10/17/2007 | Complaint to Foreclose Mortgage 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
See pp. 1-4 of this 96-page PDF Public Records request. This filing is called the "NON OWNER OCCUPIED SINGLE FAMILY HOME OR CONDOMINIUM - FILED" on the Court's Chancery docket, but a document, titled "CONTRACT COMPLAINT FILED" was filed on the same date in the Law Division (same case number). This appears to be the self-same document. NOTE: GMAC v. Daniggelis, 2007-CH-29738, is currently in both the Chancery Division (which was appealed to the First Appellate Court) and in the Law Division. That this same case number is in 2 divisions is a constant source of confusion to the clerks in both divisions, as I personally recall, based on numerous phone conversations with many clerks, who often reply along the line of: "No, that is a Chancery case, since it has 'CH' in its title." -- Me: "Yes, it is a Law Division case; it's in both divisions: look at the dockets, if you don't believe me" ~Editor, Gordon W.

Indyke, below. Comments: Associate Judge, Mathias William DeLort (who was later promoted to the 6th Division of the ILLINOIS First District Appellate Court) royally chews out Richard B. Daniggelis' attorney, Andjelko Galic (who, by the way, is working pro bono, i.e., for free) for focusing too much on invalidating the actual underlying forclosure suit through, as I read it, a supposed lack of standing by questioning ownership based on a spotty record of written transfer documents (including, of course, the infamous "Linda Green" assignment fraud issues) --instead of focusing on the actual mortgage fraud in question, which, of course, was the illegal transfer of title from Daniggelis to Younes, without any payment to Daniggelis, and by clear & obvious used of a "photocopy forgery-fraud" signature, and for purposes other than the mere refinancing for which Daniggelis initial sought help. I agree with Judge DeLort: Galic, however well-meaning, focused on the wrong thing. ~Editor |

2/15/2013 | ANSWER FILED 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Participant: DANIGGELIS RICHARD |
Comments: Defendant's reply in support of his prior motion for summary judgment, in which he discusses case law surrounding admission of fact. Here, Atty. Galic argues that the "Corrective Mortgage Assignment" (from GMAC to LaSalle) can not retroactively give the latter standing to sue if it was executed several years after the lawsuit was filed. However, Judge DeLort, in his 07/24/2012 order, had already warned Galic that the chain of custody in the written transfer documents was not a problem for standing to prosecute a mortgage forclosure suit. One can only wonder why Galic, in his 02/15/2013 motion here, did not heed the Judge's warnings, the year before (read: Free Legal Advice from a judge!) on which tact to take! ~Editor |

