TRANSCRIPT HEARING OF JUDGE FORTI RECUSING HIMSELF (May 9, 2025) but had a court order emailed to me 5:05 Dismissing a Petition, but there was no Petition only a Motion for a Default and a Re Notice to Recuse the Cook County Judges, and Re Notice to Vacate Maritza Martinez March 27, 2024, court order.

Respondent Joe Louis Lawrence: The default, your honor, this is what this matter is about, your honor. A re notice for the default and a re notice to recuse the entire Cook County Judiciary.

Judge Forti and that , you know what, Sir I’m going to recuse myself like others but I’m going to apprise Judge Scannicchio of this, because you cannot recuse the entire. Domestic relations division.

Respondent Joe Louis Lawrence: Your honor This is a 40 year old case…..

Judge Forti: That’s all I’m saying at this point. Because I’m going to recuse myself and I don’t have the time today to go into this. So this may be something, Mr. Lawrence that ultimately, as I said, I’m going to bring it up with Judge Scannicchio, so Ms. Simmons, this is off my call right now.

ASA Yolanda Simmons: All right will do your honor.

Judge Forti Sorry, Mr. Lawrence. What else is up?

        NOTICE OF JUDGE FORTI HAVING A HEARING MAY 9, 2025 ON THE 11:00AM CALL, (STATE OF ILLINOIS AFFIDAVIT PROPERLY NOTARIZED) AS ASA YOLANDA SIMMONS NEVER PRODUCED A COURT ORDER CORROBORATOING HER INVOLVEMENT COLLUDING WITH JUDGE FORTI IN SYSTEMIC CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS VERIFYING SAID JUDGES ARE “PRIVATE CITIZENS” “TRESPASSING UPON THE LAWS” LOPER BRIGHT ENTERPRISES V RAIMONDO, 603 U,S. 369 (2024) TO SECTION 42 USC 1983 OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS STATUTE, The Illinois Supreme Court held that if a court "could not hear the matter upon the jurisdictional paper presented, its finding that it had the power can add nothing to its authority, - it, had no authority to make that finding." The People v. Brewer, 128 Ill. 472, 483 (1928). The judges assigned had no legal authority (jurisdiction) to hear or rule on certain matters before them. They acted without any jurisdiction.

When judges act when they do not have jurisdiction to act, or they enforce a void order (an order issued by a judge without jurisdiction), they become trespassers of the law, and are engaged in treason.  

1.)   President Trump issued a Memorandum April 9, 2025

 MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES #14219

SUBJECT:       DIRECTING THE REPEAL OF UNLAWFUL REGULATIONS

Promoting economic growth and American innovation are top priorities of this Administration.  Unlawful, unnecessary, and onerous regulations impede these objectives and impose massive costs on American consumers and American businesses.  In recent years, the Supreme Court has issued a series of decisions that recognize appropriate constitutional boundaries on the power of unelected bureaucrats and that restore checks on unlawful agency actions.  Yet, despite these critical course corrections, unlawful regulations — often promulgated in reliance on now-superseded Supreme Court decisions — remain on the books.

Consistent with these priorities and with my commitment to restore fidelity to the Constitution, on February 19, 2025, I issued Executive Order 14219 (Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President’s “Department of Government Efficiency” Deregulatory Initiative).  It directed the heads of all executive departments and agencies to identify certain categories of unlawful and potentially unlawful regulations within 60 days and begin plans to repeal them.  This review-and-repeal effort shall prioritize, in particular, evaluating each existing regulation’s lawfulness under the following United States Supreme Court decisions:

A-   State Agencies and Judges have demonstrated anarchy and chaos in the courts needing Federal intervention because this is a 40 year (“Fixed Incest Paternity case) old case and judges and state agencies have demonstrated how they are able to violate and circumvent the laws of the US Constitution and still enforce Jim Crow Laws outlawed by the US Supreme Court.

2.)    THAT COOK COUNTY JUDGES DO NOT HONOR OR ABIDE BY ANY LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION

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

 

B-    The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals held that the Circuit Court   of Cook County is a criminal enterprise. U.S. v. Murphy, 768 F.2d 1518,    1531 (7th Cir. 1985)”.

