Must a court be the only authority responsible for the reshaping of statues to fit the
new world we live in to deter fraud and human abuse?
Must a court continue to have the authority to protect all vulnerable citizens from
exploitations?
Must a court bare the burden of interpreting what is dishonesty or misrepresentation of
facts that constitute penalty or not?

1.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
This case arose out of Plaintiffs employment at Detroit East Community Mental Health Center
involves the wrongful termination, sexual harassment, credential abuse related to Medicaid
fraud, and abuse of power structure.
On August 4, 2017 Plaintiff found fraud on the Wayne County Circuit Court private register of
action that states : Statistical Closures 02/ 07/ 2013 Dismissed by party Case Status: 02/
07/2013 final. This is clearly Fraud upon the court. plaintiff never dismissed his case., and the
defendants attorneys continued litigation in this case for seven years. This new information
represents abuse towards pro se litigants that only benefits people in administrative
authority. This clearly shows that this action was done with malice and forethought. This action
breaches the character of the court. Plaintiff Joseph White became aware of this fraud on
the private register of action docket in his case and a client named Tiffany Wilson's case, after
his wife Brenda white, found fraud on the register of action docket in both of her cases. In
one of her case named: Brenda White v Southeast Michigan Surgical Hospital and Dr. Gary W.
Docks on the Macomb County Circuit Court public register of action it states: case number
2012-002017-NH Medical Malpractice file date 05/03/2012 closed Uncontested/Def/ Settled.
and the public register of action also states: Case disposition Uncontested /Def/ Settled date
08/20/2012 case Judge Edward A. Servitto Jr. In plaintiffs wife other case named Brenda
Ford White v O.L. Matthews M.D. et, al on the Wayne County Third Circuit Court private
register of action docket it states: Statistical closures 01/ 10/ 2014 Uncontested/ Default /
Settled case Status: 01/14/ 2014 final. Case: 13- 013472-NH. These cases was never settled,
and the cases are still in the court, except for Tiffany Wilson's case. This is clearly a mock
kangaroo court designed to pervert equal justice, and it clearly shows a pattern of corruption.
And it is a violation of public safety.
To add insult to injury, the attorneys, Karen B. Berkery, Kristen L. Cook ,Brett J. Miller,
Reginald G. Dozier, and plaintiffs former attorney April Kreger, and the law firm I.A.B.
Attorneys at law rendered Tiffany Wilson a Detroit East eight year HUD Housing consumer
homeless and voiceless in her civil case, and to show a further pattern of corruption and a
violation of public safety, plaintiff Joseph White found fraud on the public register of action
docket of Tiffany Wilson on August 4, 2017 , in the Wayne County Third Circuit Court, that
states Statistical Closures 01/18/2013 Uncontested/ Default/ Settled/ Case Status: 01/24/ 2013
final. case name: Tiffany Wilson v Carl Coleman. et al, Case: 12-006875-CZ. An Application for
leave to appeal was filed in the Tiffany Wilson v Carl Coleman et al, case with a Michigan Court
of Appeals docket # of 340491. On February 16, 2018, Plaintiff Tiffany Wilson's application was
2.
denied for lack of merit in the grounds presented. Tiffany Wilson was not able to file her
application for leave to appeal in the Michigan Supreme Court, because she did not have a
replicable attorney.
Fraud on the register of action was reported on all cases listed above to the Chief
Commissioner Mark Stoddard, from the Michigan Court of Appeals Grand Rapids office. Mr
Stoddard has made docket entries on the Court of Appeals docket for docket # 338125 Brenda
Ford White v 0 L Matthews M.D. in regards to fraud. Mr. Stoddard has also made docket
entries on the Court of Appeals docket for docket # 338256 Brenda White v Southeast
Michigan Surgical Hospital et al, in regards to fraud. On 8/4/ 2017, Chief Commissioner Mark
Stoddard made a docket entry on the Court of Appeals docket for docket# 333371 Joseph
White v Detroit East Community Mental Health et al, in regards to fraud.
On August 15, 2017 plaintiffJoseph White, filed a Motion for Relief from Judgment in the
Wayne County Third Circuit Court in regards to Fraud on the court. On September 15, 2017 the
Motion Hearing was held in front of Judge Muriel D. Hughes. On October 4, 2017 Judge Muriel
D. Hughes issued an Opinion and Order denying plaintiffs Motion for Relief from Judgment.
The decision of Judge Muriel D. Hughes clearly shows that she wants to continue fraud on the
court.
Judge Muriel D. Hughes conspired with Court Clerk Cathy Garrett, AFSCME Union officials ,
attorney Richard Mack, Judge Austin Garrett, Cathy Garrett's husband Keith Williams, Kathy
Garrett's brother AFSCME Union president Al Garrett, and Paralegal Claude D. Boling to cover
up for the Wayne County corrupt Machine.
Individual or the society at large responsible for causing this problem? Who is ultimately,
responsible for solving it? As with most social problems, the individual is challenged to solve
"his/her" problems faster than the society will address larger structural issues. For example
through the definition of the family continues to evolve from a conventional model to many
non-traditional forms, most employers continue to base their social policies regarding workers
on the nuclear family structure (Akabas, 1985)
After Ten years at Detroit East Gateway Community Mental Health service providers, plaintiff
was overworked, underpaid, humiliated, and sexually harassed by his supervisor Doris
Sterrett . Plaintiff Joseph White, was ignored by administrative staff and peers. Plaintiff Found
himself in a dark place for eight /2 years in a mock kangaroo court.
Joseph White, filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court on
September 17, 2015, and on February 3, 2016 a petition for rehearing was filed. On October 17,
2017, Joseph White filed a second Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme
Court.