Comments: Here (on page 1 of this 2-page document), Atty. Galic certifies that he a partial reply to the Plaintiff's response to his motion to strike the Affidavit of Rashad Blanchard and the Certification of Richard Handville. For some reason, however, I didn't get a copy of Galic's actual reply & exhibits that he filed on 02/26/2013, in my public records request. I'm guessing this was a clerical error: The clerks in all three (3) divisions [Chancery, Civil, & Law Divisions] with which I've done business have been nothing short of excellent in granting timely Public Records requests, and complying with the Illinois State law in this regard. One only wishes "cops & courts" (policemen & judges) were even half as honest. See the court's records for any further official documents that might be missing here. ~Editor |
3/8/2013 | MOTION TO - DENIED 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Participant: GMAC MORTGAGE LC |
Comments: For some reason, this entry appears on the court's docket twice (duplicate or identical entries LOL), so I'm listing it twice. However, besides that, this order is exceptionally lengthy & long for a typical trial court order, at nine (9) pages. Moreover, as I discuss below, this order is probably the most unusual order I've ever seen, (which is why I'm using red font, yellow background, & generous use of boldface, underline, & italics, for this docket entry) insofar as the judge, citing the facts and relevant case law, proves *conclusively* that there is indeed mortage fraud -- and then turns right around and says that there isn't mortgage fraud! Odd, yes! So, this entry bears repeating, and I shall do so: see below... ~Editor |
3/8/2013 | MOTION TO - DENIED 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Participant: GMAC MORTGAGE LC |
** Court Room: 2804 ** Comments:
To begin with, the trial court judge (Associate Judge, Hon. Michael F. Otto, #2065, Chancery Division) pins his hopes of making his case by citing
LaSalle Bank v Ferone, 384 Ill. App.3d 239, 892 NE2d 585, 322 Ill. Dec 948 (2nd Dist. Ill. App. Ct. 2008), a 2008 case
arising out of the Appellate Court of Illinois, Second District. Judge Otto also rightly states that the elderly victim, Mr. Richard B. Daniggelis,
claimed that he was a victim of a mortgage rescue fraud scheme, and LaSalle Bank, cited in the "Background" section of Judge Otto's order,
here, indeed deals with that issue; here is the court's key finding:
"In this mortgage foreclosure action, defendant, Catherine Ferone, appeals the judgment of the circuit court of Du Page County, granting summary judgment in favor of plaintiff, LaSalle Bank, as to her affirmative defense. On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court erred in finding that (1) plaintiff was a bona fide mortgagee for value because plaintiff did not have actual or constructive notice of defendant's interest in the subject property or of the fraud that defendant Marc J. Biagini perpetrated on defendant; and (2) Biagini's fraud was fraud in the inducement rather than fraud in the execution. We reverse and remand." * First, let's look at Judge Otto's findings, and then let's compare them to the relevant case-law, above, shall we? Otto's order (p.2) admits that Daniggelis, who fell behind on his mortgage payments, signed a limited POA (Power of Attorney) and signed a warranty deed for help (see Oder, p.4) "to pay the arrearages" (i.e., to get help refinancing). Otto also admit (Order, p.1) that Daniggelis "asserts that in 2006," Shelton, Rhone, & Younes duped him into signing over the deed under the guise of forclosure resuce. Interestingly enough, here is a direct quote from the bottom of p.1 of Otto's 03-08-2014 order, here: "They then subsequently misused that deed, along with a power of attorney Daniggelis had executed to Rhone, to effectuate a sale to Younes without Daniggelis's consent." Otto does not say, here, that Daniggelis "claims" or "asserts" that they misued the POA and deed; rather, Otto's order states that: "They then subsequently misused that deed..." (Whether this is a mere typo, or, instead, a "Freudian slip," where Otto admits that Daniggelis' claim of fraud is correct, it is unknown, but an interesting 'typo,' if, indeed, that's what it is.) Addressing Daniggelis' complaints, however, Otto finds as follows: On pp.4-5, Otto admits that Daniggelis made complaints for Invalid Deed (count I), Invalid POA (count II), recission based on unjust enrichment (count III), and [skipping a 'count IV'], that Daniggelis seeks to quiet title in himself (count V) based on Rhone's and Shelton's fraud agaibst LaSalle. Otto acknowledges other motions, which (for the purposes of discussion here) are not relevant. So, what is odd, here? In the 02-15-2013 order, Judge Otto granted summary judgment to Younes for Counts I, II, & V of Daniggelis' claim (see above). So, let's see if Otto's Order on 02-15-2013 holds water: * Invalid Deed (count I) -- Otto admit (Order, p.4) that the July 9, 2006 warranty deed "is in most respects identical" to the May 9, 2006 warranty deed that Daniggelis signed (except, of course, for the word 'July' being hand-written in), which supports the claims that there was a photocopy forgery. This is plain on its face: Since no mere mortal can sign his/her name exactly the same, then photocopy forgery is obvious to all but the blind, deaf, & dumb -- and the dishonest who refuse to admit. * Invalid Deed (count I) -- Moreover, Otto admits (Order, p.4) that: "In April 2007, Daniggelis filed a Notice of Forgey with the Recorder of Deeds, stating that the deed filed in August 2006 [i.e., the ony dated "July 9, 2006"] was a forgery." Otto further admits that: "Daniggelis contends that the deed he signed in May 2006 was intended to take effect only if the property was sold on or before May 31, 2006. He claims that the July 2006 closing took place without his awareness or consent." * Invalid POA (count II) -- Next, Otto admits (Order, p.4) that 'Exhibit L' exists in one filing, which is a handwritten note, and Otto admits that Daniggelis takes credit for this allegedly unsigned note, in which Daniggelis clearly states that he signed papers **only** to pay arrearages (i.e., to help with his refinanancing difficulties). [Even if it was unsigned at the time, Daniggelis takes credit for it, and, by virtue of his attorney entering it into the record as an exhibit, he signs it, which is further support of his claims of fraudulant misuse of a POA.] NOTE: Apparently, Otto did not see the exhibits filed in Daniggelis' July 30, 2008 answer (see pages 38 and 40 of the 96-page PDF file of a public records request at this link, where both Shelton and Rhone sign on to such statements, and Daniggelis also signs them: these contracts place limits on both the time and purpose of the POA). So, this conclusively proves the POA to be fraudulantly used. * Recission based on unjust enrichment (count III) -- The recors is clear that both the co-consipritors (Rhone, Shelton, & Younes), as well as the bank, eventually had notice of the fraud. While the 'enrichment' (fees for extending a loan) were most likely ordinary (and not probably neither exorbitant nor usurous interest & fees), nonetheless, they became 'unjust' enrichment the moment the bank had notice that the underlying transaction was fraudulent. * Quiet Title (count V) -- Whether the bank knew immediately -- or not -- nonetheless, the fact remains: Rhone, Shelton, & Younes fraudulently used both the POA and the forged warranty deed. (The POA was used for a purpose outside it's "limited POA" scope, and outside the allowed time-frame; and, the 2nd warranty deed, which was outside the legal time-frame of the POA, was clearly forged via a photocopy and a whiteout & alteration of the date.) Thus, Daniggelis is entitled, as a matter of law, to have the title quited in himself -- i.e., to have his house & land, which was taken without any payment to him, whatsoever -- returned to him. The bank's motion for summary judgment was a "Cleotex-type" Motion, that is, the bank merely alleged that Daniggelis lacked sufficient evidence to prove his claim, rather than use the "traditional test" of affirmatively disproving Daniggelis' claim by introducing damning evidence that, if uncontroverted, would prove the banks is entitled to Summary Judgement. I.e., the bank used a "weak" argument to make its case. Since Daniggelis was (is) entitled to Summary Judgment against Rhone, Shelton, & Younes (and possibly also Stewart Title, who I'm told payed out a claim), this would "moot" the bank's motion here, and they would only be able to make a claim against Rhone, Shelton, & Younes (and possibly Stewart Title) for losses. ~Editor |