 

3.)  That because Judge Forti did not enter a court order into the record from the May 9, 2025, 9:00am Hearing, said State of Illinois Affidavit is being filed, Particularizing all events that transpired in that court corroborating “Fraud” and “Corruption”

 

 

4.)    That years ago a Judge of Jewish ethnicity and of impeccable integrity advised me to always obtain a court order from a judge anytime you appear before him and an Irish Judge Patrick McGann told me to never appear in any court on Hearsay information.   

 

A-   Case 88 D 079012 Aug 3, 1988 vacating wrong date of defective service of Feb 24, not Feb 24, 1988 caused the May 18, 1988 DEFAULT to stand never ordering child support, causing all court orders afterwards to be deemed Void/a Nullity.

 

B-   Respondent served Courtesy Copy IV via email April 28, 2025, to Judge Forti and members of the Judiciary as well as the Judicial Council of the Seventh Circuit, particularizing the racist hateful terrorist criminal acts of him and all of his kind has participated in and are guilty of.

 

C-   Because of Respondents skin color and not being intimidated or bullied by him or the state he has recused himself from the matter when he never was supposed to be on the case in the first place.

 

1.)    The Summary Judgment was filed Dec 4, 2023 and was ignored and thereby admitted too in its entirety Local Rule 56.1(a) provides that a motion for summary must include a "statement of material facts as to which the moving party contends there is no genuine issue and that entitle the moving party to a judgment as a matter of law."

 

            This statement of material facts "shall consist of short numbered paragraphs,    including within each paragraph specific references to the affidavits, parts of the record, and other supporting materials relied upon to support the facts set forth in that paragraph." Part (b) of Local Rule 56.1 requires a party opposing summary for judgment to file a concise response to the movant's statement of material facts. That statement is required to include a response to each numbered paragraph in the moving party's statement, including in the case of any disagreement, "specific references to the affidavits, parts of the record, and other supporting materials relied upon." 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).

 

2.)    That the Default was filed Feb. 9, 2024 and methodically particularized all documents filed with affidavits and never denied or objected to but the judges mistook him as being a pushover simply because of their alleged skin color or alleged homosexual fraternal liaisons.

 

In the matter of Raymond, 442 F. 3d at 606. (7th Cir. 2013) )  The Court, nevertheless, is concerned and considers the prejudice to Plaintiff for Plaintiff’s counsel’s failure, particularly because cases should be decided on their merits. Certainly, the failure to file a response to a summary judgment motion can be fatal. See, e.g., id at 611.

 

5.)  The following events are transcribed from the Dec 13, 2024 where ASA Yolanda never provided a court order

6.)    Joe Louis Lawrence:  So I am. I’m respectfully objecting to the state being involved because judged when Eileen Burke was a judge, she was involved in this matter and denied..

7.)    Judge Forti:  And at the moment, Sir, Sir, this is falling. I’m telling you that you have filed a motion against a variety of parties, including the assistant state’s attorney. You got him. You filed a motion for default. Isn’t that, right?

8.)    Joe Louis Lawrence: That is correct. And I also filed a motion to go to a different venue

9.)    Judge Forti: I am letting him Miss Simmons know that you filed this motion for default. And I want to know what Miss Simmons’s position is now.

10.)          ASA:  At this time, I have received some emails on this case. From Scannicchio Clerk as well as from our own internal policies on how we handle with these cases. Your honor. I’m going to have to set this for brief continuance and get more clarification from my supervised attorney about how we handle these types of cases given the nature of what Mr. Lawrence has filed. So what date?

11.)          Judge Forti:  So what day?

12.)          ASA: I want to say this for January 30th. I’m sorry. January 3rd.

13.)          Judge Forti: is that work, Mr. Lawrence?

14.)          Joe Louis Lawrence: It’s fine.

15.)          ASA: Can you come back here at noon?

16.)          Joe Louis Lawrence:  Back to zoom?

17.)          ASA: Yes.

18.)          Joe Yes

19.)          Judge Forti: And the issue is where it where you’re get your getting Miss Simmons is seeking the continuance with respect to the fact that you re noticed your motion for default

20.)          Joe Louis Lawrence: And for the Cook County Judiciary to be recused as well.

