A HISTORY OF THE SALLAS HUMAN TRAFFICKING CASE

IN THE OPINION OF KEN DITKOWSKY

Amelia (Amy) and Dean Sallas (age 84) are an elderly Skokie couple who were targeted by predators who used the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois to isolate them and gain control of their substantial assets.    The primary vehicle was case 07 P 5360 entitled IN RE AMELIA SALLAS.

The M.O. of the elder cleansing/human trafficking was routine.    Amy was hauled before the Court, found to be so disabled as to need two guardians – one for her person and one for her property.     Her husband of over 50 years was rejected in favor of strangers.      The evidence presented was the usual one-sided clap trap.    The standard of CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE was obviated by the Court having the sole determination as to the quality and quantity of evidence.     Any testimony presented would have satisfied this Judge.   The Court made a mockery of 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3a.   It did not and could not make findings of fact and conclusions of law.

The Court appointment of a guardian was similarly not in accord with 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3b.    As the Court had little evidence to support its determination in accordance with the Statute, it could not comply with section 3b.      It thus made generic appointments totally ignoring the mandate of the Statute and the requirements of the 14^th Amendment and the Rule of Law.     Unfortunately, this situation is commonplace.   The entire guardianship process is intended to be predatory and benefit the appointed guardian – not the ward!

 What was not routine was the fact that the plenary guardian ignored the Civil and Human Rights of the husband and usurped  them – including all the marital assets –  exercising full dominion over them.     The fact that such was FELONY THEFT is irrelevant in Guardianship cases.    Resistance was thwarted by the Court and aided by a Guardian ad Litem who cried out to the husband whose property was being stolen – you have no standing!     The Husband’s lawyer turned out to be part of the same cabal.    She withdrew as his attorney when the Husband asserted that he had VESTED MARITAL PROPERTY rights and he had standing to assert them.      The net net result was the wrongful theft of about nine million dollars in savings to date plus a total forfeiture of the couple’s 1^st, 4^th, 5^th, and 14^th amendment rights.

The guardian of the person ran into a major problem – Amy was not incompetent and had no disability that could be addressed pursuant to the dictates and limitations of 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3.      Thus, this guardian took the route of least resistance and attorned to Amy going back into her prior life without his interference.    This truce lasted a decade, until two major events occurred that caused the guardian embarrassment and the threat of exposure, to wit:

a)        Sallas had because of the guardian’s patent incompetence and breach of fiduciary relationship been subject to a predatory home mortgage.     This mortgage was deceptively cast as a COMMERCIAL LOAN so as to squeeze the maximum rate of interest.     No home mortgage or REVERSE mortgage was offered.     On January 24, 2018 this mortgage expired and became due and payable.      Amy recognized this fact and on January 25, 2018 when she received a telephone call from the Byline Bank and an offer to ‘renew’ the loan she and Dean went to the Byline Bank and signed the new loan agreement.     Amy also inquired about the interest rates and obtained not only a lower interest rate than prior but an extended amortization period.    Byline would not provide either a HOME LOAN or a REVERSE MORTGAGE.

b)      Amy felt sick and signed herself into Swedish Covenant Hospital handling all the paperwork, history et al without the aid of the guardian.

A ‘fly’ entered the environment.   Amy’s signature on the January 25, 2018 mortgage was a violation of the law and in particular 755 ILCS 5/11a =22.      Sometime after the criminal act had been consummated the plenary Guardian, Mr. Charles Golbert, discovered the event.     On February 15, 2018 he appeared before Judge Boliker and presented a Petition to sign a new loan agreement.     As appears to be his pattern, he neglected to inform the Judge of the fact that such was un-necessary – AMY HAD SIGNED THE NEW MORTGAGE DOCUMENTS and had obtained better terms that he had.    Judge Boliker signed the order presented to her on February 15, 2018.

Subsequently, an attempt at a cover-up of the criminal activity commenced but was not successful.   Golbert who controlled at this point most (if not all) of the Sallas cash flow retaliated by ceasing to pay the mortgage, the insurance, maintenance on the property etc.        Confident that the ‘fix’ was in, the Byline Bank had the temerity to file a Foreclosure Lawsuit that actually had in its title the name of the disabled person protected by 755 ILCS 5/11a – 22, to wit   ByLine Bank vs. Amelia Sallas  2019 CH 13960.    Dean filed Motions to dismiss the barred foreclosure suit.      His theory was quite straight forward.    755 ILCS 5/11a – 22 bars enforcement of a loan transaction executed in defiance of the statute.    Such a bar abrogates by the express words of the Statute the liability of the disabled person.     It therefore follows that as Dean’s contract of Guarantee has been changed by the voluntary action of the Byline Bank, Dean is also released.      Byline Bank with all its attorneys and $25,000 dollars in claimed attorney fees certain was well aware of the prohibition of 755 ILCS 5/11a – 22.    Ergo, its actions were intentional.

 The Court proceedings in the Guardianship proceeding became more hostile and in fact Dean and Amy received an unwanted, unasked for, and unaccepted sua sponte, ultra vires, de facto dissolution of marriage with all the trimmings including the onerous property settlement of full forfeiture of all assets whether legally under the jurisdiction of the Court or not.     Amy after a decade of living in her home with her husband was removed from her home and out of her marriage.     Dean was scheduled to be rendered homeless and penniless.     A death threat was added to the mix.   His attorney without prior notice, a written motion, or any fault on Dean’s part was allowed under highly usual and ethically suspect basis to withdraw her representation during a contested hearing.     This left Dean without an attorney.     As his file was kept from him his ability to obtain counsel was nullified.

The Final phase of HUMAN TRAFFICKING/ELDER CLEANSING commenced and was highlighted by the July 28, 2020 hearing.     In that proceeding a discussion occurred as to the status of the HOME MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE.     The attorney for the Guardian informed the Court of the foreclosure and that she and the guardian were monitoring the foreclosure.    No defense was going to be raised.     The Judge attorned.      What Ms. Elizabeth Casanova did not tell the Judge was:

·         that the guardian Mr. Charles Golbert had sometime after the 755 ILCS 5/11a – 22 criminal transaction had signed a blank signature page for the loan.     He signed it without the common and usual exculpation clause and thus had personal liability.

·         Dean in spite of threats to leave him homeless and penniless and a death threat could not be induced to sign the blank signature page.  The page that evidenced criminal conduct on the part of the Byline Bank could not disappear and in fact was attached to the Mortgage foreclosure complaint as exhibit H.

·         That another serious breach of fiduciary relationship was intended – the home was appraised by Zillow and local realtors at about 500,000

·         That the Byline Bank was seeking almost 40% in penalty interest including $25,000 in attorney fees.