5/29/2015 | REVIEWING COURT ORDER RECEIVED, Court Room: 2403 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Appeals court denies bond, since no stay was entered, but (and this is very scary!) appellee (e.g., plaintiff, GMAC, the bank) is free to pursue removal of elderly victim of mortgage fraud. Why is this scary? Well: The plaintiff, GMAC, is excused (see point #3 of this order finding there are no pending claims against GMAC, which - of course - would be impossible had they kicked Daniggelis out of his home). Even more frightening: The trial court apparently used this order as an excuse to simply steal Daniggelis' house and give it to Atty. Younes, even tho no one in their right mind would accept their implied claim that Daniggelis just "gave it away" for free - and lost several hundred thousands of dollars of equity. Worse yet: My pleadings showed the court duplicate signatures --something that both of Daniggelis' attorneys overlooked -- which, of course, can only happen via photocopy (you CAN NOT sign your name exactly the same twice in a row), translation: Photocopy, thus felony forgery fraud. ~~Editor | |

Judge: APPELLATE COURT |
Motions for waiver of court fees; leave for Amicus; and Motion to Supplement Record Instanter ~~ Supporting Record ~~ Proposed Orders. Note: filed on 8/16, but docketed on 8/17. The court entered this ruling on Sept. 11, 2015. |
8/21/2015 | NOTICE OF MOTION FILED 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
The court's date (8/21) is slightly later than the actual filing (8/16), as with other filings. The court did not follow the rules
and allow Mr. Watts to appear telephonically (as the rules of the IL Supreme court allow) either this time or any other time: See Art. II, Rule 185
(Telephone Conferences), R.Civ. Proceedings in the Trial Court, Rule 206(h)(Remote Electronic Means Depositions), etc. ~ Moreover, the online docket,
for reasons unknown to myself, do not reflect the “Motion for leave
to file Supplemental Record,” or the proposed order, just the
Notice of Motion. However, since I did not know if my items were received or not (due to the docketing error, listing Atty. Galic as the filer), I refiled on 9/10/2015: see below. ~Editor, Gordon W. Watts |

9/10/2015 | Court's Docket does not have an entry on this date 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
I re-sent copies of the "8/21/2016" filings above, noting that they were being resent because the court had lost most stuff! In addition, I included a Time-Sensitive Judicial Notice of Adjudicative Facts – in semi-Emergency Fashion by OVERNIGHT FedEx and a Proposed Order for this case. -- NOTE: Looking above at the 8/21 entry (Notice of Motion) I gave the court timely notice of my intent to appear telephonically as the rules permit, but the court saw fit to disobey the rules. FedEx certified that my overnight deliveries to Craig in the Motions Department, who asked me to put it to his attention to that it didn't get lost again. (But it did!) | |
10/29/2015 | EXHIBITS FILED 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Since the docket reflected Atty. Andjelko Galic as the filer for the 08/21/2015 items (above), I thought that my filings were lost, and I
resent them to the court (as described in my 10/29/2015 'correspondence' below). The "8/21/2015" entry and the "9/10/2015" entries were either lost or
docketed incorrectly (or both!), but "the 3rd time will be a charm," and I think that these items were finally received and reviewed by the court. To see the items filed, please refer to the 08/10/2015, 08/21/2015, and 09/10/2015 docket entries above.

11/23/2015 | MEMORANDUM OF LAW FILED 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Docket says: "Participant: DANIGGELIS RICHARD," but the image is not available without a laborious, costly, and lengthy public
records request. UPDATE: I just purchased public records from the court. Holy cow!? Did you read that!? Atty. Galic admits, in so many words, that - basically - NO ONE has any earthly idea why the case was transferred (see point 3.) from the Chancery Division to the Law Division -- and that many records have been lost (see point 2.). My legal analyses: The cross-claims of Atty. Younes, basically claiming that the elderly, 76-year-old defendant, Mr. Daniggelis, signed over his house, and just gave it to him - and gave up the hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity that others admit was lost, should not have been addressed in Chancery. The Chancery Division is a court of equities, and should have addressed the GMAC foreclosure complaint - and nothing else. The 'Contract Law' case, which is now in the Law division, was probably a more appropriate forum for such a complaint. Caveat: I'm not a lawyer. ~~Editor, Gordon W. Watts |

signature confirmation and tracking for both
the filing to Judge OTTO as well as
the filing to the Clerk of the CHANCERY DIVISION of
the Cook County, IL trial court. Not on docket as yet... (but should appear on docket soon - if the court/clerks don't lose my mail/filings once

Priority Overnight to the Chancery
Division or the Judge's chambers!?
~ Editor, Gordon W. Watts
UPDATE: I just spoke with Gerald Jones, Assistant Chief Deputy Clerk in CHANCERY, and he confirms my pleadings arrived safely. Gerald and his team are good guys who try to serve the public, even with the heavy workload they have. (I only wish the judges took their jobs as seriously.) Additionally, the U.S. Post Office confirms that both the service copy to Judge Otto (signed for by: 'J OBELHEIDE') and the service copy to the CHANCERY clerks (signed for by: 'G JONES') were received and signed for, and arrived safely. PS: There is one small typo in my filing: I erroneously claim, on p.3, that I was finally able to file on August 10, 2005, but this is a clear typo: The case didn't even start until 2007, and I clearly meant that I was able to procure public records & file on Aug.10, 2015, not 2005. Sorry about that; however, this is the only 'major' typo (that changes the meaning) that I find after proof-reading.

