Judge Posner publicly stated that he attempted to personally review such memoranda in order to ensure meaningful judicial consideration of pro se appeals but that his colleagues declined to allow him to assume that role.

    “The basic thing is that most judges regard these people as kind of trash not worth the time of a federal judge.”

So, on Feb 11, 2026, the following was filed in the Seventh Circuit but a Clerk with initials CAG recorded that,  7 pgs Jurisdictional memorandum filed by Appellant Joe Louis Lawrence. [4] [7504067] 26-1226 (CAG) [Entered: 02/11/2026 09:46 AM]

1.)  WHY WOULD HE OR SHE GASLIGHT HIS COLLEAGUES AND JUDGES INTO BELIEVING THAT, ANOTHER JURISDICTIONAL STATEMENT HAD BEEN FILED?

NOT SINCE THE Dred Scott decision, legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on March 6, 1857, ruled (7–2) that a slave (Dred Scott) who had resided in a free state and territory (where slavery was prohibited) was not thereby entitled to his freedom; that African Americans were not and could never be citizens of the United States; and that the Missouri Compromise (1820), which had declared free all territories west of Missouri and north of latitude 36°30′, was unconstitutional. The decision added fuel to the sectional controversy and pushed the country closer to civil war.

APPELLANT HAS BEEN BORN A FREEMAN IN THESE UNITED STATES BUT THE STATE COURTS AND FEDERAL COURTS ARE TREATING HIM AS A SLAVE AND NOT ENTITLED TO HIS FREEDOM OF EQUAL PROTECTION IN THE COURTS.

 PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR OTHER APPROPRIATE RELIEF

(28 U.S.C. § 1651(a))

---

 

Petitioner respectfully seeks issuance of a writ of mandamus directing the district court to vacate the January 6, 2026 order and reassign the case to a different judge.

 

I. JURISDICTION

This Court has authority under the All-Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a).
Mandamus is appropriate where judicial conduct threatens structural fairness and no adequate remedy exists. In re United States, 572 F.3d 301 (7th Cir. 2009).

• Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law – 18 U.S.C. § 242
• Conspiracy Against Rights – 18 U.S.C. § 241

·         False arrest and unlawful imprisonment

·         Denial of due process under color of law

·         Judicial misconduct and misuse of legal authority

·         Retaliation for protected complaints against a police officer

·         Fabrication or misuse of an order of protection

·         Civil rights violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983

·         Potential collusion between law enforcement and judicial officers

•

II. STATEMENT OF FACTS (SUMMARY)

• Defendant was in default
• Defendant filed a non-noticed motion during a federal holiday closure
• The district court granted ex parte relief
• The same judge denied recusal and vacatur
• Proceedings continue despite unresolved structural defects

·         That Pursuant to Vigus V. O’Bannon, 1886 8 N.E 788, 118 ILL 334. Hazelton V. Carolus, 1907 132 ILL. App. 512. here are other cases of Fraud

• US Bank et al vs Monzella Johnson et al. 2008 CH 33616 case vacated HOW A CERTIFIED COURT ORDER (OCT. 29, 2024) OF JUDGE PAMELA GILLESPIE VACATING FORECLOSURE JUNE 10, 2010, AND AFFIRMED BY THE APPELLATE COURT 5^TH DIVISION DEC. 30, 2011, whereby, attorneys emailed Judge Derico with instructions on how to construct a court order so as to unlawfully evict senior citizens from their home of 64 years before Thanksgiving 2024, Black or certain Latino judges are only appointed to the bench or state agencies to fulfill the doctrines of hate and racial oppression on their own ethnic groups no other group.
• No Democratic Cook County Judge has jurisdiction on said matter because the States Attorney never had jurisdiction or any reasons to appear before any court because the case was DISMISSED September 17, 1987 by former States Attorney Richard J. Daley and the case was refiled without Defendant’s knowledge and a law firm was created pretending to represent the Defendant which was never true (Manigold) and a DEFAULT was entered May 18, 1988 never ordering child support payments and was never VACATED, but was Remanded five times for allegedly owing child support on Void Court Orders.
• Jan 14, 2026, Cook County Judge Rosa Silva recused herself from the case but no Court Order has ever been entered on a void case under Prove-Up Default.

·         In Re M. G.W Case #2020 D 79452 a case very similar to the 88 D 079012 is fraught with fraud and corruption where former judge David Haracz signed an Allocation Order refusing a trial and signed the court order (November 4, 2021) without any of the parties or their attorneys and Judge Forti is using that fraudulent document to remove the child from the mother unlawfully, furthermore demonstrating his untouchable status as a homosexual terrorizing a Black woman because nobody Black or of competent authority can admonish him, said orders are a Nullity/Void and needs to be vacated instanter. 

• Defendant has not seen her daughter since she has been unlawfully removed from Indiana Public School where she is a resident, Judge Forti as a former Corporation Chief Counsel defending Police Officers presiding over said matter as a Homosexual and racist is demonstrating he and judge Blakey can do whatever they want to Black or Colored People and nothing is going to happen to them because of the concerted hate the fraternity of like-minded judges have for said ethnic groups.

III. ARGUMENT

A. CLEAR AND INDISPUTABLE RIGHT TO RELIEF

Ex parte adjudication benefiting a defaulted party violates:

• Fifth Amendment Due Process
• Fed. R. Civ. P. 5, 6, 55
• 28 U.S.C. § 455(a)
• Honorable John Robert Blakey: The Court denies Plaintiff's motion for a stay pending appeal or for mandamus,68 and strikes the 2/4/26 Notice of Motion date. Mandamus constitutes "a drastic and extraordinary remedy reserved for really extraordinary causes"; "only exceptional circumstances amounting to a judicial usurpation of power or a clear abuse of discretion will justify the invocation of this extraordinary remedy." United States v. Henderson, 915 F.3d 1127, 1132 (7th Cir. 2019) (quoting Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for D.C., 542 U.S. 367, 380 (2004)). 

A reasonable observer would question impartiality. Cherry, 330 F.3d at 665.

Jan 2, 2026, MOTION by Defendant Verizon Communications Inc. for leave to file Verizon Wireless Service, LLC's Motion for Leave to File Answer Out of Time (Kelly, Matthew)

---

B. NO ADEQUATE ALTERNATIVE REMEDY

Post-judgment appeal is inadequate where:

• The injury is ongoing
• The judge whose neutrality is questioned continues to preside

In re Hatcher, 150 F.3d 631 (7th Cir. 1998).

---

C. MANDAMUS IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT JUDICIAL INTEGRITY

The writ is warranted to:

• Preserve public confidence
• Halt compounding due process violations
• Enforce § 455’s mandatory recusal standard

---

IV. RELIEF REQUESTED

Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court:

1. Issue a writ directing vacatur of the January 6, 2026 order;
2. Order reassignment to a different district judge;
3. Stay district court proceedings pending resolution.
4. Order Federal Mandate into ongoing corruption involving cases Dismissed as Void Orders are steady being drafted allowing attorneys to profit off of the Criminal Enterprise of Injustices within the judiciary.