·         That the Guardian had a history of filing documents in Court that were reasonably intended to mislead the Court.   As an example – on February 15, 2018  the Guardian did not inform the Court that his services in reference to the mortgage with Byline Bank were un-necessary.  Amy had been contacted by Byline Bank and she had executed the loan documents.   EXACTLY why the Guardian was necessary to attempt at Sallas’ expense to cover-up the criminal conduct of Byline Bank will remain a mystery.    Of course, not only does it appear that such was attempted but Judge Boliker approved the fiduciary expenditure from the Sallas marital estate.

Dean did file a defense to the Mortgage foreclosure lawsuit and disclosed the CRIMINAL ACTIONS of the Byline Bank.     He also disclosed the apparently miscreant behavior of the Bank and Guardian and the Illinois Rule of law that the discharge of one obligator to a loan release all.         

In the Probate division, Sallas raised the limitations of 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3 and the fact that HE WAS NOT ADJUDICATED – only his wife had been.      He complained that with the ultra vires attornment and aid of the Court the Guardian has used his judicial office to deny him his HUMAN and Civil rights with impunity and continues to do so.    In particular he notes that the guardian in the 11^th current account actually brags concerning the invasion of his privacy, the poverty and lack of services that he is being subject to and other indignities.    Sallas objects to his VESTED MARITAL ASSETS being used for the purpose of the ELDER CLEANSING OF HIS WIFE and himself and in particular the dissipation and predation leveled against he and his wife.     

The usurpation of Dean Sallas’ Marital Estate is as a matter of Law FELONY THEFT!      The guardian’s authorization pursuant to 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3b might be construed to give complete dominion and control over the ward and a rogue Court might even confiscate all liberties of the elderly victim, but there is no way that the Guardian can Constitutionally be given any dominion over Deans vested marital interest.      Such is FELONY THEFT!    It is a taxable event requiring the Guardian to pay United States Income Tax on every penny sequestered and taken dominion over.     The Probate Court Judge has no jurisdiction over Dean Sallas without the abrogation of the 14^th Amendment.

How could such a travesty such as the SALLAS affair occur?     The fact is it has occurred and continues unabated today.    

On Amy’s Birthday (April 11, 2021)   Dean and Amy secretly met at the nursing home where she was placed so as to be infected with Covid 19 by the guardian to celebrate her birthday.    (They had been secretly communicating prior)  They were apprehended by Cynthia Montesinos DRCS and informed that for this elder couple married more than 50 years they were required to obtain the permission of Lisa Casanova.    This is the same Lisa Casanova who complained to the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois that JoAnne Denison was acting in an ethically challenged manner when she assisted Dean Sallas in obtaining an e-mail address.    Ms. Casanova – an attorney for the Guardian – has been silent concerning the predatory lending practices of the Byline Bank and its gross overcharges in interest.    The foreclosed loan was fraudulent promulgated as a COMMERCIAL LOAN even though in the last decade neither Mr. nor Mrs. Sallas was actively engaged in any Commercial venture.      Thousand so predatory interest was extracted from the elderly couple.   

Any ethical bank would have provided Sallas with either a REVERSE INTEREST loan or a HOME LOAN.    Of course, a guardian who took his fiduciary responsibility seriously would similarly have obtained the same from the ethical lending institution.      The Predatory lending attorned to by the Probate Judge and her appointed Guardian is intolerable and wrong.    It violates the spirit of all the protective legislation passed by the Illinois legislature and the Congress of the United States to protect senior citizens.      IT IS TIME for the RULE OF LAW to be put forth and for JUSTICE FOR THE ELDERLY to have a place in American’s current culture.       THE DRED SCOTT style law enforcement witnessed in Cook County,   Illinois should be condemned just as in the middle 1800’s the said Scott decision was rejected by Americans.     THE 14^TH AMENDMENT must have meaning in 2021 America.  

The Guardianship/human trafficking in the elderly is worse that any cancer.     Once a guardian attached to a vulnerable senior that senior can be expected to be divorced totally and completely from his/her prior life and after all his/her life savings have been sequestered and gotten under the control of the Guardian – the end is sight.    Family (including spouses) have no standing and your status is less than the status of slaves incarcerated on Southern plantations in the 1980’s.     The Guardian is your Simon Lagree.      He determines who you associate, where you live, and your life functions in derogation of the words and phrases of 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3b.     You are toast until the last dollars has been obtained from your savings and Federal and State funds.       

But for law enforcement enforcing the RULE OF LAW a person targeted for Guardianship loses all rights privileges and immunities in spite of the clear words of the 14^th Amendment.      In the Foreclosure case, the Byline Bank is so certain that it has the ‘fix’ in that it filed a MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT.    A Motion for Summary Judgement can be granted only if there is no dispute fact issue to be determined.     Exactly how does the adjudication of Amy Sallas as a protected person disappear from the Court records of 07 P 5360?       A Court takes judicial notice of its own proceedings!      

I assume that the court proceeding as to BYLINE BANK vs. Amelia Sallas – a disabled person – will be presented on Zoom.    It is scheduled for early next month.       Please attend!    It will be highly educational.

I’ve made it a practice from day one to not advance any funds for clients or friends without exception.   In the Sallas case Dean is a blast from the past.   He actually goes back to my childhood.   I’ve taken an interest in his case because what has happened to him COULD IN FACT HAPPEN to me.   It is frightening – including the turncoat nature of his children.   Indeed, such a situation is no longer uncommon and at the drop of hat one or more of your children can act irrationally and turn 180 degrees against his and your best interests.    (my grown children on Saturday turned up at my home at 6:00 A.M. with a brand new bicycle for me!    Yesterday my oldest daughter invited me to ride with her on a beautiful trail in Lake County.    At the very same the widow of one of my closest friends had to address a threat from a daughter to put her away in a guardianship.    The contrast was not lost on me.  
 My policy of no investment directly or indirectly in other people’s problems was not promulgated because I am cheap, but so that I remain as objective as possible and have no unbargained for pecuniary interest that might break my objectivity.   (That is not to say that I am always objective  because I am not – I just do not want any other factor interfering with my analysis of the situation – and have set the bar at zero – where it remains to this day.   Also by lending only moral support I alleviate the claim I am an advocate for one side or the other – I remain merely a friend.   The FIRST AMENDMENT reiterates that my right of association trumps any frivolous claim of a miscreant implemented in anti-social or criminal behavior as to my role.    Byline Bank certainly would like to strip Dean Sallas of his friends as they have done with his money!   
My relationship with Dean Sallas is that of friend to friend.   I am not his attorney = just his friend, and at my age I am not going back into the practice of law.   I do see Dean’s situation in the harsh light of CORRUPTION.    I practiced law for over 1/2 a century and until I ran across these elder cases (starting with Sykes) I really never saw the nadir of the legal profession or the corrupt bastards whose presence defames some very noble people.   my forced retirement came at the time of my life it was due.   
Yes, in my practice I saw the ‘fix’ occur and yes I had to deal with it, but, somehow even that was different.   The miscreants were not totally venal or vindictive.    The bad guys (Judges, lawyers, clients) were not arrogant about their clout or were they vindictive.   They also attempted to hide their perfidy – not try to justify it.    When I saw the dealing between ByLIne Bank and Boliker’s husband I was shocked:

I was taken aback.  Yes, I know that developers cannot afford to black list certain lenders and a judge’s spouse usually does not consult with the Judge as to whom, if anyone, he/she could do business; but, the actions of Bylne Bank in the Sallas case are beyond repugnant.   I doubt if any other Bank in Illinois has ever violated 755 ILCS 5/11a – 22 knowingly.    And if they did, they did not compound the criminal act.    Byline Bank knew of Amy’s disability on day one because a year earlier as it appears in the record, the  Guardian did not keep his involvement a secret.     Maybe he was obtaining a finder’s fee for bringing his adjudicated ward’s business to Byline Bank.     Such an arrangement is not uncommon.    Quid pro quo in this predator business is the norm – not the exception.
Worse yet it is clearly apparent that the Byline Bank’s ethics are questionable.   There is hardly a soul who is not aware that DEAN SALLAS & AMY SALLAS for at least a decade have not engaged in an active commercial business venture.   They may have chosen previously to vest their savings in real estate, but it could no more be a commercial venture than my deceased mother in law’s account remains are a commercial venture.    The structure of the loan and the absurd penalty usury claimed in the foreclosure suit can be deemed NOT to be oppressive and predatory.    No volume of words can convince an honest trier of fact that Byline Bank’s conduct is not inequitable, unethical, wrong, elder abuse and worse.     
Thus, the number of related loans  – since the filing of the foreclosure action in Byline vs. Amy Sallas (a disabled person whose guardianship is being supervised by Judge Boliker) raises a dozen or so hurricane flags!     The failure of the Judge to even get excited by the revellation that the Guardian was unconcerned that his petitions before the Court in the Sallas case were misleading is beyond amazing.   It is akin to a confession of serious ******.
The Guardian’s actions in seizing total dominion over Sallas’ funds have rendered him insolvent.  He is living on his essentially his social security.   It is a pecuniary hardship for him to travel downtown to file documents with the Court.   This is exactly what the human traffickers operating in the Sallas case are counting on.
The long and the short of this e-mail is that the Elderly fighting the American Holocaust are losing a valuable voice in their Warsaw getto-like uprising against the corrupt political/judicial underworld that has launched an assault on the individual freedoms of the Elderly.   For a couple of dollars – I will break my fast rule and make a contribution to the cause of FREEDOM for the ELDERLY.
The Dean Sallas case is fast becoming Waterloo!

Dean is still struggling to get out of foreclosure and to get his wife back.

Please pray for him.

Ask the ARDC why his GAL is constantly trying to find out who is helping him and trying to go after them to deny any help at all. (Attorney Casanova and ask the ARDC to discipline her for this–Dean is a vulnerable adult, elderly at age 85 and he needs all the help he can get) Her behavior is utterly reprehensible.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEThursday, April 22, 2021

Justice Department Finds that Alameda County, California, Violates the Americans with Disabilities Act and the U.S. Constitution

The Justice Department concluded today, based upon a thorough investigation, that there is reasonable cause to believe that Alameda County is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in its provision of mental health services, and that conditions and practices at the county’s Santa Rita Jail violate the U.S. Constitution and the ADA.

The department’s investigation found that the county fails to provide services to qualified individuals with mental health disabilities in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs. Instead, it unnecessarily institutionalizes them at John George Psychiatric Hospital and other facilities. In Olmstead v. L.C., the U.S. Supreme Court held that Title II of the ADA requires public entities to provide community-based services to persons with disabilities when appropriate services can reasonably be provided to individuals who want them. However, on any given day in Alameda County, hundreds of people are institutionalized for lengthy stays at one of several large, locked psychiatric facilities in the county or are hospitalized at John George Psychiatric Hospital, while others are at serious risk of admission to these psychiatric institutions because of the lack of community-based services. Without connection to adequate community-based services, people return to John George Psychiatric Hospital in crisis again and again. 

“The ADA protects individuals with mental health disabilities from unnecessary institutionalization, and the Constitution guarantees all prisoners necessary medical care, including mental health care,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Pamela S. Karlan of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Our investigation uncovered evidence of violations that, taken together, result in a system where people with mental health disabilities in Alameda County find themselves unnecessarily cycling in and out of psychiatric institutions and jails because they lack access to proven services that would allow them to recover and participate in community life.”

The department also concluded that there is reasonable cause to believe that conditions at the jail violate the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution, as well as the ADA. Specifically, the department concluded that there is reasonable cause to believe that the jail fails to provide constitutionally adequate mental health care to prisoners with serious mental health needs, including those at risk of suicide; that the jail violates the constitutional rights of prisoners with serious mental illness through its prolonged use of restrictive housing; and that the jail violates the ADA by denying prisoners with mental health disabilities access to services, programs, and activities because of their disabilities.

As a result of these failures, prisoners with serious mental health needs have experienced worsening mental health conditions, are sent repeatedly to John George Psychiatric Hospital for acute care, have experienced prolonged stays in restrictive housing, and, at times, have seriously injured themselves or died.

The Civil Rights Division’s Special Litigation Section initiated the investigation under the ADA and under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA), which authorizes the department to address a pattern or practice of deprivation of constitutional rights of individuals confined to state or local government-run correctional facilities.

Memorandum

I went over the notes from the zoom hearing that occurred today in regard to the Circuit Court of Cook County case 07 P 5360 entitled IN RE: AMELIA SALLAS.        There are a number of issues that are quite interesting that expose the problem that we all face with the HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN THE ELDERLY.  (exploitation)

Starting with square one, a reoccurring theme in these American Holocaust sagas is the fact that a dysfunctional family is found all to often to be  part of the mix and available as prey or a stalking horse for the Criminal venture.          As I look back over the cases I examined the ‘dysfunctional family’ was more often than not an element.      In the Sykes case a daughter stole $4000.00 from her mother and when mother went to seek out a protective order the daughter used clout to get the matter into Probate Court and a predatory guardianship.     In Gore the predators used a disabled granddaughter to oust the caring family member who was Guardian 1 and appointed her (the disabled person) as guardian.   In JayCox   target was estranged from his wife and two sisters.   The beat goes on.[1]

Today in Sallas  to divert attention from the Guardian’s criminal misconduct, misrepresentations to the Court and the unlawful usurpations, and massive losses to the Estate and the husband of the Amelia Sallas of more than Nine (9) million dollars – the miscreants started the Court diversion immediately.    The kidnapping of Amy Sallas and her incarceration were used to divert attention – the Guardian ad Litem asserted that the husband had  agitated the Ward.     Indeed, having been wrongfully isolated without any color of law by the guardian the captive wife discovered that  she still has a life – a saint would be agitated!     Indeed, Amelia learned that there was a possibility that she was not on the fast track to be a Zombie!

Such was the opening Salvo!      