21.)          Judge Forti: That I cannot do.

22.)          Joe Louis Lawrence: And we still have Maritza Martinez motion that have not been addressed that I paid to $75 for

23.)          Judge Forti: You need to go back to Miss Judge Martinez I can only handle because I have not recused myself and your effort to get me recused by virtue of the SOJ was denied. So I am. Keeping this case until at least we see what Miss Simmons says on the motion for default anything relating to Judge Romanek or Judge Martinez you have to raise in those courtrooms all right. So Miss Simmons, what do you have Mr. Lawrence’s contact information?

 

24.)      That ASA Yolanda Simmons never presented any documents impeaching the veracity of any Respondents pleadings but made irrelevant statements in the court and violated the sections of the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct, RPC 3.3

. Enforcement of a Void Judgment

The May 8, 1996, court order, which has been used to enforce child support obligations against me and, is void ab initio due to the existence of an unvacated prior order dated May 18, 1988. The enforcement of a void judgment violates due process rights, that the original order (1988) superseded everything else.

  • “A void judgment is one which, from its inception, is a complete nullity and without legal effect.”

— People v. Wade, 116 Ill. 2d 1, 506 N.E.2d 954 (1987)

  • “A judgment is void if it violated due process.”

— Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458 (1938)

2. Falsification of Court Records

There is evidence suggesting that Assistant State’s Attorneys and others, along with CTA General Attorney, participated in altering official records to misrepresent Tycee’s age, thereby falsely establishing minor status to justify child support enforcement, The State’s Attorney and others are accused of backdating or altering a birthdate to make someone a minor again, likely to continue child support obligations past their lawful limit are egregious within the laws itself and demonstrates serious criminal allegations being covered up.

  • “Fraud upon the court… vitiates the entire proceeding.”

— People v. Sterling, 357 Ill. 354, 192 N.E. 229 (1934)

  • “Fraud upon the court is fraud which is directed to the judicial machinery itself.”

— Bulloch v. United States, 763 F.2d 1115, 1121 (10th Cir. 1985)

Such actions, not only undermine the judicial process but may also constitute criminal offenses under:

  • 720 ILCS 5/17-3 – Forgery
  • 720 ILCS 5/33-3 – Official Misconduct

3. 

Unlawful Arrest and Retaliation

In 1994, a former CTA attorney in the workman’s compensation division Judge issued a warrant leading to my arrest and the removal of my CTA badge while I was handcuffed. This action appears to have been retaliatory, stemming from my prior complaints against systemic racism and injustice at the CTA for not paying any workman’s compensation while off work injured on duty ( a drunk police officer totaled his van on my rear bumper while standing still on a CTA bus)

Police Officer levied a false allegation complaint where an Order of Protection was never served on me and had no knowledge of but was arrested and Remanded into custody.

  • “A person has a constitutional right to be free from arrest unless probable cause exists.”

— Beck v. Ohio, 379 U.S. 89 (1964)

  • “Retaliation for the exercise of constitutional rights is actionable under § 1983.”

— Mt. Healthy City Sch. Dist. Bd. of Educ. v. Doyle, 429 U.S. 274 (1977)

If the arrest was indeed retaliatory, it constitutes a violation of my First and Fourth Amendment rights.

4. 

Denial of Due Process

The persistent handling of my case by certain judges, despite evident conflicts of interest and potential biases, raises concerns about forum shopping and denial of a fair trial. The case is kept in front of certain judges to ensure a predetermined outcome due to racial bias or corruption

  • “A fair trial in a fair tribunal is a basic requirement of due process.”

— In re Murchison, 349 U.S. 133 (1955)

  • “Due process of law requires that a party be accorded procedural fairness, i.e., given notice and an opportunity to be heard.”

— Fiallo v. Lee, No. 1-04-0440 (Ill. App. Ct. 2005)

5. 

Improper Enforcement and Financial Extortion

The enforcement of the 1996 order, despite its void status, has led to unauthorized wage garnishments and financial penalties, effectively amounting to extortion under the guise of legal authority.

  • “The knowing use of a void judgment as a basis for legal enforcement can constitute fraud.”