from judgment, and plaintiffs application for leave to appeal was denied by the Michigan

cite several different civil actions, but assert that the Court of Appeals has determined that
these cases are criminal, You state that the Court of Appeals issued orders recognizing those
cases are criminal, but you failed to provide copies of any such orders. I have considered your
request and reviewed the Court of Appeals records concerning the cases in which either one of
you was a party. I am simply not persuaded that there is any valid basis for the involvement of
the Attorney General in your lawsuits. Likewise, I see no basis for any criminal proceedings
based on the information you presented. Within the scope of prosecutorial discretion, I am
closing our file on this matter without further action. ( exhibit F attached)

America claim to be.

Whenever any officer of the court commits fraud during a proceeding in the court, he/she is
engaged in "fraud upon the court. "In Bulloch v United States, 763 F. 2d 1115, 1121 (10, Cir.
1985), the court stated "Fraud Upon the court" is fraud directed to the Judicial machinery itself
and is not fraud between the parties or fraudulent documents, false statements or perjury....lt
is where the court or a member is corrupted or influenced or influence is attempted or where
the judge has not performed his judicial function ---thus where the impartial functions of the
court has been directly corrupted." "Fraud upon the court" has been defined by the 7th Circuit
Court of Appeals to "embrace that species of fraud which does, or attempts to defile the court
itself, or is a fraud perpetrated by officers of the court so that the judicial machinery can not
perform in the usual manner its impartial task of adjudging cases that are presented for
adjudication. " Kenner V C.I.R., 387 F.3d 689 (1968); 7 Moore's Federal Practice, 2d ed., p. 51211
60.23. The 7th Circuit further stated " a decision produced by fraud upon the court is not in
essence a decision at all, and never becomes final.
"Fraud upon the court" makes void the orders and judgments of the court. It is also clear and
well- settled Illinois law that any attempt to commit "Fraud upon the court" vitiates the entire
proceeding. The people of the state of Illinois v Fred E. Sterling, 357 III. 354; 192N.E. 229 (1934)
(" The maxim that fraud vitiates every transactions into which it enters applies to judgments as
well as to contracts and other transactions."); Allen F. Moore v. Stanley F. Sievers, 336 III. 316;
168 N.E. 259 (1929) (The maxim that fraud vitiates every transaction into which it enters"...) In
re village of Willowbrook, 37 III. App. 2d 393 (1962) ("It is axiomatic that fraud vitiates
everything".); Dunham v Dunham, 57111. App. 475 (1894), affirmed 162 III. 589 (1896); Skelly
Oil Co. v Universal Oil Products Co., 338 III. App 79, 86 N.E. 2d 875, 883-4 (1949); Thomas
Stasel v. The American Home Security Corporation, 362 III. 350; 199 N.E. 798 (1935)
Under Illinois and Federal law, when any officer of the court has committed "fraud upon the
court "the orders and the judgment of that court are void, of no legal force or effect.
Courts have repeatedly held that positive proof of the partiality of a judge is not a requirement,
only the appearance of partiality. Liljeberg v health Services Acquisition Corp., 486 U.S. 847,
108 S. Ct. 2194 (1988) ( what matters is not the reality of bias or prejudice but it's
appearance) ; United States v Balistrieri, 779 F. 2d 1191 ( 7th Cir. 1985) (Section 455(a) " is
directed against the appearance of partiality, whether or not the judge is actually biased."
("section 455(a) of the Judicial Code, 28 U.S.0 §455(a), is not intended to protect litigants from
actual bias in their judge but rather to promote public confidence in the impartiality of the
judicial process.").
16.
The court also stated that Section 455(a) "requires a judge to recuse himself in any proceeding
in which her or his impartiality might reasonability be questioned. " Taylor v. O'Grady, 888 F.2d
1189 (7th Cir. 1989). In Pfizer Inc. v Lord 456 F.2d 532 (8th Cir. 1972), the court stated that " It is
important that the litigant not only actually receives justice, but that he believes that he