The ploy did not work – Dean was not deterred from presenting his Motions and pointing out that:

1)      There was no statutory authority for anything that was going on, and in fact the CONSTITUTION of the United States of America prohibited it.     Indeed, the Guardian ‘s authority was limited to the ward by the words of 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3b, to wit:

Guardianship shall be utilized only as is necessary to promote the well-being of the person with a disability , to protect him from neglect, exploitation, or abuse, and to encourage development of his maximum self-reliance and independence

The Guardian had no legal power over him and in fact he was not before the Court except to protest the outright theft of his vested MARITAL PROPERTY INTERESTS of $9,000,000.00 and the continued illegal and criminal efforts of the Guardian to carry out the threat of being left homeless and penniless.

2)      That he, as Amy’s husband, had a duty to protect her and to protest the fact that the Guardian’s appointment had to be pursuant to 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3b and if it was so limited just about everything the Guardian was doing was ultra vires – and in direct violation of Amy Sallas’ rights under the CONSTITUTION of the United States of America.

3)      That the Guardian was not honest with the Court and in fact was presenting reports to the Court that were not in accord with objective reality[2].

The unexpected happened – Dr. Samuel Sugar M.D. appeared in the Zoom gallery.     With the remarkably successful Symposium that he sponsored still fresh he commented on the sorry spectacle her was observing.    Journalist Janet Phelan also appeared as observer and most important Dean Sallas stood his ground and demanded Justice.

Of course, as unfortunately expected, the Presiding Judge was/is disinterested in the plight of Amelia Sallas or Dean Sallas.    It appeared from her demeanor at the hearing – for all to observe –  that she could care less that the Guardian demonstrated no respect for her or her office – indeed, she was totally disinterested in the fact that a Guardian she appointed had abused his office and was mocking her by not informing her of the fact that he allowed his ward (Amy) to be victimized by the criminal conduct of the Byline Bank in direct violation of 755 ILCS 5/11a – 22.      Indeed, it matter not to her that she was not informed of the Guardian’s conflict of interest, the wrongful isolation of his ward or the overreach of his office.      Of course, the Judge was not interested that the Guardian without lawful color of law had , used his office to gain unlawful dominion over Dean Sallas’ vested property interests and had in direct violation of 18 USCA 241, 242 and the specific prohibition of 42 USCA 1983 had seized almost all of Dean Sallas property and was forcing him to live an abject poverty.    Indeed, having usurped all the Sallas family funds he seeks to unlawfully evict Dean from his ½ million-dollar home by assuring that the utilities, the taxes, insurance, and upkeep expenses are not paid.     His supervisor brags that Dean will be homeless and penniless.  

The Guardianship which is designed to HELP a disabled person acclimate into the world was prostituted  in case 07 P 5360 to abuse the elderly person.     Nine million dollars of savings is unaccounted for – a lifetime of savings lost!      A Circuit Judge is herein presiding over the UNCONSTITUTIONAL ABUSE of Illinois law and claims related to wrongful conduct and interpreting that Statutory limitation of:

Guardianship shall be utilized only as is necessary to promote the well-being of the person with a disability , to protect him from neglect, exploitation, or abuse, and to encourage development of his maximum self-reliance and independence    

This clause and prohibition according to today ruling approving the Guardian’s fees is thusly to  be interrupted to be the functional equivalent of a jail sentence and the loss of all property and liberty not only for the unfortunate soul who is declared to be a ‘ward’ but for her spouse and anyone who objects to the HUMAN TRAFFICKING in the elderly.      

The oral order of this Judge suggests that the RULE OF LAW and the Constitution is an inconvenience to be ignored[3].             

I wish I could say that the action described is unusual or unique.    It certainly is not unique in case 07P 5360.    It certainly was not unique as reported by the presenters at Dr. Sugar’s AAAPG symposium, nor is it unique in the reports from AAAPG, Cear, NASGA, Probate Sharks, MaryGSykes ** blogs.    Nor was it unique in the articles and material aired on Netflix, written about in the NewYorker, NY Times, Wall Street Journal, or a bunch of GAO reports to Congress.      IT IS WRONG and is illustrative of wrongdoing.

We have reached the point of NO RETURN.      As speaker after speaker at Dr. Sugar’s symposium urged it is time to fish or cut bait.      Dean Sallas brought his petitions today to highlight the perfidy that he faces.      He has appealed to Law Enforcement.       He has received some encouragement, but he realizes that DEMOCRACY IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT.     

In the weeks to come, Dean will rise up in the Chancery Court in the case of BYLINE BANK vs. AMELIA SALLAS 2019 CH 13960 and pursuant to his MOTIONS now pending Demand that the Court of Equity give honor to its heritage and take cognizance of the fact that in violation of the laws as to elder abuse, predation of elders, 755 ILCS 5/11a – 22, consumer protection laws designed to protect the elderly dismiss with prejudice the wrongful foreclosure action.      

I have to comment on the Byline Bank’s conduct.      The Bank is well aware that at the time of the loan (Jan 25, 2018) neither Dean nor Amelia was engaged in any business venture.    They were also aware that interest rates for HOME MORTGAGES had hit rock bottom.     Indeed, it was no secret that to aid seniors such as Sallas the Government was encouraging REVERSE MORTGAGES.      It takes real greed to resist the temptation to provide an elderly couple with run of the mill Home loan at the advertised 3% loan rate or a REVERSE MORTGAGE that will obviate month loan payments.     

It takes a ‘special’ kind of lender to openly and notoriously ignore a criminal statute that reads.

  (755 ILCS 5/11a-22) (from Ch. 110 1/2, par. 11a-22)
    Sec. 11a-22. Trade and contracts with a person with a disability.
    (a) Anyone who by trading with, bartering, gaming or any other device, wrongfully possesses himself of any property of a person known to be a person with a disability commits a Class A misdemeanor.
    (b) Every note, bill, bond or other contract by any person for whom a plenary guardian has been appointed or who is adjudged to be unable to so contract is void as against that person and his estate, but a person making a contract with the person so adjudged is bound thereby.

Obviously, the lender was aware of Amelia Sallas’ adjudication by the Circuit Court in case 07 P 5360 as a person with disability.     

The hearing of today before Judge Boliker was informative in that the words and phrases of this remedial Statute in Illinois have little meaning as at least in Judge Boliker’s court room this statute is not enforceable.      (see transcript of July 28, 2020 Zoom hearing!      Not only does the criminal nature of the loan have no meaning, but the responsibility of the Guardian to protect the assets of the ward is not applicable.

(a) Upon the filing of a petition by a reputable person or by the alleged person with a disability himself or on its own motion, the court may adjudge a person to be a person with a disability , but only if it has been demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that the person is a person with a disability as defined in Section 11a-2. If the court adjudges a person to be a person with a disability , the court may appoint (1) a guardian of his person, if it has been demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that because of his disability he lacks sufficient understanding or capacity to make or communicate responsible decisions concerning the care of his person, or (2) a guardian of his estate, if it has been demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence that because of his disability he is unable to manage his estate or financial affairs, or (3) a guardian of his person and of his estate.