— People ex rel. Brzica v. Village of Lake Barrington, 268 Ill. App. 3d 420 (1994)

 

Such actions may also violate federal statutes, including:

  • 18 U.S.C. § 1341 – Frauds and Swindles
  • 18 U.S.C. § 242 – Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law

6. 

Federal Implications and Need for Oversight

Given the involvement of public officials and potential systemic misconduct, this matter may fall under the purview of federal oversight agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Based on the aforementioned, my Prayer for Relief respectfully requests:

  1. Immediate suspension of all enforcement actions related to the May 8, 1996, order.
  2. Transfer My Summary Judgment, Default Judgment & Motion to Recuse the Entire Cook County Judiciary and Appoint a Special Prosecutor et al. to another venue free of Bias.
  3. Comprehensive investigation into the alleged misconduct by the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board and other appropriate bodies who have ignored all my complaints
  4. Referral of this matter to federal authorities for potential civil rights violations.

Given the involvement of public officials and potential systemic misconduct, this matter may fall under the purview of federal oversight agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice.

 In addition to the above, My Prayer for Relief respectfully requests:

  1. Immediate suspension of all enforcement actions related to the May 8, 1996, order.
  2. Comprehensive investigation into the alleged misconduct by the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board and other appropriate bodies.
  3. Referral of this matter to federal authorities for potential civil rights violations.

The actions described herein represent not only personal grievances but also potential systemic failures within our judicial system. Upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice requires that such allegations be thoroughly investigated and addressed.

1.)    The United States Supreme Court recently acknowledged the judicial corruption in Cook County, when it stated that Judge "Maloney was one of many dishonest judges exposed and convicted through 'Operation Greylord', a labyrinthine federal investigation of judicial corruption in Chicago". Bracey v. Gramley, case No. 96-6133 (June 9, 1997).

Since judges who do not report the criminal activities of other judges become principals in the criminal activity, 18 U.S.C. Section 2, 3 & 4, and since no judges have reported the criminal activity of the judges who have been convicted, the other judges are as guilty as the convicted judges.          

Under Federal law which is applicable to all states, the U.S. Supreme Court stated that if a court is "without authority, its judgments and orders are regarded as nullities. They are not voidable, but simply void; and form no bar to a recovery sought, even prior to a reversal in opposition to them. They constitute no justification; and all persons concerned in executing such judgments or sentences, are considered, in law, as trespassers." Elliot v. Piersol, 1 Pet. 328, 340, 26 U.S. 328, 340 (1828)

The Illinois Supreme Court held that if a court "could not hear the matter upon the jurisdictional paper presented, its finding that it had the power can add nothing to its authority, - it, had no authority to make that finding." The People v. Brewer, 128 Ill. 472, 483 (1928). The judges listed below had no legal authority (jurisdiction) to hear or rule on certain matters before them. They acted without any jurisdiction.

When judges act when they do not have jurisdiction to act, or they enforce a void order (an order issued by a judge without jurisdiction), they become trespassers of the law, and are engaged in treason.  

25.)      Pembaur v. City of Cincinnati, 475 U.S. 469 (1986), is a United States Supreme Court case that clarified a previous case, Monell v. Department of Social Services (1978), and established that municipalities can be held liable even for a single decision that is improperly made, State Agency colluded with a plethora of other agencies violating the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 and Civil rights Act of 1866 and Mansell v Saunders (CA 5 F 1A) 372 F 2d.

Clerk Coordinator Ebony: 8:55am: I need everyone good morning. Come on good morning, good morning, Emily and good morning. Good morning, OK. I have a few announcements to make. The first announcement is, if you are here for a state case or child support case, where they told you to come on the call at 9:O5 your court call really starts at 11:00 AM. So you can come back when the states attorneys are here at 11:00 AM to have your case heard. OK, so if you’re here on child support, any child support expense related issue, or if the state’s attorney told you to come at 9O5 to check in, come. Back at 11:00 AM when the state’s attorney arrives to have your case heard. But you guys are free to log off. Same information same everything, Meeting ID password, just at 11:00 AM. Thank you all so much. Thank you. No problem. Thank you. No problem. See you at 11. Thank you

ASA Yolanda Simmons: Good afternoon. This is assistant state attorney Yolanda Simmons. This is the child support call for calendar 61. Judge Forti. I will call your name as I see it listed on the screen. I will ask for a phone number to contact you at and I will call you to have a conference with your case. Okay, alright. Umm, Mr. Lawrence, please unmute yourself, Give me a number. I can reach you at. 31296565 31296564554 5

Respondent Joe Louis Lawrence: Yep.

