FULL ADMISSION BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY JUDICIARY PURSUANT TO Local Rule 56.1  The rule is very clear that "all material facts set forth in the statement required of the moving party will be deemed admitted unless controverted by the statement of the opposing party." Local Rule 56.1(b)(3)(B).

MOST BLACK AND CERTAIN HISPANIC JUDGES ARE THE WORSE PERSONS A BLACK OR COLORED PERSON CAN GO BEFORE BECAUSE MANY OF THEM ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEIR CAREERS OR FREEDOM TO PROTECT THEIR MASSAS IN THE POLITICAL MACHINE

WHEN THE MACHINE RUN OUT OF THEIR OWN ETHNIC GROUPS TO ENGAGE IN RACIST ACTS THEY CAN ALWAYS RELY ON A BLACK OR BROWN JUDGE TO GO AGAINST THEIR OWN ETHNIC GROUPS.

JUDGE BAPTISTE A NEGRO SAID HE DOES NOT SEE ANY RACISM IN THIS CASE, BUT WHAT HE DID NOT REALIZE IS HE HAS IMPLICATED HIMSELF BECAUSE JUDGE ROMANEK PRETENDED TO BE THE ACTING PRESIDING JUDGE FORUM-SHOPPED HIM SPECIFICALLY TO DENY A MOTION NEITHER OF THEM HAD ANY JURISDICTION. 

MANY OF YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE ABBEY ROMANEKS NAME LOOK ABOVE THE JULY 2, 2026----IT SAYS ACTING PRESIDING JUDGE

IT'S APPARENT PRESIDING JUDGE REGINA SCANNICCHIO DIDN'T WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ALLEGED CRIMINAL EXTORTION SCHEME TRYING TO EXTORT CHILD SUPPORT FROM ME FOR A CHILD THAT'S AN ADULT NOT ONLY NOT MINE BUT WAS NEVER LEGALLY ORDERED TO PAY ANY CHILD SUPPORT.

THIS IS HOW DEMOCRATS IN COOK COUNTY CRIMINALIZE INNOCENT BLACK AND BROWN MEN OR IN EXTREME CASES TAKE THE CHILDREN FROM MOTHERS WHO MAY BE SEEKING CHILD SUPPORT FROM CERTAIN MEN.

COOK COUNTY IS NOT A PLACE FOR AN INNOCENT MAN OR WOMAN TO RECEIVE JUSTICE BUT THIS IS NOT DISCUSSED BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION DUE TO JUDGE LIONEL-BAPTISTE ENTERED A COURT ORDER JULY 6, 2026 AS VOID/A NULLITY OF NO LEGAL STANDING & OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE AND MOTION TO DISQUALIFY HIM FOR CAUSE INSTANTER ,

Respondent respectfully moves this Court on Motion for Reconsideration and Vacating, and declaring null the July 6, 2026 court order:

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT PURSUANT TO ILLINOIS (735 ILCS 5/2-1005) & FEDERAL RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE CORROBORRATING THE VERACITY COOK COUNTY JUDGES DO NOT HONOR DUE PROCESS OR CIVIL RIGHTS EQUAL PROTECTION TO IT’S CITIZENS PRO SE OR WITH ATTORNEYS IN ANY OF THE COURT’S w/AFFIDAVIT

 

Please be advised that on July 14, 2025 Respondent has filed before this  Domestic Relations Division Motion for Summary Judgment et al;

When the party moving for summary judgment supplies evidentiary facts which,

 If not contradicted, would entitle him to judgment, the opposing party cannot

 Rely upon his complaint or answer alone to raise issues of material fact. A counter

 Affidavit is necessary to refute evidentiary facts properly asserted by affidavit

 Supporting the motion or else the facts are deemed admitted.

 

Here, Defendant has supplied affidavits, Certified Court transcripts and other evidentiary material that establishes all of the elements necessary to entitle it to recovery under the parties’ agreements, including the amount of damages. Plaintiffs have failed to submit any evidence in opposition to the Motion or Order to raise any genuine issues of material fact. Thus, summary judgment is proper.

