When all of the parties were present, Judge Winter instead of allowing the petitioner to present its case, demanded to make the determination if there was a emergency prior to allowing the petitioner to argue his case. It was obvious that Judge Winter was in the process of dismissing the petitioner's emergency without giving the petitioner his “day” in court. The Petitioner said to the judge,”Why don't you just dismiss the case without allowing me the opportunity to make any argument and I will take an immediate appeal!”
Judge Winter said,”Let the record show that the petitioner is pointing a finger at me and leaning toward me!”. At that point the petitioner made an oral motion for “substitution of judge for cause.” Judge Diane E. Winter then transferred to case to Judge Margaret J. Mullen for hearing on the substitution of judge for cause oral motion. Judge Mullen set a briefing schedule and July hearing date. SIDEBAR: The Petitioner served opposing counsel, who had been dodging service of an amended complaint name him as a necessary party in a 100 million dollar Malicious Prosecution Lawsuit, in open court and on the record.

CHICAGO-(AEAE)-AN ATTORNEY WAS DISBARRED BY THE BAR ASSOCIATION FOR “ONE” HOUR FOR SHOWING A FEMALE CLIENT A CELL PHONE PICTURE OF HIS GENITALS DURING A COURT HEARING. A mitigating circumstance was the admission by the attractive blond, female client, who was shown the genitals during the court hearing that she was not offended, having been a prostitute for ten years. The female client, admitted to the Bar Association Prosecutor that she was not quite sure what she was in fact seeing when the attorney handed her his cell phone showing her a photo of his genitals. A female court room bailiff who reported the incident, claimed she was having an affair with the attorney and took the photo of his genitals. For her part, the bailiff was suspended from work for a month without pay. A spokesman for the Bar Association said that they are being swamped with attorney disciplinary complaints and that the Bar Association felt the one hour agreed disbarment was a sufficient penalty under the circumstances to resolve the incident, which sends a strong message to other attorneys not to show clients pictures of their genitals during court appearances. The offending attorney was also ordered to perform 100 hours of pro bono work representing prostitutes who are unable to afford a lawyer. The attorney was permitted to have his law license reinstated after the hour disbarment had expired.   CHICAGO-(AEAE)-APPEALS HAVE JUST BEEN FILED INVOLVING ERRONEOUS DECISIONS MADE BY ILLINOIS CIRCUIT COURT JUDGES GEROLD BENDER, NAOMI H. SCHUSTER AND JEANNIE CLEVELAND BERSTEIN WITH THE ILLINOIS APPELLATE COURT FIRST DIVISION. The Illinois Constitution Article VI Section 6 provides that any Illinois citizen has an “automatic right to appeal a final decision by a Illinois Circuit Court Judge to the Appellate Court. Stoller requested leave from Judge Bender to file such an appeal. Judge Bender ignored the Illinois Constitution and the U.S. Constitution, which provides a party with the right to appeal and denied the request to file an appeal. Stoller asked Judge Bender to give him leave to appeal the denial decision, Judge Bender denied that request too. Stoller appealed that decision and moved for substitution of judge (SOJ) Bender on the grounds that he is bias and prejudice and that he cannot get a fair and impartial hearing before him. The SOJ was transferred to Judge Naomi H. Schuster who set the hearing on the SOJ on the same date and time that Stoller was appearing before Judge Lee Preston. Judge Schuster refused to move the SOJ hearing on Bender to another date, Stoller moved for SOJ of judge Schuster. The Schuster SOJ was assigned to Judge Jeannie Cleveland Bernstein. Judge Bernstein without even reading Stoller complete Motion for SOJ and Memorandum which had the support of a recent U.S. Supreme Court Decision, said, “In you divorce proceeding were you granted an SOJ?” Opposing counsel replied, “Stoller had one SOJ, he is not entitled to another automatic change of judge.” Judge Bernstein said, “You SOJ of Judge Schuster is denied.” Stoller asked her for leave to appeal Judge Bernstein said, “I don't care what you do!” In the following case a pro se party was also asking Judge Bernstein for an SOJ. Judge Bernstein granted it saying this is a “post decree” request for SOJ and you are entitled to receive one automatic change of Judge.” Stoller re-approached the bench and informed Judge Bernstein that he also was involved in a post decree proceeding and like wise was entitled as a matter of law to a substitution of Judge Schuster.” Judge Bernstein said, “Stoller you're appealing my decision.” “Stoller replied, “Why should we waist the the time of the Appellate Court with a appeal of a decision which is reversible?” Judge Bernstein said, “Appeal it”!