and has 'MISCELLANEOUS MOTION - ALLOWED -' as its title with 'Court Room: 2804' and 'Judge: OTTO, MICHAEL F.' in the notes section. ~~Editor ** Official Court Docket ** Cache: courtesy The Register ** Screen shot (PDF format) ** Screen shot (Portable Network Gaphics *.png image format) ** Screen shot ("Jay Peg" *jpg image format) ** |

01/06/2016 (listed as: '1/14/2016' on court docket, and time-stamped as '2016 JAN 15 PM 4:07,' but it's truly dated 01/06/2015, since the U.S. Post Office stamp is what officially dates the filing, according to the rules of the court on timeliness: Rule 373. Date of Filing Papers in Reviewing Court; Certificate or Affidavit of Mailing) |
NOTICE OF APPEAL 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis
UPDATE: received by Court: |
Notice of Appeal. NOTE: This notice contains several items, which are procedural and statutory requirements,
but they're bundled together for the sake of simplicity: NOTICE OF APPEAL; NOTICE OF FILING; REQUEST FOR PREPARATION OF RECORD ON APPEAL; Rule 321
MOTION (SUGGESTION) TO BOTH COURTS to “Order Less”; and, "Rule 298. Application for Waiver of Court Fees," and, of course, the "CERTIFICATE
AND AFFIDAVIT OF DELIVERY (aka: Certificate of Service)." ALSO: Since the courts keep losing my filings, and/or docketing them at a time different than
the legal postal stamp (which is the standard for the timing issue), I'm including this scanned image to verify that I filed these using 2-day priority
mail from the U.S. Postal Service:
receipt-2007-CH-29738-Wednesday06January2016-NOTICE-of-APPEAL-GordonWayneWatts.jpg. PS: Here's helpful “mortgage foreclosure-rescue fraud” case law re physical possession of property in both *.html Web-Page and PDF format, which suggests that the continued open and visible possession of the home by the scammed homeowner (Mr. Daniggelis') after being duped by the foreclosure rescue operator(s) may be sufficient to charge those subsequently acquiring title and security interests in the home with notice of the fraud, and thereby disqualifying them from bona fide purchaser status. DELIVERY NOTES: As of today, Wednesday, 13 January 2016, I note that I mailed all items on Jan.06, 2016, and got them postmarked. Both the Appeals Court and Judge Michael Otto got their copies, but there was a problem with the Civil Appeals Division copy, even though it was indeed addressed correctly. After some calls to the Post Office, I was finally able to convince them to both deliver it and get it signed for by a 'George Aridas,' who works in the mail room. So, my appeal, since it was time-stamped on time, is timely, and not late, according to Court Rules: Illinois Supreme Court Rule 373 says that they're ontime if they're postmarked on the due date, and, if they were "received after the due date, the time of mailing, or the time of delivery to a third-party commercial carrier for delivery to the clerk within three business days, shall be deemed the time of filing." (Rule 373. Date of Filing Papers in Reviewing Court; Certificate or Affidavit of Mailing) -- Since I used 2-Day Priority Mail, this qualifies, as "for delivery to the clerk within three business days," even if it actually took longer.

01/15/2016 | Letter from Appellate Court
Steven M. Ravid, Clerk SMR/pal 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis
UPDATE: received by Court: |
Letter tells me I have to file Notice of Appeal with Circuit Court (Civil Appeals Division, Hon. Patricia O'Brien, Chief Deputy Clerk,
presiding; PH: 312-603-5406). I know that, hello!? However, pursuant to Rule 303(c)Service of Notice of Appeal: “The party filing the notice of appeal or
an amendment as of right, shall, within 7 days, file a notice of filing with the reviewing court...," that is, the appeals court, here which is what
I did. So, why the concern?
Note to self: I just got a call from Robt. J. More, another litigant in this case, alleging that the Chancery Court has
incurred Felony Criminal liability for helping steal Mr. Daniggelis' home, and, in support of this, has cited Fayerweather v. Ritch, 195 U.S. 276;
25 S.Ct. 58; 49 L.Ed. 193, which holds that Daniggelis was deprived of Substantive Due Process because "we held that a judgment of a state court might be
here reviewed if it operated to deprive a party of his property without due process of law, and that the fact that the parties were properly brought into
court and admitted to make defense was not absolutely conclusive upon the question of due process...'The mere form of the proceeding instituted against
the owner, even if he be admitted to defend, cannot convert the process used into due process of law, if the necessary result be to deprive him of his
property without compensation.' If a judgment of a state court can be reviewed by this court on error upon the ground that, although the forms of law were
observed, it necessarily operated to wrongfully deprive a party of his property (as indicated by the decision just referred to), a judgment of the circuit
court of the United States, claimed to give such unwarranted effect to a decision of a state court as to accomplish the same result, may also be
considered as presenting the question how far it can be sustained in the view of the prohibitory language of the 5th Amendment, and thus involve the
application of the Constitution."
Note: "the forms of law were observed" refers to Procedural Due Process (PDP), whilst the obvious theft of Daniggelis' house refers to a lack of
Substantive Due Process (SDP). So, the Supreme Court, above, apparently is saying that it's possible for a court to give PDP while, at the same time,
depriving someone of SDP. The Court went on to say: "Upon what is this contention based? First, the silence of the judgment, which contains no findings to
indicate upon what it is based...," which suggests that the Illinois Courts' lack of explaining its ruling was a violation of PDP, strengthening the claim
the end result was a violation of SDP. Note: The Court's comment about "testimony of the trial judge, given on the hearing in this case some six
years after his decision in the state court" suggests that state court judges may, indeed, be compelled to testify in Federal Court. Hmm...?
My thoughts: This pits Judicial Immunity against 42 U.S. 1983 violations for deprivations of Daniggelis under colour of law. This would be a hard
thing to litigate, given the current political environment, but given the fact that the various courts did not offer any legal justification for
snatching away Daniggelis' property (with hundreds of thousands of dollars of equity in it) and giving it away to one of their colleagues (fellow-attorney,
Joseph Younes), this is suspicious at the least-and smacks of cronyism and "Chicago-style" backroom deals, even if no actual Quid Pro Quo bribe was given:
If the courts thought they were justified in doing so, one would think that they would offer some sort of explanation, even if it was a bad one, but, so
far as I can tell from the court record, they offered |

