A woman alleging a landlord’s failure to provide smoke detectors caused her relative to die in a fire is asking the court to withdraw an order preserving evidence after she previously requested the preservation.

Lisa Jones, as special administrator of the estate of Debra Condor, filed her lawsuit on Aug. 26 against Sandra Hernandez, alleging violation of the Smoke Detector Act.

In her complaint, Jones alleges Condor was a tenant in a room in Hernandez’s house, located at 1620 Courtney Blvd. in Granite City. On March 21, a fire occurred at the residence, resulting in Condor’s death from injuries sustained in the fire, the suit states.

Jones alleges Hernandez failed to install a sufficient number of smoke detectors, failed to implement fire safety policy for her tenants and failed to provide written information regarding a smoke detector.

The court entered an order preserving the property, and Jones filed a motion to withdraw the courts order.

Jones originally requested the preservation, but now no longer wants the property preserved. She claims the house is in disrepair and the Madison County Inspector plans to tear it down.

Hernandez filed a motion for substitution of judge on Jan. 20. The case had been assigned to Circuit Judge Andreas Matoesian.

Jones seeks a judgment in excess of $50,000, plus court costs.

She is represented by George Albers of the Roth Law Offices LLC in Granite City.

Hernandez is represented by John Cunningham and Denise Baker-Seal of Brown & James in Belleville.

A patient voluntarily dismissed BJC Healthcare from her medical malpractice suit alleging she developed sepsis following surgery.

Plaintiffs Paula and Frederick Quinn filed the voluntary dismissal without prejudice for defendant BJC Healthcare ACO, LLC, on Jan. 17 through attorney Craig Anthony Schlapprizzi of Donald Schlapprizzi PC in St. Louis.

The Quinns also filed a first amended complaint on Jan. 17 against Alton Multispecialists LTD, Alton Memorial Hospital and Dr. James Kliefoth.

Madison County Circuit Judge Barbara Crowder had previously granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss for failing to provide separately designated and numbered counts. However, she allowed the plaintiffs to amend their complaint.

The plaintiffs allege that Paula Quinn was injured on July 8, 2013, and needed surgical repairs, described as an “excision of skin fistula in abdominal wound.”

Quinn alleges the defendants failed to take proper precautions given the “thin and friable” nature of the tissue in her abdomen. She claims Kliefoth perforated her bowel and failed to properly repair the damage, resulting in a leakage.

As a result of her perforated bowel, Quinn alleges she suffered postoperative shock, severe sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis. She had to be transported via helicopter to Barnes-Jewish Hospital for emergency surgery to save her life, the suit states.

The Quinns seek $50,000 for each of the four counts in the complaint.

Madigan's move to force budget resolution digs at Lechien for undermining legislative process

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan pleads that St. Clair County Circuit Judge Robert LeChien undermined the Illinois Constitution when he ordered the comptroller to continue paying state employees at normal rates.
 
Madigan petitioned to intervene in LeChien’s court on Jan. 26, for the purpose of filing a motion to dissolve a preliminary injunction he signed in August 2015.
 
“By allowing the legislature and the executive to avoid their constitutional role in the budget process, the injunction has undermined the budget process and resulted in great public harm, damaging the integrity of the state’s constitutional form of government,” Madigan wrote in the motion.

“Because of the injunction, which is broad and covers all state employees, not only members of the plaintiff unions, the state is spending money without the constitutionally required authorization by the legislature and executive.”

She wrote that the state operated for the last fiscal year and the first half of this fiscal year without appropriations legislation authorizing payment of wages, and proposes to dissolve the order on Feb. 28, so that the legislative and executive branches would have time to enact appropriations.

“With no possibility of a government shutdown to force action by the legislative and executive braches, the state has continued to operate without a budget to fund many services provided by vendors and grantees,” she wrote.

“Those vendors and grantees and the many Illinoisans they serve are bearing the brunt of this egregious and untenable budget impasse.”
 
She wrote that she acted on behalf of the people, not of any elected official.
 
She wrote that comptroller Susana Mendoza did not join the motion but would abide by any ruling of the court.
 
The last state budget expired on June 30, 2015, and collective bargaining agreements between the state and its unions expired on the same date.
 
To preserve the normal payroll, the unions sued Gov. Bruce Rauner and former comptroller Leslie Munger in St. Clair County chancery court.
 
Rauner and Munger retained private counsel, but Madigan sent assistants to a hearing to argue that they represented Munger.
 
They argued that federal law required payment of all employees at minimum wage pending passage of a budget.
 
LeChien allowed Munger to keep her lawyer, who described temporary conversion to minimum wage as a nearly impossible task.
 
On July 10, 2015, LeChien entered a temporary restraining order requiring Munger to authorize a normal payroll.
 
He converted it to a preliminary injunction on Aug. 13.
 
Rauner and the unions agreed to preserve the terms of all bargaining agreements until negotiations succeeded or reached an impasse.
 
No further proceedings took place in LeChien’s court, until Madigan filed her petition for intervention and motion for dissolution.
 
She argued that LeChien can’t make his order permanent because the Illinois Supreme Court rejected the position of the unions in a separate case last March.

In that case, six of seven Justices found that pay raises in a collective bargaining agreement are always contingent on legislative funding.
 
