On February 3, 1999 Justice Calvin C. Campbell denied the motion that his associates, Justices O'Brien, Hoffman, and Theis, the judicial objects of this disqualification motion, were disqualified.
On June 21, 1999 Justices O'Brien, Hoffman, and Theis ruled in Mr. Alpern's appeal.
An obvious attempt to penalize the appellant for challenging the authority of the Justices.
IN THE
APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS
FIRST DISTRICT
) ) EUGENE W. ALPERN, ) Appellate Ct. 98-2563 Petitioner-Appellant ) ) v. ) ) Trial Ct. 91-D-5122 PHYLLIS ALPERN, ) Respondent-Appellee ) Judge Veronica Mathein ) presiding )
NOW COMES the Petitioner, EUGENE ALPERN ("EUGENE") and moves this Honorable Court to disqualify certain justices for the multiple reasons stated below:
EUGENE is a news media reporter.
EUGENE has published critical information relative to the judicial misconduct of certain Justices of the First District Appellate Court.
The Justices who have been reported on are Justices Sheila M. O'Brien, Thomas Hoffman, Mary Jane Theis, Alan Greiman, Robert Chapman Buckley, and Michael J. Gallagher.
EUGENE has presented to Justices Sheila M. O'Brien, Thomas Hoffman, and Mary Jane Theis copies of the Judicial Inquiry Board complaint that he filed against them.
EUGENE has presented to Justice Alan Greiman copies of the Judicial Inquiry Board complaints against the three Justices in his role as Chairman of the Executive Committee of the First District Appellate Court and within his administrative duties, and pursuant to Code of Judicial Conduct Rule 63(B).
EUGENE's letters to Justice Greiman have been published on the Internet.
The failure of Justice Greiman to take any action against the three Justices evidences his connivance with the three Justices in their misconduct.
EUGENE has published the three Judicial Inquiry Board complaints on the Internet.
EUGENE suggests that the failure of Justices O'Brien, Hoffman, and Theis, and the connivance of Justice Greiman, to comply with the Rule of Law has (1) created an interference in interstate commerce, and (2) created a situation which has deprived the U.S. Government of certain income taxes. EUGENE suggests that the four Justices have engaged in actions of assisting, and aiding and abetting, a scheme of income tax fraud. EUGENE suggests that the actions of the Justices are criminal acts, and suggests that the Justices should not have placed themselves in a position to assist, or become a part of a scheme, of income tax fraud. This scheme of fraud could not have existed without the active participation of the Justices.
EUGENE has had published critical reports on Justices Chapman and Gallagher on the Internet.
Over 100,000 visitors to the web-site containing the critical reports on the six Justices have been recorded, with the number of visitors having doubled in the last six months and is expected to at least double within the next six months.
None of the charges of judicial misconduct against the six Justices have been controverted.
These six Justices have brought public disrepute to the Illinois judiciary.
EUGENE reasonably believes that none of the named Justices can act without bias or with impartiality against him.
EUGENE believes that each of the six Justices have acted, or will be acting, in violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct Rule 63(C)(1).
EUGENE believes that each of the above-named Justices should disqualify themselves from taking any action in any proceeding involving EUGENE ALPERN.
A copy of an affidavit from a third party is attached that substantiates EUGENE's belief that the Justices acted improperly against EUGENE.
WHEREFORE the Petitioner, EUGENE, prays that the Court should disqualify
Justices Sheila M. O'Brien, Thomas E. Hoffman, Mary Jane Theis, Alan Greiman,
Robert Chapman Buckley, and Michael J. Gallagher from hearing or ruling
in any matter in which EUGENE is a party.