***MISC.MOTION(SET FOR MOTION HEARING) 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Participant: MOORE ROBERT |
The docket lists Mr. Robert J. More like this, misspelling his last name. Why would judge Otto set this for a hearing if he didn't set my more serious and applicable motions for a hearing? (This is within the court's discretion.) Also, since More admitted that he's trespassed, banned, & barred from the courthouse (read his motion carefully), why would the court even entertain such a motion? (Do the court or judge even read this stuff?) More-importantly, however, why did the court outright steal Mr. Daniggelis' home and give it to Mr. Younes without any compensation?? ~Editor |
02/11/2016 | 298
Petition 2007-CH-29738 CHANCERY DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Participant: UNKNOWN/WATTS |
After many screw-ups, not the least of which includes the court stealing Daniggelis' home and property, and giving it to a local rich
lawyer for no legal reason (and not compensating Daniggelis for it), the court then ignored my Rule 298 poverty declaration. (See the bottom of page
2, of the 01/14/2016 Notice of Appeal - scroll up just a few notches - where I clearly stated, in the header "Rule 298. Application for Waiver of Court
Fees," a statement that I qualify for Waiver of Court fees.) However, Patricia O'Brien, the Chief Deputy Clerk of the CIVIL APPEALS DIVISION said I needed specific paperwork filled out. When I asked her what it was, she did not know, and said each division is different, and to check with Chancery. After many calls, I finally got a hold of Chief Deputy Clerk, Cynthia M. Eddington, who sent me this court form, which I promptly filled out and then mailed back to Chancery, as I was asked to do. Ms. Eddington promises to forward this promptly to Judge Otto, who we expect will rule on it, one way or the other. After all the screw-ups and lost paperwork (not to mention theft of my friend's house for no legal reason - and without compensation), you can bet that we will be tracking this package more-so than NORAD track's Santa's sleigh as it flies on Christmas night! (Maybe, this time, we will get justice. We will see.) ~Editor UPDATE: As of today, Wed. 02-17-2016, FedEx reports that my poverty declaration was received & signed for late yesterday - apparently by Ms. Eddington. ~Editor |

Microfilm: LD000000000 Participant: WATTS GORDON WAYNE |
Order from Law Division judge on the 02/11/2016 poverty application in this Chancery case. Order reads: "PETITIONER LACKS STANDING TO BRING SUIT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER." Two things wrong with this: First, why is a Law Division judge ruling on this matter. I know that this case was transferred to the law division, but the appeal is from the underlying Chancery Division. However, what is even more troubling is the clear obvious fact: The judge is either unwilling or unable to read: I did not bring suit on behalf of ANYONE, but rather filed a friend of the court brief with the appropriate motion to supplement the record on appeal. #BigDifference - #LearnToRead - #HonestyPlease - #LiberalActivistJudges One last thing: Since there was probably only a small chance that the appeals court (who also was unfriendly regarding supplementing the record) would likely have upheld the unjust rulings in question, I don't see why this judge did not simply follow State Law regarding 298 Poverty applications, and simply forward on the appeal. He must have been really paranoid: It's not like it would have used that much judicial resources to address what, clearly, was/is a grave injustice in the theft of Mr. Daniggelis' house, without any compensation to him, whatsoever.~Editor |

See pp. 1-4 of this 96-page PDF Public Records request. This filing is called the "NON OWNER OCCUPIED SINGLE FAMILY HOME OR CONDOMINIUM - FILED" on the Court's Chancery docket, but a document, titled "CONTRACT COMPLAINT FILED" was filed on the same date in the Law Division (same case number). This appears to be the self-same document. NOTE: GMAC v. Daniggelis, 2007-CH-29738, is currently in both the Chancery Division (which was appealed to the First Appellate Court) and in the Law Division. That this same case number is in 2 divisions is a constant source of confusion to the clerks in both divisions, as I personally recall, based on numerous phone conversations with many clerks, who often reply along the line of: "No, that is a Chancery case, since it has 'CH' in its title." -- Me: "Yes, it is a Law Division case; it's in both divisions: look at the dockets, if you don't believe me" ~Editor, Gordon W.

