What the Record Establishes

  • On July 31 a reviewing court ordered that he “shall file nothing further with this court and shall not communicate by any means with appellee’s counsel.” The order is published here in full.
  • On August 7 an intake queue refused his August 6 submission by citing an order entered that same day.
  • On August 7 the Office of the Illinois Attorney General told a federal judge that Illinois’ corrective process was open and adequate.
  • On August 13 officers came to his door on a warrant issued May 28 and asked for him by name.

What They Have Not Produced

  • The written instruction and authority behind two intake refusals in two districts. Asked August 13. Nothing published.
  • Whether any court has examined the July 31 filing restriction on its own terms. Two orders have now issued without mentioning it.
  • Which agency entered or maintains the warrant record under ORI IL0492900. Asked of the Illinois State Police July 29. Nothing produced.
  • Whether a motion to stay has been filed by the only person now permitted to file one.

This chapter has a spine and it is three sentences long. A court told him to stop filing. Two clerks’ offices refused what he filed anyway, one of them citing an order that did not exist when he filed. And on the same day as the second refusal, the State of Illinois told a federal judge that its courts were open to him and that his complaints described “merely the procedures every pro se criminal defendant must comply with.”

Everything below is the documentary record of those three sentences, between August 2 – August 14, 2026. Every file is published whole. Every page count is read from the PDF. Every digest is computed from the bytes on disk. Nothing here is characterized where it can be quoted, and nothing is quoted that was not checked against the source character for character.

The stories

Appeal 2-26-0352The Order Was Entered August 7. He Found Out on August 10.A reviewing court entered an order deciding whether he would be allowed to speak for himself. Three days passed before anyone told him. In those three days, a clerk refused his filing by citing the order he had not seen.Appeal 1-26-0055One Court Barred Him From Filing. The Other Never Did — and Refused Him Anyway.The First District’s own July 31 order puts the record deadline on the appellant by name. Four days later its intake queue told him to contact his attorney instead. There is no order behind those nine words.Cook County ChanceryA Court Ruled by Email. In Illinois, a Court Speaks Through Its Written Orders.At 1:57 p.m. on August 12, a judicial law clerk wrote that the court “finds no present emergency.” It is not signed. It is not entered. It is not on the docket. And that is precisely what makes it unreviewable.warrant 314270At Three O’Clock They Came to the Door and Asked for Him by Name.He was not home. The doorbell was not charged. There is no recording — and the declaration says so in writing rather than letting the absence be discovered. Its restraint is exactly what makes it dangerous.Rule 775The State Told a Reviewing Court That His Disciplinary Complaints Justified Silencing Him.Paragraph 13 of a verified objection filed August 5 says the filing bar is “further justified by defendant’s harassing Notice of Disciplinary Referral.” Rule 775 privileges those communications.Rule 45The Notice Ordered Him to Court and Left Out the One Thing Rule 45 Requires.The notice carried a date, an hour, a courtroom and an address. No meeting ID. No passcode. No dial-in. No statement about remote attendance at all. Rule 45(b)(4) uses the word “shall.”FOIA 079127The Attorney General Searched for Records of a Case It Is Litigating.

The chronology

  1. August 2, 2026
    Four Letters, Four Institutions, One Appendix

    The structural round goes out: a FOIA and Brady-policy demand to the State’s Attorney, a Giglio notice to the Public Defender, a systemic notice to the State Appellate Defender, and a compiled-records request to the Circuit Clerk — thirty-two pages of letters over a shared eleven-exhibit appendix.

  2. August 3, 2026
    The Attorney General Searches and Finds Nothing

    FOIA 079127 closes with a sentence: “this office has conducted a search of its records, and we have located no records responsive to your request.” The request had named specific custodians and a fifteen-day window. A notice of reliance goes back the same day.

  3. August 3, 2026
    Emergency Omnibus Filed in the Second District

    A sixteen-page emergency omnibus motion and the fourth Rule 328 supplemental supporting record, Exhibits MM–QQ, are submitted in Appeal No. 2-26-0352 — after the July 31 order directing that the appellant himself file nothing further.

  4. August 4, 2026
    Nine Words From an Intake Queue

    At 3:49 p.m. the First District rejects envelope 39310613, submitted two days earlier. The rejection comment reads, in its entirety: “Contact your attorney at the State Appellate Defenders office.” No First District order restricts this appellant from filing anything.

  5. August 4, 2026
    Appointed Counsel Asks to Be Discharged

    The Office of the State Appellate Defender files its own motion to be discharged in the Second District appeal, with a cover letter to the appellant. Both sides now want the appointment undone.

  6. August 5, 2026
    The State Objects — and Puts Two Sentences on the Record

    A fifty-six-page verified objection tells the reviewing court that the filing bar “is further justified by defendant’s harassing Notice of Disciplinary Referral,” and that “OSAD counsel has explicitly confirmed their willingness to seek the relief they may ethically pursue: a stay on the circuit court’s June 17, 2026 order.” A response is filed the same day.

  7. August 6, 2026
    The Rule 45 Round, and a Notice With No Platform On It

    The notice that ordered an appearance in Courtroom 611 on August 6 carries a date, an hour, a courtroom, a street address and a phone number — and no meeting ID, no passcode, no dial-in, and no statement that the setting may or may not be attended remotely. Rule 45(b)(4) says such notices “shall include” that information. Eleven Rule 45 quotations were verified verbatim against the official text before a word of the motion was written.