 

1.)    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”

 

2.)    That under 18 U.S.C. 242 and 42 U.S.C. 1985 (3) (b). A judge does not have the discretion on whether or not to follow Supreme Ct. Rules, but a duty to follow. People v. Gersh, 135 Ill. 2d 384 (1990).

 

3.)    Motions for Reconsideration are designed to bring to the court’s attention newly discovered evidence that was unavailable at time of original hearing, changes in existing law, or errors in court’s application of law. Continental Cas. Co. v. Security Ins. Co. of Hartford, App. 1 Dist. 1996, 216 Ill. Dec. 314, 279 Ill. App. 3d 815, 665 N.E. 2d 374, appeal dismissed, et al.;

 

4.)    The purpose of a Motion to Vacate is to alert the trial court to errors it has made and to afford an opportunity for their correction. In re Marriage of King, App. 1 Dist. 2002, 270 Ill. Dec. 540, 336 Ill. App. 3d 83, 783 N.E. 2d 115, rehearing denied pending appeal; et al.

 

5.)    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.

 

 

a.       “A Void Judgment from its inception is and forever continues to be absolutely null, without legal efficacy, ineffectual to bind parties or support a right, of no legal force and effect whatever, and incapable of confirmation, ratification, or enforcement in any manner or to any degree. “A void judgment, order or decree may be attacked at any time or in any court, either directly or collaterally” Oak Park Nat Bank v. Peoples Gas Light & Coke Col, 46 Ill. App. 2d 385, 197 N.E. 3d 73, 77, (1st Dist. 1964)          

 

 

U. S Sup Court Digest 24(1) General Conspiracy

 

U.S. 2003. Essence of a conspiracy is an agreement to commit an unlawful act. —U.S. v. Jimenez Recio, 123 S. Ct. 819, 537 U.S. 270, 154 L.Ed.2d 744, on remand 371F.3d 1093

 

         Agreement to commit an unlawful act, which constitutes the essence of a conspiracy, is a distinct evil that exist and be punished whether or not the substantive crime ensues. -Id.

         Conspiracy poses a threat to the public over and above the threat of the commission of the relevant substantive crime, both because the combination in crime makes more likely the commission of other crimes and because it decreases the part from their path of criminality. -Id.

 

CONSPIRACY

Fraud maybe inferred from nature of acts complained of, individual and collective interest of alleged conspirators, situation, intimacy, and relation of parties at time of commission of acts, and generally all circumstances preceding and attending culmination of claimed conspiracy Illinois Rockford Corp. V. Kulp, 1968, 242 N.E. 2d 228, 41 ILL. 2d 215.

 

     Conspirators to be guilty of offense need not have entered into conspiracy at same time or have taken part in all its actions. People V. Hardison, 1985, 911 Dec. 162, 108. Requisite mens rea elements of conspiracy are satisfied upon showings of agreement of offense with intent that offense be committed; Actus reas element is satisfied of act in furtherance of agreement People V. Mordick, 1981, 50 ILL, Dec. 63

 

                INDUCING RELIANCE

To prevail in a cause of action for fraud, plaintiff must prove that defendant made statement of material nature which was relied on by victim and was made for purposes of inducing reliance, and that victim’s reliance led to his injury. Parsons V. Winter, 1986, 1 Dist., 491 N.E. 2d 1236, 96 ILL Dec. 776, 142 ILL App 3d 354, Appeal Denied.

 

    In Carter V. Mueller 457 N.E. 2d 1335 ILL. App. 1 Dist. 1983 The Supreme Court has held that: “The elements of a cause of action for fraudulent misrepresentation (sometimes referred to as “fraud and deceit” or deceit) are: (1) False statement of material fact; (2) known or believed to be false by the party making it; (3) intent to induce the other party to act; (4) action by the other party in reliance on the truth of the statement; and (5) damage to the other party resulting from such reliance.