(b) Guardianship shall be utilized only as is necessary to promote the well-being of the person with a disability , to protect him from neglect, exploitation, or abuse, and to encourage development of his maximum self-reliance and independence. Guardianship shall be ordered only to the extent necessitated by the individual’s actual mental, physical, and adaptive limitations.

Obviously, Judge Boliker on July 28 was aware of the violation of 755 ILCS 5/11a – 22 by the Byline Bank and was aware that on February 15, 2018 when the Guardian approached her for leave to negotiate the mortgage that had already been signed 3 weeks prior, he was not being candid with her.    Thus, it should not be surprise to yours truly and Sallas that when the Guardian on that date told her that he was not contesting the void loan and unlawful mortgage foreclosure we really should not have been surprised.       The issue in case 2019 CH 13960  is whether the Chancery Court will follow the RULE OF LAW.

Democracy is NOT a spectator sport!        We appear to have lost the battle in the PROBATE  COURT – do we love our inheritance enough to fight to win the war?

---

[1] This disfunction is unexplainable but clearly exploitable.     Amelia and Dean’s children by their attornment to the pandemic scheme to exploit their mother promulgated by the Guardian and other have assisted in the loss of their inheritance.      They certainly should realize that their mother is pushing 80 and their father 84.     The days separating them from their inheritance is short, yet, to satisfy whatever drives them they must be deemed ready to imprison their mother, impoverish they father and deprive themselves of a substantial inheritance and comfort.      This disfunction is known as cutting off your hand to spite your face!      It is common and as observed today easily maneuvered.

[2] It is sad, but it appears that the Judge’s conduct and total disinterest in the alleged CRIMINAL ACTIONS and deceptions by the guardian indicated to at least the undersigned that the Judge not only was aware of the deceptions but attorned and approved of them.

[3] I am aware that calling a ‘spade a spade’ or exercising FIRST AMENDMENT rights to complain of the felonies of elder abuse is in Illinois ethically challenged and lawyers who stand up against criminal abuses such as are evident in the Sallas cases are summarily punished by the IARDC (Illinois Attorney Disciplinary Commission).     In its zealousness the IARDC subpoenaed DEAN SALLAS’ Google records.     His crime of not attorning to the abuse and exploitation of the Guardian was quickly addressed by the IARDC.    The only problem is the fact that Dean Sallas is not a lawyer and they like the Guardianship Court in fact have no jurisdiction to take possession of his property or intimidate him.

My reaction to all of this is to show that zoom hearings MUST and should continue after Covid as an option to every litigant who requests them.

The Sallas case has now garnered the attention of major guardianship corruption activists and Dr. Sam Sugar is clearly a leader in all of this. Good for him for attending.

Boliker is going to have some major problems with her position in the Sallas case, letting lawyers and guardians touch assets belonging to Dean Sallas, a marital partner, with claims to marital assets which have been stolen, converted and trespassed upon. Only Dean Sallas and Dean Sallas alone should have access to his wife’s assets, as she has to his assets, but he is not under any guardianship. He still has all of his facilities and is clearly competent.

The threats and intimidation of Boliker and the OPG and attorney Casanova cannot be ignored in a civilized society.

This has to end. Dean should get his house secured, his $9 million in assets returned to him and also his beloved wife should be returned to him instanter. The OPG’s job is to do this, instead they prey on the elderly and vulnerable.

Watch this attorney struggle to justify guardianship. He does describe it to an “out of control tsunami” and how courts want to err toward protecting people, but in doing so, often strip them of important rights.

the system has to change.

This couple has been unbelievably isolated from one another for over 18 months by the Office of Public Guardian.

There is no court order to do this. There is no reason to do this. He has never been investigated by APS or ever accused of a crime regarding his beloved wife.

Dean Sallas is about to be 84. He needs his wife.

The nursing homes have finally opened up. He goes to visit wife (who has been placed in a nursing home against her will by the Office of Public Guardian and she wants to see her husband he wants to see his wife (who is about the same age, maybe a few years younger).

This is the note he gets when he visits:

Dean Sallas
You may not visit Amelia Sallas until you have talke to Lisa Casanova and we have permission for visitations.   THIS IS A DIRECTIVDE FROM LISA CASANOVA ATTORNEY
signed
cynthia Montesinos drcs 04/09/2021 

This case is a travesty. The guardianship needs to be investigated and everyone involved who is a part of this should be indicted for fraud and elder abuse (of both Dean and Amy Sallas). The OPG should be immediately investgated and defunded.

The horrors of the OPG continue on unabated and the ARDC is involved!

Sharon Opryszek and Jerome Larkin must be investigated and the agency defunded until it can be show that it operates in an honest, transparent and ethical manner.

Pier Hopkins and her beloved Grandmother Marlynn Hopkins are also suffering at the hands of judges and attorneys.

Many cases out there need to be investigated by the authorities. This appears to be a continuing pattern and practice.

Please pray for all these victims and that justice be done.

The ARDC is coming after me for reporting on these cases. Their perfidy and mendacity must not continue.

To Law Enforcement charged with protecting the Elderly from abusive conduct:

Subject:  the ELDER CLEANSING OF AMELIA SALLAS    – A CRY FOR HELP!

Reference:    Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois cases, to wit:  In re: Amelia Sallas 07 P 5360, & Byline Bank vs. Amelia Sallas et al 2019 CH 13960

  While the Human Trafficking the in the elderly has become a certificated ‘growth industry’ in Cook County, Illinois and it is becoming common for elderly citizen’s Civil and Human Rights to be trampled upon by corrupt and unsupervised Court appointed guardians there has to be line in the sand that cannot be trespassed.

The Amelia Sallas case has been the subject of literally hundreds of e-mails and mailings complaining of the whole violation of the Civil and Human Rights of Amelia Sallas and Dean Sallas – a couple who until the intervention of a Court appointed guardian not only were secure in their homes but enjoying a long-term marriage.    The couple have been married for more than fifty years, accumulated savings well in excess of 9 million dollars and were secure in the belief that as citizens of the United States of America they could live out their retiring years together and in comfort.

In derogation of the 14^th Amendment Amelia Sallas ran afoul of the Justice system,  was declared incompetent by a Judge san the evidence required by 755 ILCS 5/11a -3a and railroaded into a guardianship wherein the criteria of the statute were again totally circumvented and ignored. See 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3b.     Amelia’s husband objected and without a legal basis the wrongfully appointed guardian for Amelia Sallas seized dominion  over not only Amelia vested marital property interests, but the vested marital property interests of her husband Dean Sallas.    The net result has been the dissipation of 9 million dollars in assets and continued exploitation of Amelia Sallas.