They reversed First District appellate judges in Chicago, who had ruled in favor of Local 31 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
 
Justice Mary Jane Theis wrote, “The power to appropriate for the expenditure of public funds is vested exclusively in the General Assembly; no other branch of government holds such power.”
 
The Justices denied rehearing last May and issued a mandate in June.
 
Madigan’s motion for dissolution argues that the Supreme Court spoke directly to the issues before LeChien, and that plaintiffs cannot prevail.
 
She quoted Theis on the General Assembly’s exclusive power and wrote, “Consistent with the Supreme Court’s ruling, this court should restore that power to the proper branch of government and dissolve the preliminary injunction.”
 
Meanwhile, litigation continues in LeChien’s court and elsewhere over Rauner’s declaration that negotiations reached an impasse and the old contract expired.

Judges of the First, Fourth, and Fifth Districts have involved themselves in cases out of Cook County, the state Labor Relations Board, and St. Clair County.
 
All the cases relate to three labor board declarations of an impasse, the first one oral, the second in writing without a public vote, and the third by public vote.
 
The union has asked the Supreme Court to consolidate the First District and Fourth District cases at the First District, which ruled in its favor.
 
Rauner has asked the Justices to consolidate the First District and Fourth District cases at the Fourth District, which ruled in his favor.
 
Fourth District judges branded simultaneous review of an administrative decision as an offense against judicial efficiency.
 
“Not only was it perversely unhelpful to split this matter up between the First District and the Fourth District, but the apparent forum shopping insults both districts by implying that they are sympathetic to one party or the other and that they therefore lack judicial integrity,” they wrote.

The dispute involved the Fifth District after LeChien signed an order in the union’s favor, preserving the status quo under the old contract.

Fifth District judges ruled that the legal basis for LeChien’s order no longer existed because the labor board took formal action after he signed it.
 
They issued a mandate on Jan. 27, directing LeChien to “make a determination on the temporary restraining order under the facts as they currently exist.”

Lisa Madigan still trying to stiff state workers

January 31, 2017, 4:50 am

“Why has she stood silently by each year in office as [the] General Assembly passed unconstitutional budgets for 12 years?”
That's the question Illinois State Representative Grant Wehrli tweeted last Saturday in response to State Attyorney General Lisa Madigan's filing of a motion in St. Clair County Circuit Court two days earlier to strip state workers of their pay pending resolution of a contract dispute.
Intervening in a lawsuit brought against Gov. Bruce Rauner by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Madigan moved to dissolve by Feb. 28 a preliminary injunction requiring state workers to be paid in the absence of a budget.
Wehrli's question was a rhetorical one. Familiar with the Madigan M.O., he knows that Lisa's latest ploy is solely intended to obstruct the governor's agenda and gain political advantage.
As Mark Glennon of WirePoints noted a year and a half ago when she first attempted to thwart payment of state workers, “Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan went to court yesterday to stop state worker paychecks during the government shutdown or to allow payment of no more $7.25 an hour – the minimum wage. That action, together with the background story behind it – use of the courts to deliberately sabotage an agreement both workers and the state want – comprise one of the most sordid chapters of Illinois politics in recent memory.”
As it happens, during a prior state budget crisis, Madigan actually helped ensure that public employees were paid their proper wages on time. On that previous occasion, of course, there was a Democrat governor involved, instead of a Republican. That, apparently, made all the difference.
“Lisa Madigan wants chaos and hardship to result from the budget impasse for the purpose of embarrassing the Rauner administration,” Glennon explained, “and she has sacrificed the interests of workers and the state towards that goal.”
Rather than suspend state worker pay, let's suspend Lisa's-- until she stops playing politics and starts doing her job.

Josh Evans joins Unsell and Schuman as partner; Expands firm to Jerseyville

Attorney Josh Evans joined The Law Offices of Unsell and Schuman as a partner at the beginning of this year.

He is running the East Alton firm’s new Jerseyville office, which was where Evans previously operated his personal law firm.

“I’m looking forward to serving the Unsell law firm’s clients as well as bringing my own clients into the mix,” Evans said. “I hope to continue their work to fight for the little guy.”

Evans focuses primarily on personal injury litigation, but also does criminal defense litigation.

The Unsell firm specializes in cases involving personal injury, wrongful death, workers' compensation, domestic law, criminal and probate.

Evans grew up in Green County. He joined the military after graduating high school in 2005. His service included two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.

After leaving the military in 2009, Evans attended St. Louis University Law School, graduating in 2014.

During his time at law school, Evans worked for the personal injury firm Myercord and Myercord in St. Louis. He also completed an internship with Bryan Cave in St. Louis.

While finishing law school, Evans chose to run for state representative for District 100.

Evans said he would campaign during the day and study for the bar exam at night.

He lost the 2014 election and started practicing law.

“Even though I lost, the great thing about running for office is I met a lot of people,” Evans said.

He added that it helped him gain exposure for his legal career.

Evans worked for a small firm in Jersey County for about a year before he branched out on his own.

He practiced personal injury litigation, criminal defense and general litigation at his own firm.

Evans currently serves as the commander for the Jersey County veterans’ organization Amvets.

He was also appointed to fill a vacancy with the Jersey County school board.