 

6.)   That Page 11, Par 27 “That Respondent being aware of Blacks in the Democratic Party-Political Machine are nothing more than Puppets or Figure heads upholding racism and Jim Crow Laws in Cook County or the City of Chicago will never and have never attempted to speak up or try and do what was right by him in standing up to the Caucasians who were the initial authors of these Ku Klux Klan Criminal Civil Rights Violations” from the Motion to Disqualify et al.

A-   A Negro judge male or female will find fault or make up one against any Pro se litigant rather than address any wrongs or racial acts perpetrated by certain Democratic Caucasians and was already expecting him to deny his Motion never have a Black judge ever ruled in accordance to the laws of the US Constitution in his favor.

B-   Respondent used the actual template from Par 7 Request for Investigation of Judge Francis A. Gembala et al. a Caucasian judge before the Judicial Inquiry Board anticipating Judge Baptistes denial

C-   Judge Baptiste implicated the Daley administration as the cause of the series of irregularities but Respondent vehemently interjected and informed the Court he never said that and had no issue with Daley because he dismissed the case September 17, 1987, in my favor.

D-   Judge Baptiste stated, I know you didn’t say that but all of this took place under that administration and Judge Silva and Powers did not enter these court orders.

E-   Judge Baptiste ignored the Motion accompanied with the Affidavit ignored the States Attorney representing the Plaintiff never sought clarity of the ASA’s involvement like every other judge this matter has appeared before and acted as Plaintiff’s defacto representative in that the States Attorney has been unlawfully representing the Plaintiff ever since her racist attorney as a former States Attorney colluded with all of his Irish and Polish ethnic Brethren and judges as they falsified court orders and documents in the courts.

REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION
OF JUDGE FRANCIS A. GEMBALA
FOR VIOLATION OF THE CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT

I have information of possible willful misconduct in office, persistent failure to perform his duties, and other conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice and that brings both his judicial office and the judiciary into disrepute on the part of Francis A. Gembala of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. A judge should strive to maintain confidence in our judicial system (Preamble to Code of Judicial Conduct), but Judge Gembala's actions destroy confidence in the judicial system. Unless he is severely disciplined or removed from office, he will continue to violate the Code of Judicial Conduct.

Judge Gembala knew, or should have known, that he had conscientiously, arbitrarily, capriciously, deliberately, intentionally, and knowingly engaged in conduct in violation of the Supreme Law of the Land, in violation of his duty under the law, in "fraud upon the court" and to aid and abet others in criminal activity, thus making himself a principal in the criminal activity.

 

8.)  On September 17, 1997 Judge Francis A. Gembala recused himself from case no. 91-D-5122. [NOTE: A judge may not recuse himself, under law, unless he is in violation of the Rules of Judicial Conduct. By recusing himself, Judge Francis A. Gembala has admitted that he was acting in violation of the Rules of Judicial Conduct.

9.)    That as a Negro judge under no circumstances will that kind of individual rule in favor of a Black or Brown Man, judge Baptiste has corroborated and validated the verity that only Caucasian or Hispanic/Latinos can mention racial animus of certain Caucasians when it is perpetrated on Black or Brown Colored Men

10.)                        That MOTION TO RECUSE HON PATRICIA FALLON DUE TO CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST PRIOR ASSOCIATION TO THE STATES ATTORNEY OFFICE ET AL. Page 4, Pars 4- 6 ref as Pars 11-13 on this document articulates the systemic racial hatred no Black, Negro, African American is allowed to say or defend persons of their ethnic groups.

A-    Caucasian judges have stated no Bros Black judges will ever rule in my favor, they have to do what they are told and no good ol boys will ever go against their ethnic group for a Brother, but a good white judge will help him.

