Respondent: Well on record it says one thing in front of
you, but in reality the state’s attorney has been in court. That’s how always.
In court on a state day in that particular courtroom. So for example, that’s
why I’m in here today. But just because I’m in in the courtroom today doesn’t
mean I’m involved in all the cases. That are in court today. Sounds like issues
that you have to address before Judge Shapiro. So you may have to wait for him
to finish whatever emergency hearing that he has had. I’m gonna see if I can.
Yeah, these were all by the orders that I’m seeing are all done by private
attorney that Joseph Roddy.
129.)
Respondent:
There are some states attorneys that have prepared the orders, Yolanda Simmons,
the State’s Attorney before Judge Forti prepared the court orders, Judge
Martinez States Attorneys prepared the orders, judge…
130.)
ASA:
it might have just been continued through the court that way, but if our
office, I don’t think was ever involved in this.
131.)
Respondent:
My affidavits and documents show otherwise.
132.)
ASA:
Show me. Can you show me an order that does show that it’s a state involved
case? If you have one, you can email it to me. I’m happy to look it up or
screen share it if you can if you’ve got it saved. But everything that I’m
pulling up and then granted it’s taking me a little bit of time ‘cause when I
change screens it’s slow. So let me pull anything up, but I don’t see anything
where our office is involved.
133.)
Respondent:
I didn’t expect none of this not to go through smoothly. I don’t have those
court orders in front of me.
134.)
ASA: OK I’m gonna
look and see if I can, see any it just takes me a little bit of time to go
through the screens, but I do not. Excuse me, see any, So far, but it’s going to take me a little
bit to get through them. See if I can. Skip a screen. Are these all new motions
you filed for today?
135.)
Respondent:
Yes, ma’am, they’ve been re noticed.
136.)
ASA: Let me pull
those up when were you last in court?
137.)
Respondent: Like two weeks ago. Oh, August. I
was in front of Judge Powers but they continued to this courtroom where you re
noticed everything to re file. Yes it was continued Judge Powers. Forwarded me
to this court because a post decree calendar because he had authority to look
and see what is going on with this case. The judge Shapiro does not have
anything. And it’s some kind of firewall that’s preventing my emails from
getting to him. I want. Be able to help with that part.
138.)
Respondent:
I’m not asking that, I’m just explaining you ask the question. Alright, let’s
see. I see.
139.)
ASA:
OK. So that was Judge Powers transferring. Alright, that was August 19th.
Transferred it to here. Yeah, looks as though. He pull up all them. So I do
see. Here we go. There’s a motion for. So I don’t think, I think he just wanted
me to look to see if there was something that our offices need to do in this
manner, but I don’t think that’s the case based on everything that’s pending
and everything that I can see so. We are going to have to go back before him.
Let me just look at your one other. I saw two. Another one regarding the
judiciary. Alright, so it looks as though these are. Essentially judiciary
orders that have to do with the judges or motions. Excuse me. And then. If
you’re. In the one case that looks like. And the one motion that looks like
you’re asking for a judgment, the judge may let, you know, the domestic
relations. May not be the proper venue, but I don’t see anything in here that,
I would be able to assist with. So I think that the judge thought that perhaps
with me getting the docket number and being able to look it up and that might
be because he doesn’t have access to it right now that might be able to provide
assistance, but there isn’t anything that I would be able to do. So what I’m
what I’m going to do right now is move. Well, actually. Can put you back in the
main session move to main session and then I’m gonna join you back over there.
OK. We’re gonna go back before the judge and we’ll see if he’s. Finish with the
in person party that he had. Alright, did you see that where it says that
something pop up to join the main session on your screen?
140.)
Respondent:
Yes,
141.)
ASA:
OK. So you can tap that and go back to.
142.)
Judge
Shapiro: Mr Lawrence’s case,
143.)
ASA: I did get the
docket number from him, when we were in the breakout room and then I was
able to kind of look at some of the things that have been filed in the case.
But this looks as though it was not a state involved case, at least certainly
not initially with when it was filed previously. And he does have three motions
pending. Which involves the judicial? OK, I thought I just saw the three that
were up on Re notice two of them had to do with the judiciary. So that would
certainly not be something in which our office would be involved in the other.
Looks as though it’s a default. He’s asking for a default judgment. Of $50
million for, I’m assuming something with the judiciary based on what it was
that he had filed, but I can’t. I don’t see anything else that’s pending. So
this would not be something that we would be. So it’s really not a state
involved case at all.
144.)
Judge
Shapiro: Is that right? Alright, alright,
145.)
ASA:
At least not as far as HFS would be involved. As far as this case, he might
have provided notice to the state. I think that that was what it was that he
was stating that when he had provided notice, he did notice things up to
multiple as I could see on the notice of filing, it went to multiple places,
your honor, and one of them was, I think the state of Illinois. In and of
itself, and then through our State’s Attorney’s office. But this isn’t
something that Health Care and Family Services would be involved in.
146.)
Judge
Shapiro: Thank you for
dealing with this and getting to the bottom of it. I didn’t know. Thank you,
ASA Buchanan, So you’re out of the case.
147.)
ASA:
OK. Alright. Thank you. . Thank you,
Judge. I appreciate it. Take care.
148.)
Judge
Shapiro: Alright, so Mr Lawrence, I I’m not sure where this
leaves us.
149.)
Respondent:
Your Honor, You’re not able to see anything. You’re going on the testimony,
understandably what the assistant States Attorney is saying, and you’re
listening to what I’m saying. But without something to corroborate what I’m
asserting to you in the court, you don’t have nothing to go on. I’ve never been
in a situation. Like this, I think I experienced something similar with Judge
Fallon, but what Judge Fallon did, she had her clerk to do was to go to Odyssey
and they copied everything that was done and she was able to review the
information. All of the documents that I did in fact file, I had no way of not
knowing that you didn’t have this. As a rule, I always call the Clerks office
before the court date…
150.)
Judge
Shapiro: All right, Mr. Lawrence, back to you, I gotta go into
chambers now and try to find your case.
