BLUEPRINT HOW COOK COUNTY JUDGES "FIXED" A PATERNITY CASE PROTECTING A PEDOPHILE POLICE OFFICER WHOSE DAUGHTER HE IMPREGNATED CAME AFTER ME FOR CHILD SUPPORT KNOWING THAT I AM NOT HER DAUGHTERS FATHER 

SPECIFIC JUDGES AND ASSISTANT STATES ATTORNEYS OF CERTAIN ETHNICITY VIOLATED MY CIVIL RIGHTS AND HUMAN RIGHTS BECAUSE OF MY BROWN SKIN COLOR AND HETEROSEXUAL DISPOSITION.

WHEN RACIST JUDGES ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTROL OR INTIMIDATE CERTAIN HISPANIC/LATINO JUDGES THE SYSTEM ALLOWS CERTAIN JUDGES TO MANIPULATE THEIR COURT CALENDAR BY INSERTING A JUDGE OF ANY RACIST HATEFUL MAKEUP TO ASSUME THEIR CALL UNLAWFULLY AND RULE AGAINST PEOPLE OF COLOR BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

AS YOU CAN SEE A CONVOY OF PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH THE STATES ATTORNEYS DISPOSITION AND THEY FILED PETITIONS.

A coalition of attorneys, elected officials, and community groups filed a petition asking the court to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate alleged criminal misconduct by federal immigration agents during “Operation Midway Blitz.”

They argue that Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke has failed to investigate the agents, creating a conflict of interest that warrants a special prosecutor.

The State’s Attorney has opposed the request, calling it legally flawed and arguing that bringing in a special prosecutor could complicate any future prosecutions. 

55 ILCS 5/3-9008 — Appointment of Special Prosecutor

This statute allows a court to appoint an outside prosecutor when the elected State’s Attorney cannot or should not handle a case. Below is how it works and why it becomes important in situations like the one involving Eileen O’Neill Burke.

Who Decides the Petition

The request is filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, and a judge will rule on it.
Administrative authority over which judge handles it ultimately rests with Charles S. Beach Jr., the current chief judge.

He may:

  1. Decide the matter himself (rare), or

  2. Assign it to another judge in the Criminal Division.

  3. Has a conflict of interest

The judge then determines whether the statutory criteria for a special prosecutor are met.

EILEEN BURKE IS A FORMER JUDGE WHO DENIED EVERY MOTION, I PRESENTED WHEN SHE WAS AN APPELLATE JUDGE ON CASE 19-0845 JUDGE EILEEN O'NEIL BURKE, JUDGE ROBERT E. GORDON, JUDGE MARGARET MCBRIDE, JUDGE JESSE G. REYES WERE JUDGES WITH HER GOING ALONG WITH THIS ALLEGEDLY.

Hon Rosa Silva & Patrick Powers:

Please find attached the following document filed this afternoon, the last time up on Jan 14, 2026 Judge Silva you stated that you were RECUSING yourself from the case, I never received a court order transferring this matter to Judge Scannicchio because Judge Powers is obviously having a hard time trying to find someone to try and FIX this case, the last time a great Hispanic woman judge tried to do what was right on the bench Judge Elizabeth Loredo Rivera who wasn't afraid of anything probably but GOD, had her Caucasian Clerk to go into the computer and see who was the last attorney of record representing Police Officer Francoise Hightower, her Clerk said it was the States Attorney your Honor.

Judge Rivera directed me to take her Court Order with the Motion to 28 North Clark and to get the name of the person accepting the documents at the desk, when I returned back to court Myron Mackoff (who is only a judge because of his father Benjamin Mackoff, former Presiding Judge) took on judge Rivera's cases, I tried to get a continuance because something didn't feel right, he Denied my Motion and told me to file an Appeal, what this son didn't know is that his dad provided me an Affidavit Computer Printout of the actual days the Irish attorneys were going to court without my knowledge getting court orders, there were Irish and Polish women in responsible positions of authority whose fathers or Uncles were in Politics and were racist and they made it clear to me that they didn't like Black Men at all. 

If the judge Black, Irish or Polish now Gay, they never rule in favor of Black or Brown Men follow this case nobody of integrity is intertwined in this mess.

MOTION TO ENTER DEFAULT NUNC PRO TUNC OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE, FOR IMMEDIATE RULING

Because no qualified good judge can really do their jobs with the Domestic Terrorists controlling the judiciary, I need Judge Powers to use Judge Silvas signature stamp like he has been doing and DENY this Motion so that, I can prepare a Supervisory Order/Mandamus in the hopes that it is denied so that, I can strategically ENJOIN this paternity case with the Verizon Case and Petition the Seventh Circuit to reopen every case, I have been many times denied due to systemic fraud and structured Racism in the courts making every court order Void/a Nullity.

I have met some great ASA's none of them opposed me in the courts, they said "the judges told them not to try litigating against you because you are out of our league and leave You to them"  

Now Judge Powers God has blessed me with the ability to counter racial hatred systemic judicial lynchings in the courts with defensive legal maneuverings described as SMATTERING but to this date no attorney has ever defeated me litigiously in any court but, I have been many times DENIED in every court because of my Brown complexioned skin tone. 