Court Fee: $230.oo. *** (No image available on this docket; see court's official docket or the clerk for this filing. ~Editor) *** NOTE: A jury trial was requested, way back in 2012, as it's a legal right, and yet, even as late as 2017, still no jury trial, and still no justice. (Please note that the house was stolen with the assistance of an illegal ruling by Judge Otto, and this judge did not require a 'jury trial' to illegally steal the house and land from Mr. Daniggelis and give it to Atty. Younes. So, I ask: Why should Mr. Daniggelis be required to "jump through the hoops" for a jury trial to get justice here?? ~Editor) |

For reasons which are unclear to this writer, Hon. Judge Jacobius transferred this case from Chancery out to Law. (Order states: "Foreclosure Counts Dismissed," but why could Chancery not handle the other issues? *** PDF format *** *.PNG image *** *tif image *** Additionally, why does the court's own docket list Judge Flannery for this, when the image names Judge Otto and Judge Jacobius? (Perhaps is was because Judge Flannery was the chief judge in the Law Division.) Lastly, why are two time-stamp dates on this order, one for Aug.7 and one for Aug.12? Perhaps each judge "signed off" on this order at different times. |

Additionally, he has plenary rights as an Amicus Curiae, as Watts, himself argues here. So, the court is without excuse in denying Watts and More participation. Lastly, Watts - like Mr. More - is attempting to help Daniggelis get his house back, and is on the same side as Atty. Galic. |

Motion for
Rehearing 2007-CH-29738 LAW DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis
UPDATE: received by Court: |
This is my motion for rehearing. It's on its way to the court, as I speak. ~~Editor UPDATE: My motion for rehearing was signed for and received on Monday, December 21, 2015 at 3:54 pm (CST) in CHICAGO, IL 60602 by a "J DUK" (or: 'KUK' - see handwriting) in Judge Tailor's chambers, in suite #1912, and it was also signed for and received on Tuesday, on December 22, 2015 at 11:42 am in CHICAGO, IL 60602 by a "G (George) ARIDAS" in the Law Division at the Circuit Court in 50 W. Washington Street. Tho they were received after the Wednesday, 12/16/2015 deadline, they were not late: Illinois Supreme Court Rule 373 says that they're ontime if they're postmarked on the due date, and, if they were "received after the due date, the time of mailing, or the time of delivery to a third-party commercial carrier for delivery to the clerk within three business days, shall be deemed the time of filing." (Rule 373. Date of Filing Papers in Reviewing Court; Certificate or Affidavit of Mailing) -- Since I used 2-Day Priority Mail, this qualifies, as "for delivery to the clerk within three business days," even if it actually took longer. Even if they actually get their after their intended date, then, since, of course, both Judge Tailor's copy and the Law Division's copy were sent via "Priority Mail 2-Day," then they are timely, and not late. (The rule only demands that they were sent "for delivery to the clerk within three business days," not necessarily 'actually' delivered within that time, and 2-day priority easily meets that standard. (But since the clerk's office keeps losing stuff, and then, even when it arrives, judges hand down "bone-headed" rulings, reminiscent of the infamous 'Dred Scot' ruling, I don't know how much I can trust them to deem my filings as timely!) Actually, since you don't count the day of the act (or weekends), then Thursday was day-1, Friday was day-2, and Monday was day-3, and thus the judge (and thus, the court) got my motion for rehearing ontime, and not late. Actually, I waited until the "last minute" to file it because neither the court, clerk, nor lawyer who proposed this ruling (who actually had the legal duty of service) served me a copy of the court's ruling. Can you say 'comedy of errors!' UPDATE: As of today, Friday, 08 January 2016, my motion for rehearing is still Lost & Missing: not on docket. However, while I think they're normally not supposed to do this, Pam Sumpter, in the Law Division, was good enough to ask me to email her the stuff that they lost three (3) other times: I sent the judge's chambers a copy of my Rehearing Motion, as well as the Law Division, and I even emailed them a courtesy copy. I hope that this time (the 4th time) they get it right, docket it, and that the judge doesn't enter another bone-headed ruling in this time-sensitive, life-or-death case! ~Gordon W. Watts UPDATE: As of yesterday, Tuesday, 12 January 2016, the Law Division finally docketed my motion for rehearing, here, but dates it as '12/21/2016,' and the entry is below. Editor, ~Gordon W.

I wasn't planning on filing 'exhibits,' but when emailing my filing in to replace that which they lost, I included the various
US Postal Service tracking proofs of delivery (screenshot of tracking page, and also signed receipt). W. Pam Sumpter, the Law Division clerk, asked me
if I wanted to file them. At first, I said to myself 'no,' but after pondering that I needed proof of delivery when "fighting the 'Chicago Machine'," I
had a change of heart, and told her 'yes.' -- I am awaiting official receipt of this public records request, which is

Order from Law Division judge on the 02/11/2016 poverty application in this Chancery case. Order reads: "PETITIONER LACKS STANDING TO BRING SUIT ON
BEHALF OF ANOTHER." Two things wrong with this: First, why is a Law Division judge ruling on this matter. I know that this case was transferred to the law division, but the appeal is from the underlying Chancery Division. However, what is even more troubling is the clear obvious fact: The judge is either unwilling or unable to read: I did not bring suit on behalf of ANYONE, but rather filed a friend of the court brief with the appropriate motion to supplement the record on appeal. #BigDifference - #LearnToRead - #HonestyPlease - #LiberalActivistJudges One last thing: Since there was probably only a small chance that the appeals court (who also was unfriendly regarding supplementing the record) would likely have upheld the unjust rulings in question, I don't see why this judge did not simply follow State Law regarding 298 Poverty applications, and simply forward on the appeal. He must have been really paranoid: It's not like it would have used that much judicial resources to address what, clearly, was/is a grave injustice in the theft of Mr. Daniggelis' house, without any compensation to him, whatsoever.~Editor |