  8. August 6, 2026
    Envelope 39386845, Submitted 11:31 a.m.

    A supplement containing a declaration and renewing the request for a special prosecutor goes into the Second District queue, together with the fifth Rule 328 supplemental record, Exhibits RR–WW.

  9. August 7, 2026
    Refused at 12:15 p.m. by an Order Entered That Same Day

    Envelope 39386845 is rejected. The comment reads: “See order of 8/7.” The document was submitted on August 6. The order invoked to refuse it was entered on August 7 — the day after the submission and the same day as the refusal.

  10. August 7, 2026
    The Order That Answers a Question Nobody Asked

    The Second District denies the motion to vacate the appointment and denies counsel’s motion to withdraw. It finds that the appellant “clearly made multiple requests for counsel,” then applies the rule that he has “no constitutional right to represent himself.” It never mentions the filing bar or the communication bar.

  11. August 10, 2026
    Three Days Later, the Order Arrives

    At 3:17 p.m. the Deputy Defender emails the August 7 order and writes that “our office will continue to be the attorney on your case.” Until that message, the appellant did not know the order existed.

  12. August 11, 2026
    Two Clocks Start in Two Districts

    The Second District fixes the report of proceedings at September 10 and the record on appeal at September 24. The Attorney General answers a separate request by citing 5 ILCS 140/3(c): the entirety of an electronic FOIA request must appear in the body of the email, and the office is not obliged to open an attachment.

  13. August 11, 2026
    Disqualification Motion Circulated to Chancery Calendar 5

    At 7:36 p.m., an emergency motion to disqualify outside municipal counsel is submitted through eFileIL and circulated to chambers and all counsel with a verified declaration, a proposed order, a notice of filing, Exhibits A–U at Bates PR-000001 through PR-000078, and a SHA-256 integrity manifest.

  14. August 12, 2026
    A Ruling That Is Not an Order

    At 1:57 p.m. a judicial law clerk writes: “The Court finds no present emergency in the unfiled Motion provided in the email below.” In Illinois a court speaks through its written orders. There is no written order — which means the ruling binds and cannot be reconsidered, appealed, or taken up under Rule 383, because Rule 383 requires the order to be attached.

  15. August 13, 2026
    Three O’Clock, at the Front Door

    Officers come to 8516 West Winona Street and ask for the appellant by name on a warrant issued May 28. He is not home. The video doorbell is not charged and does not record. The verified declaration says all of that, names its second-hand source, and expressly declines to accuse any officer of anything.

  16. August 13, 2026
    Eight Packages, Three Courts, Four Agencies

    Motions into the Second District, the First District and Cook County Chancery; letters to appointed counsel, to two appellate clerks, to the Attorney General’s FOIA officer, and to the municipality whose ORI appears on the warrant. The two districts are kept strictly separate — each package names only its own district’s clerk, counsel, orders and envelope number.

  17. August 14, 2026
    Six Transmissions, Two Offices, One Digest

    Two requests for investigation go to both ARDC offices — six faxes in total. Each cover sheet prints the SHA-256 of the complete original instrument, states which pages of the original it carries, discloses that it is an unaltered re-transmission rather than an amended request, and prints both offices’ fax numbers so neither opens a duplicate intake.

  18. July 8, 2026
    The Federal Court Sets the Board

    A minute entry orders the respondent to answer by August 10 and permits a reply by August 31, adding: “Other than this reply, Petitioner may not file anything else without leave.” Nothing further is filed on that docket for thirty-three days.

  19. August 7, 2026
    The Same Day, in Two Buildings

    At 12:15 p.m. an Illinois appellate clerk’s office refuses envelope 39386845 by citing an order entered that same day. Also on August 7, the Office of the Illinois Attorney General signs and files a fourteen-page motion telling a federal judge that Illinois’ corrective process is open, usable, and adequate — and that the petitioner’s lockout complaints are “merely the procedures every pro se criminal defendant must comply with.”

  20. August 7, 2026
    Presentment Set at a Courthouse He Cannot Safely Enter

    Dkt. 52 notices the motion for August 19 at 11:00 a.m. at 219 South Dearborn. The State’s own Exhibit M, filed with the motion, is the outstanding warrant of arrest that would be executed on him if he walked in.

  21. August 8, 2026
    Conferral, and a Number

    Asked whether the State objects to an over-length reply, counsel answers in writing: “We have no objection to your motion to file a reply not to exceed 30 pages.” The completed reply runs thirty-nine. The nine-page difference is presented to the court as opposed, rather than buried.

  22. August 10, 2026
    The Concordance the State Should Have Filed

    Two hundred ninety-eight pages go onto the federal docket. Two of them are the motion. The rest is what the State omitted: a table mapping all seventeen exhibit letters to their CM/ECF attachment and PageID span, and a thirty-nine-page reply with 253 Bates-numbered exhibit pages behind it.

  23. August 10, 2026
    Eighteen Representations, Answered One at a Time

    The declaration at Dkt. 54 measures the State’s motion against the State’s own filed exhibits. On four of eighteen representations, the document cited says the opposite of the sentence citing it. Two of those four are dispositive.

  24. August 19, 2026
    Presentment

    The motion to dismiss the habeas petition is set for presentment before the district judge. The reply the court authorized is due August 31, 2026.

The officials the record names

Each page states the authority the office actually carries, the dated act the record establishes, and the specific records that office has been asked for and has not produced. Receipt is not guilt. A title is not a finding. Nobody on this list has been charged with or convicted of anything, and no page says otherwise.