received justice."
The supreme court has ruled and has reaffirmed the principle that "justice must satisfy the
appearance of justice "Levine v United States, 362 U.S. 610, 80 S. Ct. 1038 (1960), citing Offutt
v. United States, 348 U.S. 11, 14, 75 S. Ct. 11, 13 (1954). A judge receiving a bribe from an
interesting party over which he is presiding, does not give the appearance of justice. Recusal
under Section 455 is self — executing; a party need not file affidavits in support of recusal and
the judge is obligated to recuse herself or himself sua sponte under the stated circumstances."
Taylor v. 0' Grady, 888 F. 2d 1189 (7th Cir. 1989). Further, the judge has a legal duty to
disqualify himself even if there is no motion asking for his disqualification. The Seventh Circuit
Court of Appeals further stated that " We think that this language (455(a) imposes a duty on
the judge to act sua sponte, even if no motion or affidavit is filed. "Balistrieri, at 1202. Judges
do not have discretion not to disqualify themselves. By law, they are bound to follow the Law.
Should a judge not disqualify himself as required by law, then the judge has given another
example of his "appearance of partiality " which, possibly, further disqualifies the judge. Should
another judge not accept the disqualification of the judge then the second judge has evidenced
an "appearance of partiality" and possibly disqualified himself/herself. None of the orders
issued by any judge who has been disqualified by law would appear to be valid. It would appear
that they are void as a matter of law, and are of no legal force or effect. Should a judge not
disqualify himself, then the judge is violation of the Due Process Clause of the U.S.
Constitution. United States v Sciuto, 521 F. 2d 842 845 (7th Cir. 1996) (" The right to a tribunal
free from bias or prejudice is based , not on section 144, but on the Due Process Clause.")
If you are non- represented litigant, and should the court not follow the law as to nonrepresented litigants, then the judge has expressed an "appearance of partiality" and, under
the law, it would seem that he/she has disqualified him/herself.
However, since not all judges keep up to date in the law, and since not all judges follow the law,
it is possible that a judge may not know the ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court and the other
courts on the subject. Notice that it states "disqualification " is required and that a judge must
be disqualified" under certain circumstances.
17.
The Supreme Court has also held that if a judge wars against the constitution, or if he acts
without jurisdiction, he has engaged in treason to the constitution. If a judge acts after he or
she has been automatically disqualified by law, then he or she is acting without jurisdiction and
that suggest that he is then engaging in criminal acts of treason, and may be engaged in
extortion and the interference with interstate commerce. Courts have repeatedly ruled that
judges have no immunity for their criminal acts. Since both treason and the interference with
interstate commerce are criminal acts. no judge has immunity to engage in such act.
REASONS FOR GRANTING THE PETITION
The Jurisdiction of this Court is invoked under 28 U.S.0 .§ 1257(a).
Equality before the law, like universal suffrage, holds a privileged place in our political system,
and to deny equality before the law delegitimizes that system...When these rights are denied,
the expectation that the affronted parties should continue to respect the political system ...
that they should continue to treat it as a legitimate political system--has no basis. The abuse of
power by a public or private official for private gain. Corruption is so common that it is
expected when ordinary business or citizen interact with government funds or officials. We
must continue to hold ourselves accountable. A person who does not hold themselves
accountable to anyone, holds themselves accountable to nothing.
Conclusion
For the reasons stated in this petition for writ of certiorari, petitioner Joseph White prays this
Court issue a writ of certiorari.
Respectfully Submitted,
Date: April 17, 2020