MOTION TO INTERVENE BY INTERVENOR, GORDON
WAYNE WATTS 2007-CH-29738 LAW DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |

The law clearly allows me to Intervene, so I was stupid to ignore this option early-on, but I was simply hoping that an Amicus
Curiae ("Friend of the Court" brief) would be less invasive and more acceptable. Not sure why Illinois courts seem to hate Amici briefs,
but it is what it is. FILED: Along with a Notice of Motion,

07/10/2017 | DISMISS BY STIPULATION OR AGREEMENT 2007-CH-29738 LAW DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Participant: DANIGGELIS RICHARD |
*** PDF file *** *.tif image *** As I read the Order, there was not stipulation or agreement by any of the parties for dismissal. The only 2 reasons given were #1: Body Attachment to issue subpoena to John LaRocque could not be completed (allegedly, due to a combination bad police and/or flee-and-elude absconder who hides), and #2: Attorney for Counter-Plaintiff, Richard B. Daniggelis, misrepresented his client's ability to show up for court. Neither of these 2 reasons are legally sufficient to dismiss: Punishing the litigant for bad attorney, when litigant (victim) clearly (repeatedly) asked for trial denies Due Process. Secondly, punishing victim for bad behaviour on the part of flee-and-elude absconder and scammer "bad guy" and/or bad police is a clear and present egregious violation of Due Process, and makes a mockery of justice. BONUS #3: Even assuming Daniggelis or his attorney were bad guys, my own Intervention is of right, and, like the case-law cited by the judge, trial court is also without discretion to grant Intervention and subsequent review of my complaint. But, looking at docket, since I'm finally a named defendant, it seems that the judge did (in name, at least) grant me Intervention. I hope to have substance, not name only, to my complaint, since the frauds committed were no small laughing matter, the theft of a home and land, all without ANY payment, and thru a forged signature. It would be odd if Daniggelis won his case because I intervened, when he might have otherwise lost due to a combination of bad counsel and bad prior rulings (unjust judges). For the record, even with all Atty. Galic's oversights, and with all due respect to Judge Otto, nonetheless, I can not see how Judge Otto legally transferred title to Joseph Younes: No legal basis for transfer existed, and this was a clear egregious example of an exercise of judicial brute force, no more. |
07/10/2017 | VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL W/LEAVE TO REFILE-DENIED 2007-CH-29738 LAW DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Participant: DANIGGELIS RICHARD |
*** PDF file *** *.tif image *** While I must take the word of the trial judge, here, regarding the facts, her case law seems sound, if, in fact, Atty. Galic neither paid required court filing costs for defendant, nor given notice to the parties of record. Thus, he would not be permitted to voluntarily dismiss & refile. (And, I don't know why he would want to do so!? As it stands, he has a solid case to make a motion for summary judgment in favour of Daniggelis for both return of his stolen house, as well as a judgment to compensate for damages & loss that he's incurred.) |
07/10/2017 | CONTINUANCE - DENIED 2007-CH-29738 LAW DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Participant: DANIGGELIS RICHARD |
*** PDF file *** *.tif image *** If Daniggelis was, in fact, in court, as the trial judge admits, why not have a trial right then and there? To both deny trial AND deny continuance (e.g., to dismiss) is a denial of Daniggelis' Due Process rights of Redress and also implicates Equal Protection, assuming arguendo that we can accept that a richer litigant would have gotten a better attorney and thus better, more fair, treatment by The Court. |
07/10/2017 | JUDGMENT FOR A SPECIFIC LITIGANT 2007-CH-29738 LAW DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Participant: SHELTON PAUL |
*** PDF file *** *.tif image *** Shelton is famous (infamous) for having lost both his mortgage broker's license and, subsequently, his law license, by administrative agency action by the IDFPR and the IARDC, respectively. So, he's suffered enough, even assuming there was some guilt on his part. But, if he was more guilty than Joseph Younes, he would be legally liable to repay damages incurred by Daniggelis. I don't know all the facts, and I do think Shelton may have lied about his wife witnessing and notarising Daniggelis' signature (based on testimony both Shelton and Daniggelis gave to me on that head), but even assuming arguendo Shelton to be guilty, here, my gut feeling says he was a bit player, who did not benefit from the theft of Daniggelis' house -- or at least not to the same magnitude as Younes, so I think Younes is the key scammer, as I read it. |

8/8/2017 | MOTION FILED 2007-CH-29738 LAW DIVISION GMAC v. Daniggelis |
Participant: DANIGGELIS RICHARD |
The motion, proper, is in pp.2-5 of this 6-page PDF file: A motion to reconsider the piping-hot, scorched-earth order that Hon. Diane M. Shelley, Circuit Judge, entered right above, and directed against Atty. Galic and Mr. Daniggelis. Even tho Galic has made major missteps, his motion is not bad, if I say so myself. Galic has, in fact, made numerous good points which are worth review. But, sometimes, fraud is simply fraud, and you don't need all the bells & whistles to make a sound legal argument, and, probably, summary judgment (or a "bench" trial) is in order (with NO need for a "Jury Trial") as most (if not all) of the facts are not in question: Mr. Daniggelis simply got his house & land stolen via a forged signature (mortgage rescue scam), did NOT get paid for it, and was so unlucky enough to have a judge sign off onto the Grand Theft of house. It is no more complex than that.~Editor |

The court's docket only has this one entry, but it refers to all 3 documents: The Affidavit, the Notice of Motion, and the "3-in-1" above, namely the Motion, proposed Amicus, & Exhibits.