ASA Yolanda Simmons: Alright. Thank you.  

Judge Forti: Ebony are you there?

Clerk Coordinator Eboni: Yes judge, I am here are you ready to go to the last breakout room?

Judge Forti: Yes. And let me just while I peer momentarily, folks, are you all here on Carrera? Fernandez,

Judge Forti: I’m finishing up a prove up, and then I’ll be able to deal with you all. I see Mr. Wasco is here. Are the other parties here on Fernandez?

Attorney Bridget Obyrne: Good morning, your honor. I’m here on behalf of Efrain. I’m waiting for a partner in my firm. And then I think we are waiting for Peter Olson on behalf of the other party.

Judge Forti All right, ebony, when everyone is here for the 12:00 o’clock if you could put them in another breakout room, because I think Yolanda will still have the main room.

Ebony: OK, awesome. No problem.

Judge forti: So you’re putting me into number three? Well, as the court reporter, and I believe Miss Lillian is free to go. Isn’t she? Don’t we need to? We don’t need her for number three.

Ebony: No, I already explained to them. No, I already explained to room 4 what they needed to do. So they’re good to go.

 Judge Forti: what’s next Yolanda?  

ASA Yolanda Simmons: Alright, Thank you. OK, you have, we have Mr. Lawrence, your honor. This is Lawrence versus Hightower. Now, this is a old case

Judge Forti: Now we had this case for many, many times.

ASA Yolanda Simmons: Yes. Now your honor, Mr. Lawrence’s initial pleading was on the state provided case. He was trying to zero out the arrears. And that motion was ultimately denied. And that resulted in Mr. Lawrence filing motions trying to have yourself and other judges removed for prejudice and other issues. Your honor. And that’s why I’m here today. So technically his motions are here before the court  currently before the court on non-State issues, but they originated from a state case.

Respondent Joe Louis Lawrence: But I think the….

Judge Forti: Mr. Lawrence you’ve got dates separate in a part from this. Your SOJ’s have not been looked upon favorably. So I’m not sure what’s up to day. Miss Simmons, I don’t want to hear anything other than a state matter today.

Respondent Joe Louis Lawrence: The default, your honor, this is what this matter is about, your honor. A re notice for the default and a re notice to recuse the entire Cook County Judiciary.

Judge Forti and that , you know what, Sir I’m going to recuse myself like others but I’m going to apprise Judge Scannicchio of this, because you cannot recuse the entire. Domestic relations division.

Respondent Joe Louis Lawrence: Your honor This is a 40 year old case…..

Judge Forti: That’s all I’m saying at this point. Because I’m going to recuse myself and I don’t have the time today to go into this. So this may be something, Mr. Lawrence that ultimately, as I said, I’m going to bring it up with Judge Scannicchio, so Ms. Simmons, this is off my call right now.

ASA Yolanda Simmons: All right will do your honor.

Judge Forti Sorry, Mr. Lawrence. What else is up?  

Finished at 12:36pm

Certain Judges in Cook County are preferring Zoom and Break out rooms to conceal their corrupt activities “FIXING” cases in Cook County.

 

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.

This case is originally over Sept. 17, 1987 by former States Attorney Richard J. Daley, the only Irish person who followed the laws and respected the Respondent and his Attorney Robert A. Egan but was illegally bought back without Respondents knowledge and was Defaulted May 18, 1988 and never vacated, but this has been admitted to via Summary Judgment and is being ignored as so many are trying to continuously cover this matter up.