Placing Amelia Sallas in a ‘sheltered care facility’ did not terminate her life even though the guardian was successful in having her infected by Covid 19, however, the aforesaid removal of Amelia Sallas from her home and marriage did serve to temporarily isolate the elderly couple.     This evening, the ‘sheltered care facility’ discovered that this elderly couple were COMMUNICATING and this very evening they were in each other’s presence enjoying each other’s companionship and some pastry.   

All HELL BROKE LOOSE!      Dean was ordered off the premises!      By order of ELISABETH CASANOVA, Dean was not have contact with his wife of ½ a Century.     Ms. Casanova is an attorney for the Court appointed guardian.       Though the tears of his wife,  Dean meekly removed himself from the premises.   ELDER CLEANSING requires the victim to be totally isolated from her prior life!

The outrage and assault on HUMAN RIGHTS has now reached the point of no return.         Dean Sallas has reached out to the Illinois and Federal authorities for assistance in retrieving the CIVIL RIGHTS of he and his wife.      He has complained of:

1)      Loss of liberty.     Arbitrarily the Guardian, first recognized the Court well exceeded its statutory authority in rubber stamping an order allowing for a Guardian to be appointed for Amelia.    A compromise was reached – Amelia was returned after her adjudication to the marital home where she continued to reside with her husband.      This truce ended when Amelia embarrassed the Guardian by:

a.       On January 25, 2018 she negotiated (with her husband) a reinstatement and renewal of the predatory home mortgage that the Guardian was maintaining on the marital home.   She signed her signature on the loan documents.     (This action created a criminal violation of 755 ILCS 5/11a – 22 and  voided the predatory mortgage)

b.       Amelia suffered a medical abnormality and without permission of the guardian sojourned to SWEDISH COVENANT HOSPITAL .    She discussed intelligently her medical conduction and signed herself into the medical facility.

 Amelia was subsequently hauled out of her home and her marriage and without consent of either Dean or Amelia subjected to a sua sponde involuntary de facto dissolution of marriage that apparently is being maintained by order of Elizabeth Casanova, one of the attorneys for the Guardian.    

2)      Loss of Property.     The Guardian has sequestered almost even item of property previously owned by Dean and/or Amelia Sallas.    He engineered the loss of 9 million dollars in real estate assets and is now engaged in handing over to the ByLine Bank, pursuant to a void mortgage the marital home having a value of approximately half a million dollars.    

Today’s outrage requires emergency action.     Across America citizens have complained to deaf ears that when a court appointed guardian is embarrassed by some event – such as occurred today  – i.e., Dean and Amelia getting together and enjoying each other’s company against the express authority and demand of ELIZABETH CASANOVA terrible things happen to the captive elderly person.     Unavoidable accidents are frequent.   They include unexplained illness, various induced pneumonia, restrain bars on the bed being in the down position, drug reactions etc.

My concern is not paranoia.     It appears that the Guardian has not be entirely candid with the Judge who appointed him and who is charged with supervising him AND Dean Sallas has filed dispositive Motions in the 2019 CH 13960 case, and in this guardianship case 07 P 5360.     The ELIZABETH CASANOVA, one of the attorneys for the Guardian is reported to have requested the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois to investigate if an attorney has been assisting Dean Sallas in addressing the violation of the CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS of he and his wife.     The Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois has immediately responded and in direct violation of Dean Sallas’ 1^st, 4^th , 5^th and 14^th Amendment sent out a subpoena to obtain information as to Dean Sallas’  Google account.     

The retribution against Dean and Amelia Sallas is not a new situation.    They have had to deal with a total invasion of their privacy, their marriage, the loss of their life savings, the loss of their health and security and threats – including a death threat.     A supervisor of the Guardian’s staff (not ELIZABETH CASANOVA) bluntly told Dean Sallas that he was going to see him penniless and homeless!     The Court transcript of July 28, 2020 demonstrates that except for the pandemic and the discovery of the Guardian’s dishonesty with the Court he might have actually accomplished that feat by Christmas of 2020.

On Wednesday, April 14, 2021, Dean Sallas will object to the Guardian’s 11^th current account, the Guardian’s request for fees for the time spend in violating the Civil and Human Rights of both Dean and Amelia Sallas, the lack of candor of the Guardian with the Court, and the violation by the Guardian and the Court of Dean Sallas’ 1^st, 4^th, and 5^th Amendment Rights.     

In Summary – Dean and Amelia Sallas need the help of law enforcement.     All that they are requesting is that Law Enforcement enforce the Law.      755 ILCS 5/11a – 3 regulates the appointment of a Guardian.    The criteria are severely limited by both the ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION and the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.      There is no way that the current guardian CHARLES GOLBERT meets any of the criterion of the Statute or can perform the acts allowable by the Statute.     Golbert, may have political and judicial clout but he is not above the law!     His lack of candor to the Court and his established incompetence disqualifies him from acting as a guardian.     His lack of supervision of his subordinates or his direction to his subordinates (Elizabeth Casanova) .   Nowhere in 755 ILCS 5/11a – 3 is there any authority provided to the guardian to nullify a 50-year marriage, adjudicate the forfeiture of the assets, and enjoin the couple from enjoying their mutual FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS together.    Ditto of intimidation –

A few minutes ago at Dean’s request I forwarded what should be his dispositive Motions for case 07 P 5360 entitled IN RE: AMELIA SALLAS set for the next Court date to the service list.
while I did not do the scanning of the two motions, I am proving that you can teach on old dog new tricks.  
JoAnne – I copied the IARDC so that they will not have to subpeona my wife’s Google account to ascertain that it was me who assisted Dean Sallas in the 21st Century act of serving copies of his motion.   Pursuant to the 1st Amendment to the Constitution – whether your friend Ms. O likes it not I can and will continue my friendship with Mr. Sallas and as a citizen do what I can to see that he obtains JUSTICE!    
Until I read the material in the cases of ByLine Bank vs. Amelia Sallas 2019 CH 13960, and the material in this file, including and not limited to the https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:abc6fdc4-21c9-4774-b875-7b99ee534c5fetc  I still believed that we lived in the United States of America.    I am having doubts!   How could an elderly couple be literally stripped of their freedom, their property and virtually everything they have – including their marriage!    Neither Dean nor Amelia committed any crime – EXCEPT TO GROW OLD!    They were drawn into this nightmare literally set for life – their net assets were in excess of nine million dollars, they had a nice home etc.
Dean put up one heck of fight and is still doing so against terrible odds – the motions he filed sek to vindicate the Court – I could not even imagine a Judge having the temerity to treat the Constitution with such contempt – but it happened herein in case 07 P 5360 from day one through today.   I could not imagine such avarice as has been demonstrated by the fiduciary Guardians – but it happened right here in the Circuit Court of Cook County in case 07 P 5360.   
The averred perfidy of the Guardian in NOT being candid with Judge Boliker is beyond CONTEMPT.   I am surprised that Boliker of her own MOTION has not cited Golbert for CRIMINAL CONTEMPT OF COURT.  It is in insult not only to Judge Boliker, but every lawyer everywhere that he did not make the required disclosures –  Such demonstrates the lack of respect that the Judge and the Court have for themselves and the Rule of law.    
Dean has brought all this to the forefront.   The first reaction is in the record book – that was Ms. O of the IARDC sending a subpeona for Dean Sallas’ Google Records!    We have really sunk to new lows!   Did she believe that she would intimidate Mr. Sallas?    Or maybe she wished to intimidate someone else and prevent Sallas from attending the presentation of his dispositive motions?    Greylord was a low point in Illinois jurisprudence – the subpeona to Google drove the nadir even lower!    Judge Boliker similarly has an opportunity to to demonstrate just how little respect Illinois jurisprudence is entitled and how little respect she has for the Rule of Law – or she can take a step to vindicate herself and the Rule of Law by disapproving the 11th current account and referring the entire criminal matter to the ILLNOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL.  I hope that she will stand up for the Constitution!    I lack confidence in such occurring and expect instead another subpeona from Ms. O to Google, Yahoo, or whomever.
thank you Dean for setting the stage for Illinois to fish or cut bait!     We are all standing shoulder to shoulder with you!  Maybe on APRIL 15, 2021 you and your beloved wife will be reunited and out of the predatory control that you and she have been burdened.