02 October 2015 is listed here on my online docket. However, the court's docket (links at top of page: CIVIL DIVISION) do not have this. AGAIN: The Court
loses stuff. But, I did file it: All the judges as well as
the clerk & all the other parties were served via USPS, including, of course,
Hon. Judge Diana Rosario, the Civil Division judge assigned to hear this case. The court is in a sad state of affairs, continually losing and/or refusing to process & file life-of-death pleadings, such as this, which deal with the elderly, 76-year-old friend of mine whose house was stolen in a "mortgage rescue scheme," making him homeless, which is not good for an elderly person. |

motion to intervene, above) 2017-M1-400775 1st MUNICIPAL DIVISION City of CHIGAGO v. Younes, et al. |
(As filed; for docketed copy, with court-stamp, see 7/10/17 entries, below.) |
Whoops!.. What was that? I heard unconfirmed rumours that my Motion to Intervene was denied because Mr. Daniggelis (allegedly) didn't
want me to intervene. [That is false, as he's said that he doesn't mind, so long as I don't rock the boat or otherwise cause trouble.] Moreover, it matters
not what he thinks, as both statutory and case law says my rights to intervene are absolute, so long as I meet certain criteria: It doesn't depend on his
views, but simply a matter of fact, as he admits he owes me for certain research; and, like any other lien placed against a property, it matters not what
the owner thinks. Another (more believable) rumour has it that my motion was struck because I failed to appear "in person" to present my motion. While
"in person" presentation is the norm, not all motions are heard in person, as I argue in my notice, here. Lastly, since I demonstrate in my notice, here,
that the court didn't even **receive** my motion until after the hearing time (FedEx had a late delivery), it seems quite impossible that
I could have been denied a motion that hadn't yet been received by the court. What seems more likely is they were probably discussing my
04/22/2017 legal memo, and since others seem to have gotten my email service of my 05/17/2017 filing, they might have been discussing that, and the judge
may have commented on that--even tho she had not gotten her service copy, due to FedEx being late. * FedEx and USPS TRACKING DATA - this was timely received by the following recipients: * Emma J. Burse, Mail Room Manager (to deliver filings to both the LAW Division clerk and the judge's chambers) signed for by: "S.FRIEDER" on Delivery date: July 10, 2017, @ 11:00am CST, at the Receptionist/Front Desk of 50 West Washington Street of the courthouse, and for delivery to Judge Shelley's chambers. (Probably, however, it was signed for by M.Salome, looking at the signature, and probably the other signature was one on file with FedEx.) * CORPERATION COUNSEL for the City of Chicago, IL by First Class U.S. Postal Mail * The rebellious Mr. Younes was served by First Class U.S. Postal Service mail: * 100 dpi * 200 dpi * 300 dpi * * Heavner Beyers Mihlar LLC (who apparently represent a banks holding mortgage on this house & property) by First Class U.S. Postal Mail * CR Realty Advisors, LLC (which has been appointed by the court as a temporary receiver on the property) by First Class U.S. Postal Mail |

08/26/2017 | Supplement to Motion for Limited Intervention by
Intervenor, Gordon Wayne Watts concurrent with Responsive pleadings regarding Scrivener's Errors, etc. 2017-M1-400775 1st MUNICIPAL DIVISION City of CHIGAGO v. Younes, et al. |
Participant: 1720 North SEDGWICK Street |
"Supplement to Motion for Limited Intervention by Intervenor, Gordon Wayne Watts concurrent with Responsive pleadings regarding
Scrivener's Errors, etc.," which is pretty self-explanatory: Short, 11-page text-searchable PDF document, filed by mail, as indicated,
below. The supplement, here, reflects several major new developments: First, I was granted Intervention in the sister case, which is legally persuasive, even if not binding Collateral Estoppel; Secondly, I found numerous Scrivener's Errors, mostly from others; Lastly, I notice I had to address some orphaned legal issues, not the least of which was how Mr. Daniggelis was not getting his fair day in court, even in spite of the benevolent generosity of the Housing (Code Violations) judge, assigned to this case, so I had to offer an alternative solution for him. Oh, and, as I was claiming my interests weren't being represented, I owed The Court a solution, which was to reverse the order of the fines and the repairs, so-as-to avoid running off Mr. Younes before he could complete the necessary repairs on the mess he created!

08/31/2017 | COMPLY - ALLOWED 2017-M1-400775 1st MUNICIPAL DIVISION City of CHIGAGO v. Younes, et al. |
Participant: 1720 N SEDGWICK ST |
Probably an Order allowing (or more like: ORDERING) that the court-appointed receiver, the City of Chicago, and Atty. Joseph Younes, all 3, cooperate and COMPLY with the prior court orders regarding fixing what Mr. Younes damaged after he stole the house from Daniggelis thru a forged (and obviously identically-photocopied) signature on a Warranty Deed when Daniggelis attempted to get refinancing. CAVEAT #1: Daniggelis NEVER got paid a DIME, and lost (as documented in my court filings) HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars in equity, as well, which lack of payment, all by itself, invalidates any transfer of title - not even counting the proof of photocopy forgery that I provided the court, using the court's own record. ** CAVEAT #2: Image not available at this time; please check back -- and/or check with the clerk -- for details. ~~Editor |