11.)               Kent Stephen Ray was in an alleged Homosexual intimate relationship with the Secretary of the ATU Local 241 union who was the Chief Attorney with the CTA and was responsible for destroying my personnel records where, I filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the CTA for Retaliatory Discharge case # 93 L 010772.

         A-That Par F are the actual Pleadings Particularized demonstrating horrific Disparate Conditions of Employment, Racism, Terrorism and most importantly how Blacks are used to destroy their own ethnic groups upholding Jim Crow Laws protecting their Political Masters in the Democratic Machine..

 

12.)               Susan Scher a Corporation Counsel dispatched on the case under your alleged authority to help the alleged corrupt Homosexual CTA Attorney Ken S. Ray, where he informed the racist Judge Patrick McGann, that, I had no proof, I was DISCHARGED from the CTA and at the time, he was correct it was hearsay, that caused the filing of the Complaint.

 

13.)               So, Judge Forti this is why you never read anything about me or this case because you are well familiar to my pleadings and is trying to use your racist and Homosexual connections to allegedly save maybe your ex or former alleged Boo Kent Stephen Ray because only your kind of people or Black and white trash would be intertwined in this type of mess.

 

 

14.)                        That Judge Baptiste rather than Recuse himself like certain other judges so that the Respondent can get out of Cook County and receive justice because no justice can ever be sought here he has now implicated himself by trying to undermine the Respondent by closing his eyes to all of the racial injustices and void orders and corruption by saying he don’t see racism and that judge Powers didn’t do anything wrong in assigning Judge Silva to the case Judge Powers assumed the authority of the Presiding judge Regina Scannicchio and forum-shopped judges he thought would embrace racial hatred and his bias disposition against the Respondent, Rule 23.6 Substitution of Judge of the Illinois Rules of Civil Procedure (C) Orders granting a substitution of judge shall be accompanied by an order transferring the case to the presiding judge of the division or district in which the case is then pending for reassignment.

a.       Fraud upon the court is a basis for equitable relief. Luttrell v. United States, 644 F. 2d 1274, 1276 (9th Cir. 1980); see Abatti v. C.I.R. , 859 F 2d 115, 118 (9th Cir. 1988) “it is beyond question that a court may investigate a question as to whether there was fraud in the procurement of a judgment” Universal Oil Products Co. v. Root Refining Co., 328 U.S. 575, 66 S. Ct. 1176, 90 L. Ed. 1447. The power of the court to unearth such a fraud is the power to unearth it effectively. See Hazel-Atlas Glass Co. v. Hartford-Empire Co., 322 U.S. 238, 64 S. Ct. 997, 88 L. Ed. 1250; Sprague v. Ticonic National Bank, 1184 and United States v. Throckmorton, 98 U.S. (8 Otto) 61, 25 L. Ed. 93.

 

b.      A judge is an officer of the court, as are all members of the Bar. A judge is a judicial officer, paid by the Government to act impartially and lawfully”. People v. Zajic, 88 Ill. App 3d 477, 410 N.E. 2d 626. “A void judgment is regarded as a nullity, and the situation is the same as it would be if there were no judgment. It has no legal or binding force or efficacy for any purpose or at any place….It is not entitled to enforcement. 30A Am Judgments 43, 44, 45. Henderson v Henderson 59 S.E. 2d  227-232 

 

 

 

WHEREFORE, Respondent respectfully requests that this Court:

A. Immediately Vacate the Court Order July 6, 2026 Instanter.

B. Order the reassignment of this case to the Jurisdiction of Willow brook

C. Direct the State Police or Inspector General or Judicial Inquiry Board to Investigate systemic allegations of racial corruption.

D. Rule upon Respondent's previously filed motions for default and summary judgment; and

E. Grant such further relief as justice requires.

Under penalties as provided by law pursuant to 735 1265 5\1-109, the undersigned certifies that the statements set forth in this instrument are true and correct, except as to matters therein stated to be on information and belief and as to such matters, the undersigned certifies as aforesaid that he verily believes the same to be true.