2.) THE MAIN AUTHORS RESPONSIBLE FOR RESPONDING BY OBJECTING OR DENYING ANY OF THE PLEADINGS WERE THE CHIEF JUDGE, STATES ATTORNEY OR ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL, PAGE 13 WAS SEEKING $50 MILLION DOLLARS AS PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

3.) SURPRISINGLY NOT ONE BLACK PERSON OBJECTED TO THE SUMMARY JUDGMENT BECAUSE MANY KNEW THE PLEADINGS WERE IN FACT TRUE.

4.) SO, THE MOTION WAS SUPPORTED WITH A FEDERAL LEGAL PRECEDENT IN RELATION TO SECTION 1983 OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT BECAUSE THE ENTIRE MUNICIPALITY WAS CULPABLE IN A PLETHORA OF VIOLATIONS RELATING TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS STATUTE.

       A- 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).    

Seventh Circuit Overturns $44.7 Million Jury Verdict Against City in Shooting Incident

  Wednesday, February 24, 2021    Julie Tappendorf

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals recently overturned a jury verdict against the City of Chicago awarding $44.7 million in damages relating to a shooting involving an off-duty police officer. First Midwest Bank as Guardian v. City of Chicago.

According to the court opinion, the plaintiff claimed that a Chicago police officer shot his friend during an argument when the two had been drinking. The friend suffered traumatic brain and other injuries. The friend sued the City of Chicago seeking damages for the shooting, arguing that the City was responsible for the officer's conduct. Specifically, the plaintiff claimed that the City's failure to have an "early warning system" to identify officers who might engage in misconduct, failure to adequately investigate and discipline officers who engage in misconduct, and the "code of silence" among police officers contributed to the shooting incident. The City argued that the officer was off duty and not acting under "color of state law" at the time of the shooting, so the City was not liable under Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act. The case made its way to a jury which found the City of Chicago liable and awarded $44.7 million in damages to the plaintiff. The jury found that two of the City's policies - its failure to maintain an adequate early warning system and failure to adequately investigate and discipline officers - caused the officer to shoot his friend. 

The City appealed to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which reversed the jury verdict and award. The appeals court found that although the injuries suffered by plaintiff from the shooting incident were grievous, the City was not responsible for the officer's actions, where the officer was acting as a private citizen and not as a City police officer. The Seventh Circuit noted that Section 1983 imposes liability only when a municipality has violated a federal right. Since none of the plaintiff's federal rights were violated, the court of appeals overturned the jury verdict against the City of Chicago.    

5.) FEB. 9, 2024, A DEFAULT WAS FILED AND A RACIST HISPANIC JUDGE MARITZA MARTINEZ ALLEGEDLY WANTING TO BE ACCEPTED ASSUMED THE AUTHORITY OF A JUDGE SEEKING TO SEE IF JUDGE IRIS Y CHIVIRA SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED FOR CAUSE BEING A FORMER ASSISTANT STATES ATTORNEY DURING THE TIME HER SUPERVISOR KANTAS (LAW LICENSE SUSPENDED FOR ANOTHER COURT MATTER) WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKDATING FRANCOISE'S ADULT DAUGHTER TO THE AGE OF A MINOR AROUND 11 OR 12 YEARS OF AGE.

6.) MARITZA DEMONSTRATED A VERY MASCULINE PERSONA INDIGNANT AS HELL DENIED MY MOTION TO DISQUALIFY CHIVIRA, BUT SHE NEVER HAD JURISDICTION OR AUTHORITY, I WAS GIVEN A COURT ORDER WITHOUT THE PRESIDING JUDGES SIGNATURE, SO THE CASE WAS GIVEN BACK TO CHIVIRA (WHICH NEVER LEFT HER BECAUSE MARITZA ALLEGEDLY RECEIVED FALSE INTEL ABOUT MY INTELLECT OF THE LAWS AND ITS APPLICATIONS) JUDGE CHIVIRA ALLEGEDLY SENT THE CASE TO JUDGE ARCE WHO SENT THE CASE TO PRESIDING JUDGE SCANNICCHIO WHO ASSIGNED THE CASE TO ANOTHER JUDGE FROM THE 30TH FLOOR JUDGE FORTI WHO IS THE ALLEGED FIXER IN THE DOMESTIC RELATIONS DIVISION.

