IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOISEASTERN DIVISIONUnited States of America ex rel. )LINDA SHELTON )No. 09 C 105Petitioner )vs. )David H. Coar )Judge PresidingJesse Montgomery, Chief of Parole, Illinois )Department of Corrections )Case No. State Court 05 CR 12718Respondent )Joseph Kazmierski Trial Judge
MOTION TO RECONSIDER DISMISSAL OF PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
 NOW COMES, Linda Shelton, Petitioner pro se, who moves this Court to reconsider itsorder dismissing petition and in support of this motion states as follows:
SUMMARY
Judge Coar, or his law clerk if written by a clerk, has grossly misstated the facts in hisorder dismissing this case,
which renders the order to dismiss null and void
. An order is voidif its assumptions are groundless in fact. For a court to ignore the facts and engage in fantasticmisinterpretation of thefacts is simply negligent.
FACTS CONTRARY TO THE ORDER OF JUDGE COAR 
Defendant was declared indigent by the federal government when she was granted foodstamps (Exhibit A), SSI, (Exhibit B), and Medicaid (Exhibit C), retroactive to September 2008.Therefore, she is financially unable to afford to copy the full set of transcripts from the case tofile with the Circuit Court of Cook County Clerk.The issues in this motion to reconsider include:1.Is it constitutionally acceptable for the courts to require Defendant to file with the clerk her only copy of the self-compiled transcripts (paid for with borrowed money because though1
 
indigent Trial Court denied her these transcripts prior to sentencing) with confidential personalnotes written on it, thus depriving her of a copy to use for future appeals, collateral attacks, or habeas petition, and revealing privileged, confidential, emotional and personal information to the prosecution, despite the fact that the Trail Court
ordered
the court reporter to prepare and filewith the Trial Court Clerk, a separate set of transcripts?2.Is it constitutionally acceptable for the courts to
ignore and abandon
a previous TrialCourt order commanding the Court Reporter to make a second copy of the transcripts and file itwith the clerk, as required by Illinois Supreme Court Rule 607(b) (Exhibit D)? Can court agents(court reporters) commit contempt with impunity and have their criminal act condoned by thecourts? Doesn’t this bring the courts into disrepute for 
failing to enforce court orders
?3.Does this mean that Defendants must now assume that courts will ignore orders wily nily atthe convenience of the prosecution and so they can dismiss cases after dragging them onendlessly and destroying an innocent person’s life in the meantime? Does this act mean courtorders no longer have any force of law??? This only proves that American justice is a
MYTH
!!!Judge Coar, in his July 1, 2009 order dismissing the petition
stated falsely
that Petitioner was not credible when she insisted she did not receive transcripts from the court reporter. At thetime of filing of the petition, Petitioner had still not received
complete
transcripts, had notreceived a
compiled
free set of transcripts from the Court Reporter, and the Court Reporter had
not prepared and filed a set of transcripts with the Trial Court
. The July 10, 2008 letter toDefendant from Pamela Taylor, a court reporter supervisor, even stated that she would not provide a transcript missing the verification page without payment by Defendant,
in clearviolation of court orders
. Judge Coar misinterpreted the Court Reporter’s statement that she hadgiven Defendant 95 % of the transcripts. These
were not numbered, lettered, and compiled
2
 
transcripts, nor free transcripts
, as ordered by the Trial Court. Defendant attempted numeroustimes in August 2008, November 2008, February 2009, and June 2009 to compel court reportersto comply with court orders and provide the missing verification page and transcript withoutcharge, as well as prepare and file a second set of transcripts for the court. The Appellate Courtdenied all these motions to compel, as documented in attached Illinois Supreme Court motion(Exhibit E).
It is an absolute disgrace for Judge Coar to make such false statements
! Heshould have called a hearing to permit Defendant to answer his concerns and up to date him onthe changing situation, particularly because he took such an inordinately long period of timeeven to consider Respondent’s motion to dismiss. Habeas petition should be dealt with promptlyor they are meaningless. American justice is
FANTASY
!The situation changed from July 10, 2008 to the present. The Court Reporters providedmost of the missing transcripts in November 2008. However, Defendant, in addition to helpingdistressed and disabled family members as best she could, was both recovering from a stroke-like episode in July 2008, a cardiac procedure in August 2008 and still weak, as well as preparingfor another fraudulent felony trial in February 2009, in which Defendant was found
not guilty
,after an unlawful arrest and malicious prosecution by corrupt Illinois Attorney General LisaMadigan and corrupt Judge Pantle, used to retaliate against Defendant for her whistle blower activities in turning over evidence of their corruption to the FBI. In addition, she had lost her health insurance and was skipping medications she could no longer afford, damaging her health.That case involved another retaliatory attack against Defendant by corrupt politicians in Illinoisthat is the subject of a pending civil rights suit before Judge Lefkow. Therefore Defendant didnot read the transcripts closely, decide that the missing documents were not absolutely critical,3

Denied by Judge Coar who falsely stated it was I who is delaying filing of the record of proceedings - transcripts. This is gross mistatement of facts by Judge Coar amounting to judicial misconduct. I will now ask him for a certificate of appealability and when this is denied ask the 7th Cir Crt of Appeals for this COA, who will probably deny it and then I have to go to the US S Ct who will probably not hear it. This illustrates the "Myth of American Justice".