The empowerment of the HUMAN TRAFFICKERS IN GRANDMA has been going on for a long time and most of us have been molified by the political set doing their think – agreeing with us and PASSING MORE AND MORE LEGISLATION that is not enforced.
Dr. Sugar’s Symposium will again discuss the problem, many will participate, and it will end with all who participate feeling good.   Will one Grandma be freed from her captors?    Will one criminal go to jail?
Of course not and quite probably Dr. Sugar, Rick and a few others will follow through BUT the majority will fall by the wayside.     The CALL TO ACTION ******
Law enforcement has to enforce the Law and we – the great unwashed – have to heed the call to action and not be distracted.    
How do we accomplish on goal?    One case at a time.   Like it or not if you win and free your mother, we all win.   If Dean Sallas on Wednesday obtains his freedom and that of his wife from the predatory guardian – AND law enforcement does an HONEST INVESTIGATION FOLLOWED BY AN HONEST PROSECUTION of the crimes openly and notoriously committed in case 07 P 5360 and 2019 CH 13960 we all win.    
What do we win?    We win a reaffirmation of our core values and the fact that we ar ea Nation of laws.   We send a message to our corrupt political icons that they serve us and our core values.   We send the corrupt politicans that IT IS NOT WHAT IS SAID THAT IS IMPORTANT – IT IS WHAT IS DONE!
Lanre Amu is a principled man who happens to have a dark hue to his skin.  He is educated, religious and a nice person.  He immigrated from Africa and can be classified as Negro.  Amu has a problem besides the racism that is part of the Chicago culture – he sees the world in terms of right and wrong and like many of us does not see too much in grey.    To belong to the cancel culture movement or any of the current cults you have to be a believer – Amu’s integrity would never allow such to occur – ergo he is a pariah.    As a Black pariah  — OH hell I do not have to spell it out.  Joe Louis has in e-mail after e-mail described the scenario.
The First Amendment and the 14th Amendment were enacted to address this situation – Government is not an instrument of TRUTH!    It is an instrument of protecting the rights of all citizens.   This cannot be done when Judgeships are for sale by political parties, elections are rigged, certain political individuals are targeted and others given a pass, and certainly not when we target groups of our citizens for exploitation.    
Dr. Sugar on April 11 – tomorrow will hold his symposium.    Will it get any press?    Will it have an effect?    I sincerely hope so.

Circuit Court Clerk touts transparency with new bill. Critics say it’s not what she promised.

Circuit Court Clerk touts transparency with new bill. Critics say it’s not what she promised.

Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Iris Martinez speaks at a press conference at the Daley Center on Wed., April 7.

Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Iris Martinez has walked back a campaign pledge to give the public more access to records from her office under the state’s Freedom of Information Act.

The clerk is the official record keeper for the Circuit Court and is responsible for collecting and distributing tens of millions of dollars in court fines and fees. But the agency is not subject to the state’s open record laws. That exclusion means the public has largely been kept in the dark about the operations and funding of one of the largest unified court systems in the country.

On Wednesday, Martinez touted her support of a bill, SB583, in the state Senate that would make the office subject to the Local Records Act, a state law that attorneys said doesn’t provide the same transparency as FOIA.

“We certainly believe that the public has a right to know how public dollars are being spent and, more importantly, that they have access to that information,” Martinez said at a press conference at the Daley Center alongside the bill’s chief sponsor, State Sen. Michael Hastings (D-Frankfort). “Including the Circuit Clerk’s office in the Local Records Act makes sure that the information remains public, even after my tenure as the Clerk of the Circuit Court is over.”

But the new bill is a change of tune from the promises Martinez made as a candidate.

At a candidates’ forum in February 2020, Martinez, then an Illinois state senator, said making the Clerk of Court’s office subject to the Freedom of Information Act was “the only way we’re going to be able to really dig deep and find where the problems are at and start addressing them.”

Martinez’s predecessor, Dorothy Brown, was the subject of a federal corruption investigation, and allegations of delays and inefficiencies have long plagued the office. In 2018, the Chicago Reader reported that at least two dozen state inmates had post-conviction appeals delayed because the Circuit Court Clerk’s office couldn’t locate their case files.

At the same time, the office has shut the public out of accessing crucial information about how cases are moving through the court system, who court fines and fees impact the most by, and how the Circuit Court Clerk manages the office’s $120 million annual budget.

A campaign promise amended

Martinez wasn’t the only candidate to promise to make the Circuit Court Clerk’s office subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Still, as a sitting state senator, she had a leg up on her opponents: A week before the forum last year, she had introduced a bill that would do just that.

“For the first time in over 20 years we’re going to have an opportunity to actually bring some sunshine and transparency into an office that has been overshadowed by so much corruption, patronage, and bad management,” Martinez said at the forum, which the nonpartisan Civic Federation sponsored.

Her bill didn’t go anywhere in last year’s legislative session, which was interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

When Hastings introduced an identical bill earlier this year, the Civic Federation, which advocates for good government, supported the effort, according to a letter they sent to the bill’s sponsors. But then he introduced an amendment, supported by Martinez, that struck all references to the Freedom of Information Act and instead made the Clerk of Court’s office subject to an older, more obscure, and less robust law called the Local Records Act.

Attorney Alexandra Block said the amendment “renders [the bill] effectively toothless.” Block, who has litigated public records lawsuits on behalf of news organizations and advocated for more transparency in the court system, said the Local Records Act falls short in several respects.

Unlike the Freedom of Information Act, which allows any member of the public to request a wide range of records from public agencies, the Local Records Act only allows requesters to “inspect” documents in person and the amendment only applies to Clerk of Court records about the “obligation, receipt and use of public funds.”