8.) JUDGE FORTI IS NOT ONLY A RACIST BUT VERY MESSY AND IS FILLED WITH OVERT BIAS AND HATE, HE ACTS LIKE THE HOMOSEXUAL VERSION OF RAUL VEGA OMG THIS JUDGE HAD FEMALE ATTORNEYS CRYING ON THE ELEVATOR FEARING GOING IN HIS COURT, TRUST ME SOME MEXICAN JUDGES ARE JUST AS WORSE AS BLACKS IF YOU HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE IDENTIFIED AS A MEXICAN ONLY A CAUCASIAN.

    Attention Presiding Judge/Chief Judges of the Judicial Council/Federal Officials et al.

    Upon filing the aforementioned Notice all Clerks received the Respondent professionally and recorded what was being done and the case was looked up because Yolanda Simmons have never emailed a court order and the Clerk stated no orders were entered for May 9, 2025, but the computer reflects the case is OFF CALL!

    If Homosexuals, bisexuals are using their sexuality to conspire with racist or hateful judges and cover-up their crimes simply because they sleep with each other is a sickness and an Executive Order from President Trump forbidding said individuals from being in the judiciary needs to be implemented Instanter at least alleged heterosexual Caucasian judges admitted that my pleadings were true, I am just the wrong skin color to make allegations against white men that's how it is up here and that you are intelligent enough to possibly change this.

    Please find corroborating documents establishing the veracity Judge Forti and other judges violating the Civil Rights of litigants surpassing human imagination; thereby, further particularizing Federal Rule 8 and 9.

    1.)  That Page 5, Par 13 of the Summary Judgment is an admission demonstrating Blacks, Negros, Colored etc. have no authority over Anglo Saxon judges within the judiciary.
                             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
    2.) 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 5TH 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.

    3.) 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 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. 

    There is a 18 month Rule which can be extended if both parties agree in writing, or if the court finds "good cause" for an extension, even without agreement if Hon Edward Jordan was still around and presided over this matter this woman would not be experiencing this mess.

    Judge Forti has demonstrated a Prima Facie showing of Racism, Bias against a Black woman by immediately signing the court orders and they were recorded  same day, but he refuses to sign court orders in a matter where he is not able to bully or intimidate a Pro se litigant, by recusing himself on a case where Abbey Romanek was still the judge and it's ironic the very Black women Clerks who were outspoken about the improprieties on how he had the case last year are no longer in judge Forti's court a new younger woman Ebony and a Caucasian female.    

        That Fed Rule Civ P. 8 and 9 require plaintiffs to particularize their allegations of "fraud on the court" in as short, plain, and direct a way as is reasonable. To comply with these rules, the Court instructed plaintiffs to set out each judicial proceeding complained of, allege specific facts that make those proceedings "fraudulent" or otherwise improper, and name the particular judges and other individuals involved and the extent of their involvement in each claim of "fraudulent" or otherwise improper conduct. 

      The hate, racism and alleged homosexuality or fraternal memberships in this judiciary makes it impossible for a Heterosexual Freeman or woman or senior citizens to receive justice in this "Criminal Enterprise"

     In the 20th century, the Supreme Court began to overturn Jim Crow laws on constitutional grounds. In Buchanan v. Warley 245 US 60 (1917), the court held that a Kentucky law could not require residential segregation. The Supreme Court in 1946, in Irene Morgan v. Virginia ruled segregation in interstate transportation to be unconstitutional, in an application of the commerce clause of the Constitution. It was not until 1954 in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka 347 US 483 that the court held that separate facilities were inherently unequal in the area of public schools, effectively overturning Plessy v. Ferguson, and outlawing Jim Crow in other areas of society as well. This landmark case consisted of complaints filed in the states of Delaware (Gebhart v. Belton); South Carolina (Briggs v. Elliott); Virginia (Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County); and Washington, D.C. (Spottswode Bolling v. C. Melvin Sharpe). These decisions, along with other cases such as McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Board of Regents 339 US 637 (1950), NAACP v. Alabama 357 US 449 (1958), and Boynton v. Virginia 364 US 454 (1960), slowly dismantled the state-sponsored segregation imposed by Jim Crow laws.