Respectfully submitted

Joe Louis Lawrence

 MOTION TO ENTER DEFAULT NUNC PRO TUNC OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE, FOR IMMEDIATE RULING

Now Comes Petitioner, Attorney Pro se, Respectfully moves this Court for entry of a Default Nunc Pro Tunc Order, or alternatively for an immediate ruling on Petitioner’s previously filed Motion for Entry of Default for Failure to Appear and Failure to Plead, which has been sitting in limbo since Jan. 14, 2026 and in support states as follows:

That Pursuant to Steinbrecher v. Steinbrecher, 197 Ill. 2d 514, 528 (2001) “Pro Se litigants are presumed to have full knowledge of applicable court rules and procedures”


I. PRIOR FILING OF DEFAULT MOTION – That has been systematically and structurally ignored

  1. On or about Feb 9, 2024, Respondent filed a Motion for Entry of Default for Failure to Appear and Failure to Plead and for Setting of Prove-Up Hearing on Monetary Damages, (filed Nov. 25, 2025)
  2. Said motion asserted that Plaintiff failed to appear, plead, or otherwise respond to the allegations within the time allowed by law.
  3. No written objection or response to the motion has been filed by Respondent or any party.
  4. Respondent also filed a Motion for Summary Judgment (Dec 4, 2023) and a Motion for Default (Feb 9, 2024) Seeking Monetary Damages $50 Million Dollars, and Petitioner has again failed to respond and the Assistant States Attorneys tried deleting their representation of her and failed to Deny, Object to any of Respondent’s Pleadings accompanied with Affidavits. Pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2-612 Counsel never Objected to the sufficiency of Petitioners pleadings, Objections to sufficiency of pleadings either in form or substance must be made In trial court, and if not so made, they will be considered waived and cannot be raised for the first time on appeal. People ex rel. Deynes v. Harris, App. 1948, 77 N.E. 2d 439, 333 Ill. App. 280.
  5.  

II. CONTINUANCE WITHOUT RULING

  1. The motion was set for hearing before this Court.
  2. On January 14, 2026, the matter was continued without entry of a ruling on the motion because Judge Rosa verbally Recused herself from the case
  3. As of the filing of this motion, no order has been entered granting or denying the requested default.

III. FAILURE TO PLEAD CONSTITUTES DEFAULT

  1. Under Illinois civil procedure, a party who fails to appear or plead within the time required by law may be found in default.
  2. When the allegations of a pleading remain unanswered, those allegations may be deemed admitted for purposes of default proceedings.

IV. NECESSITY OF A COURT RULING

  1. The continued absence of a ruling on the pending motion prevents the orderly progression of the case and creates uncertainty regarding the status of the pleadings.
  2. Entry of default would permit the Court to proceed to a prove-up hearing regarding damages or other relief.

V.  PRESERVATION OF RECORD

  1. Petitioner respectfully notes that the absence of a ruling on the pending motion affects the clarity of the record and may impede appellate review.
  2. Entry of an order on the motion will ensure that the procedural posture of the case is properly documented.
  3. This case has been fraudulently before the court for 38 years.
  4. The Record Reflects Respondent was never served, case was Dismissed prior Sept. 17, 1987 by the States Attorney via Paternity Tests Excluded Paternity from two Independent Medical Laboratories where  ASA Obyrietta Gammett Scott was the assigned States Attorney (85 D 068184) where a Jury Appearance was filed. .
  5. The 88 D 079012 was fraudulent created a Law Firm Manilow & Goldman, LTD was never Respondent’s attorney.
  6. Default was entered May 18, 1988, and never Ordered the Def to Pay any child support and was never Vacated.
  7. A judge ordered the Def never to go near the child unless, he had a court order in Nov 1989, same judge had another order ordering the Def to pay $4300 of her attorneys legal fees.
  8. A judge signed an unlawful arrearage court order in 1995 for alleged monthly charges.
  9. Defendant has been REMANDED 5’x’s for Contempt of Court for ALLEGEDLY OWING CHILD SUPPORT on a child not only not his but the record reflects egregious systematic racial hatred.
  10. The States Attorney backdated an adult (Tycee Hightower as a minor) to justify these horrendous Domestic Terrorists Acts on the Def to Extort money from him while on Public Aid and is now a victim of Tax Fraud owing $4700 unlawfully because of this case.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, Respondent Respectfully Requests that this Court:

1.). Enter a Default against  the Plaintiff Nunc Pro Tunc as of the date default first occurred;

2.)  In the alternative, issue an immediate ruling on Respondent’s previously filed  Motion for Entry of Default;

3.) Respondent Respectfully Requests that the Court enter a Default Nunc Pro Tunc Order as of the date on which the default first became appropriate based upon Plaintiff’s failure to plead or appear.

4.) A Court Order would reflect the procedural reality that Plaintiff has been in Default since that time with the States Attorney representing her.

5.) Respondent Respectfully Prays that this Court issue an immediate ruling granting the previously filed Motion for Entry of Default so that the matter may proceed in accordance with Illinois Rules of Civil Procedures and Supreme Court Precedents and Illinois Laws and Illinois Constitution.

6.) Grant such other relief as this Court deems just and proper.