“It was a statute that was written for the paper age, not the electronic age,” Block said, adding that there’s “no recourse” under the Local Records Act if public agencies don’t fulfill requests.

Patrick Hanlon, a top aide to Martinez, said the clerk remains dedicated to transparency, but that during the campaign, it became “clearly evident” that the Clerk of the Circuit Court is a “nontraditional office of the judiciary” and therefore not subject to the Freedom of Information Act.

“You can’t force the judiciary to be part of FOIA,” he said.

But Block called this “utter nonsense.”

“The state legislature is fully empowered to set policy for free access to information, including for the non-judicial functions of the court system,” she said.

The amended bill passed a Senate committee last month and now heads to the full Senate for a vote.

At the press conference Wednesday, Hastings said the bill was a step forward for transparency for an office that has operated in the dark for too long and he was confident the bill would pass the Senate and the House.

“This idea is all about good government and transparency. A lot of legislators down in Springfield, they realize a need for that,” he said.

I think your attorney harassing Dean Sallas with a subpoena is not only
outrageous but an embarrassment to the entire legal profession. Dean at 84 is
not and never has been an attorney and his dealings with x, y, and z are NONE OF
THE IARDC’S business.
The over-reach by your IARDC attorney cannot be swept under the rug as it is so
beyond propriety it should be a termination offense! In fact her total
disregard for the CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS of citizen DEAN SALLAS should
result in termination of her LAW LICENSE. iNDIVIDUALS in the public sector
who so blatantly thread on the Constitution cannot be allowed public license.
Respect for the RULE OF LAW and the Constitution are not to be taken lightly.
Please let me make an observation – Ms. O did forward a letter she apparently
received from Attorney Elizabeth Casanova. This letter was similarly grossly
inappropriate. The letter claims that Dean Sallas might be obtaining help in
resisting the clearly criminal conduct emanating out of the COOK COUNTY PUBLIC
GUARDIAN’S OFFICE. Attorney Casanova apparently has no understanding of the
Illinois and United States Constitutions and in particular the 1st Amendment.
Such lack of understanding and the maintenance of a law license are
incompatible. If Ms. Casanova does not recognize the 1st Amendment such is her
right – but when she uses public offices to advance such lack of respect the
activity crosses the line and the IARDC should take action.
Most importantly, Dean Sallas – a citizen – has made some very serious averments
in his MOTIONS in the Circuit Court. They are all accurate! The public is
now aware of those allegation – WHY IS THE IARDC not acting to protect the
public from the public officials who have soiled their oath?
If certainly is a disgrace that the IARDC joins forces with the miscreant public
officials who are openly and notoriously making war on Grandma!

DETROIT (AP) – The Michigan Supreme Court unanimously overturned the decisions of a Kalamazoo-area judge who terminated the parental rights of a poor couple after their two children had missed 25% of school.

While the absences in 2017-18 were higher than the school’s average, there was no evidence of resulting harm or neglect, the court said Friday, a key threshold when a judge decides whether to take jurisdiction over children.

The case was closely watched by advocates for poor families, especially during a pandemic when education has been significantly disrupted.

“In 2017, over 230,000 children were chronically absent,” Tim Pinto, an attorney for the father, said during arguments in March. “I’m positive that those stats are much worse today.”ADVERTISEMENThttps://0a667e7f654a162c79b85f21ab0f25c9.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html

Kalamazoo County Judge G. Scott Pierangeli placed the two children in foster care in 2018 and ordered the parents to meet several conditions, including drug screens, counseling, psychological evaluation and employment.

Parental rights were subsequently terminated because the couple didn’t engage in certain services, according to a summary of the case.

“If the only issue was school absenteeism, I’m not sure the service plan made sense,” Pinto said in an interview Monday.

One child’s first-grade teacher said he had been performing at grade level despite absences. There was no testimony about his sister’s performance, according to the child welfare appellate clinic at University of Michigan law school, which represented the father.ADVERTISEMENThttps://0a667e7f654a162c79b85f21ab0f25c9.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html

The case now will return to Kalamazoo County. The children’s mother did not appeal the termination of her parental rights at the Supreme Court.

Before losing their rights, the couple had many challenges. They fell behind in rent after the funeral of a 22-year-old daughter. The father also was hospitalized with a chronic illness.

The Supreme Court agreed with an appellate judge who said Pierangeli was wrong to take control over the children, who now are 9 and 13.

“Ideally, every child should have perfect school attendance, but I cannot conclude that a 75% average absenteeism rate is a convincing force of there being educational neglect that is on the level of child abuse,” Judge Michael Riordan said last year.

Than you for sending me a copy of your resonse to Ms Casnovia’s complaint to the IARDC concerning the fact that Dean Sallas was able to attend the July 28, 2020 hearing and to learn about the 755 ILCS 5/11a – 22 criminal violation that occurred on January 25, 2018.    

While Ms. Casanovia does no say so in her letter of complaint what really frosts her was that he lack of candor in Judge Boliker’s courtroom on February 15, 2018 (and apparently at other times) was exposed.    
whether Mr. Golbert has any intellectual or other respect for Judge Boliker as he appointed fiduciary he does have to at least give the expression of respect.    Dean was over at the house yesterday and he pointed out some items in the 11th current account that if I were Judge Boliker at the present time I would be livid.   
Let me be mores specific.   On February 15, 2018 when Casanovia appeared for Golbert in Judge Boliker’s courtroom she was careful NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THE LOAN DOCUMENTS HAD BEEN ALREADY SIGNED BY AMY.   This had to be deliberate.    On July 28, 2020 Ms. Casanova again was careful not to disclose to Judge Boliker that CHARLES GOLBERT, the COOK COUNTY PUBLIC GUARDIAN, had signed a blank signature page that was attached to EXHIBIT h – The predatory loan documents!   He had not executed an EXCULPATION CLAUSE and therefore the words and phrases of the signature page made him personally liable on the loan.
It appears from papers furnished Dean by Byline Bank that Golbert has attempted to at this late to negotiate an exculpation from the Byline Bank.    This also was not disclosed to Judge Boliker.  He and Ms. Casanovia appear completely confident that the Judge will rubber stamp anything that they put in front of her and will allow the abandonment of $300,000 in equity.   
In the olden days – back in the 2oth Century lawyers protected a Judge from being ‘sold!’  I remember on several occasions telling a Judge he was being ‘played’ or ‘sold.’   The 1st was at a Kiwanis meeting in direct response to a question and the 2nd when the Judge gave me ride home and confided in me that he was upset by something that occurred in his courtroom on that day.   Had I not been asked the question directly I would have volunteered it.   Judge Boliker is entitled to same courtesy BUT I do not expect anyone will provide her with it.
As the Attorney General of the State and the Illinois Department of Aging are both designated to help seniors who are being exploited I’ve copied both in this e-mail.   I’ve also coied the FBI and others.  Everyone is on the record as being against the HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN THE ELDERLY however,  the no one has stepped up to help Dean Sallas or any of the other victims.