       As the color line itself solidified at the turn of the nineteenth century, Jim Crow imposed on black people clear tactical disadvantages: restricted economic possibilities, narrow educational opportunities, inadequate housing options, high rates of death and disablement, persistent unemployment, and unrelenting poverty. Inasmuch as Jim Crow represented the race problem described by Gunnar Myrdal (18981987) in his 1944 treatise The American Dilemma, it was Jim Crow that created the race quandary; whites constructed the obstacles African Americans confronted, while also blaming them for their conditions, denying them access to the resources of problem solving, and daring themunder threat of violenceto complain, protest, or advance.

       Finally, protests or challenges to Jim Crow often proved futile, given law enforcements complicity in the structure. From emancipation to the turn of the century, the Ku Klux Klan operated as a paramilitary arm of the Democratic Party in the South. The Klan, nightriders, red shirts, and other white terrorists intimidated African Americans with personal attacks, school burnings, and lynchings. African Americans rarely served as policemen, sheriffs, or deputies before the late 1940s. During the 1950s and 1960s, the connections between municipal and state governments, law enforcement, and racial violence were well known by officials and citizens alike. White officers were known to harass black people, disrupt black neighborhoods, and assault black women. Arrested for inflated charges, denied satisfactory counsel, and serving harsh sentences, African Americans were further disadvantaged in the courtroom. Rarely did they receive good counsel, nor could they serve on juries. When black lawyers could appear in the courtroom to argue cases, white judges and juries rarely listened. All-white juries decided against black defendants, even in the most obvious cases of innocence, but rarely convicted white defendants, despite evidence of guilt. African Americansincluding the innocentsuffered the harsher punishments of extended jail time, forced farm labor, and peonage. Even women could be placed on the chain gangs working the roads and tracks across the South

    The Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, Wednesday April 26, 2006, Page 1, Illinois Political Machines help breed corruption, Associated Press writer Deanna Bellandi states, “Illinois is apparently a Petri dish for corruption. It is a real breeding ground”.         

     

    That Chicago is the most Corrupt City in America, Huffington Post, Internet Newspaper, February 23, 2012; University of Illinois Professor Dick Simpson, “The two worst crime zones in Illinois are the governor’s mansion….and the City Council Chambers in Chicago.” Simpson a former Chicago Alderman told the AP “no other State can match us.”   


    1.)  “Any judge who does not comply with his oath to the Constitution of the United States wars against that Constitution and engages in acts in violation of the Supreme Law of the Land. The judge is engaged in acts of treason. Having taken at least two, if not three oaths of office to support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the State of Illinois, any judge who has acted in violation of the Constitution is engaged in an act or acts of treason. If a judge does not fully comply with the Constitution, then his orders are void, In re Sawyer, 124 U.S. 200 (1888) he/she is without jurisdiction, and he/she has engaged in an act or acts of treason.”          

     

    2.)   A judge’s disrespect for the rules of court demonstrates disrespect for the law. Judges are disciplined under Canon 2A for violating court rules and procedures. Judge ignored mandated witness order in attempt to accommodate witnesses’ schedules; Citing Canon 2A the court noted, “[a] court’s indifference to clearly stated rules breeds disrespect for and discontent with our justice system. Government cannot demand respect of the laws by its citizens when its tribunals ignore those very same laws”)

     

    The U.S. Supreme Court, in Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232, 94 S. Ct. 1683, 1687 (1974) stated that "when a state officer acts under a state law in a manner violative of the Federal Constitution, he "comes into conflict with the superior authority of that Constitution, and he is in that case stripped of his official or representative character and is subjected in his person to the consequences of his individual conduct. The State has no power to impart to him any immunity from responsibility to the supreme authority of the United States." [Emphasis supplied in original].

     

    Under Federal law which is applicable to all states, the U.S. Supreme Court stated that if a court is "without authority, its judgments and orders are regarded as nullities. They are not voidable but simply void; and form no bar to a recovery sought, even prior to a reversal in opposition to them. They constitute no justification; and all persons concerned in executing such judgments or sentences, are considered, in law, as trespassers." Elliot v. Piersol, 1 Pet. 328, 340, 26 U.S. 328, 340 (1828)
