MOUNT VERNON – The Fifth District Appellate Court has upheld a decision denying a father’s motion to modify custody arrangements with his son. 

Justice Melissa A. Chapman wrote the Sept. 13 decision, with Justices James R. Moore and David K. Overstreet concurring.

The justices affirmed St. Clair County Associate Judge Julie Gomric who found that the child’s father, identified as Fernando in the ruling, had not sufficiently demonstrated that the changes would serve in the child’s best interests.

According to the order, the child, referred to as V.P., was born in 2004 to parents Victoria A. and Fernando P., who were not married. The couple broke up, and in March 2012 Victoria moved from Chicago to O’Fallon for a better job, taking V.P. with her. There, she formed a new relationship with Juan Carlos Avalos and had two more children with him.

Fernando filed a motion to transfer custody of V.P. to him, and the circuit court subsequently appointed an independent psychologist to determine whether Victoria’s moving of V.P. away from his hometown had put him in any kind of danger or harm. The doctor submitted an evaluation that said V.P. was under stress, but seemed comfortable with his families.

In January 2016, Fernando ended up filing several more motions, including one to modify custody, one asking that the court act on the psychologist’s evaluation, and one seeking a change in custody that alleged Victoria and Avalos neglected the child. According to Chapman’s decision, after a hearing on these motions, held March 22, the circuit court “found that Fernando had failed to establish that a modification was in V.P.’s best interests, though he had established a change in circumstances.”

On appeal, the court pointed out that he had made many errors in the content and presentation of his appeal, violating Supreme Court rules. 

“Due to the lack of reasoned argument and citation to authority, Fernando has forfeited appellate review of his arguments,” Chapman wrote. “Indeed, this court would be justified in striking Fernando’s brief and dismissing this appeal, given that the brief lacks any substantial conformity to the supreme court rules governing the contents of briefs and thus hinders appellate review.”

The court considered the appeal despite its flaws, given the important nature of the case. However, each of Fernando’s main arguments are easily dismissed in the opinion.

The appellate court further determined that the circuit court was correct not to accept Fernando’s supposed documentation showing Avalo’s alleged criminal record, as it was not a certified copy of conviction.

Finally, Chapman discussed the appellate court’s concurrence with the circuit court’s denial of a change in decision-making responsibilities and parenting time. 

“Here, the evidence did not establish that a modification in parental responsibilities or primary parenting time was necessary to serve V.P.’s best interests,” Chapman wrote. “The evidence showed that V.P. has lived with Victoria his whole life, he lives in a loving home with two half-siblings, he is doing fairly well in school, and he has friends. The circuit court’s denial of Fernando’s motion is reasonable and understandable, and it must be affirmed.”

BELLEVILLE – A woman alleges her decedent's lung cancer-related death was caused by exposure to asbestos.

Virginia Fetters, individually and as special administrator of the estate of David Fetters, deceased filed a complaint on Sept. 5 in the St. Clair County Circuit Court against Albany International Corp, Alfa Laval Inc., AstenJohnson Inc., et al. alleging negligence.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that various times during David Fetters' employment and military career from 1960 to 2008, he was exposed to and inhaled or ingested asbestos fibers from certain products manufactured, sold, distributed or installed by defendants. As a result, the suit states he was caused to develop lung cancer, an asbestos-induced disease, and died on Jan. 19. 

The plaintiff holds Albany International Corp, Alfa Laval Inc., AstenJohnson Inc., et al. responsible because the defendants allegedly negligently included asbestos fibers in their products when adequate substitutes were available and failed to provide adequate warnings and instructions concerning the dangers of working with or around products containing asbestos fibers.

The plaintiff seeks damages of more than $50,000. She is represented by Randy L. Gori and Barry Julian of Gori, Julian & Associates PC in Edwardsville.

BELLEVILLE – A motorist is seeking damages from a Cook County resident after a crash on Interstate 55.

Lashanda Bradford filed a complaint on Aug. 29 in the St. Clair County Circuit Court against Susan Trychta alleging negligence.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Aug. 9, 2016, she was traveling south on Interstate 55 in St. Clair County when her motor vehicle was struck by the vehicle being driven by defendant. She alleges she has suffered severe injuries resulting in pain, lost wages and loss of enjoyment of life.

The plaintiff holds Trychta responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to be attentive while driving and failed to take evasive actions to avoid collision.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks damages of more than $50,000 and such other relief that the court may deem just and proper. She is represented by Matthew P. Young of Kuehn, Beasley & Young PC in Belleville.

BELLEVILLE — An ironworker is suing general contractors after he allegedly suffered a broken rib and vertebrae when a column fell on him.

Nathan Owen filed a complaint on Aug. 29 in the St. Clair County Circuit Court against Keeley & Sons and The Kilian Corporation, alleging they failed to provide a safe place to work.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Aug. 8, 2016, he fell to the ground and an iron column fell on his chest while he was working for the defendants' subcontractor. 

As a result, he claims he suffered severe injuries, including four broken vertebrae and a broken rib. He also claims he suffered great pain, disability, medical expenses and lost wages. 

The plaintiff alleges the defendants failed to use wooden support beams with appropriate size and weight and failed to provide warning that the wooden support beams were inadequate.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks damages of more than $50,000, costs of this suit and any further relief that the court may deem just and equitable. 

He is represented by James P. Lemonds and Steven W. Duke of Brown & Crouppen PC in St. Louis.

St. Clair County Circuit Court case number 17-L-481

BENTON – District Judge David R. Herndon granted a Sniper Treestands' motion to exclude a pair of would-be expert witnesses in a suit alleging a man fell from defective equipment. 

Defendant W.I.C. Inc., doing business as Sniper Treestands, had challenged the qualifications or methodology of the plaintiff's experts. 

Herndon granted the motion to exclude on Sept. 5.

Plaintiff Jordan Queen alleges he suffered leg and ankle injuries in October 2013 when a Scout Model STLS41 tree stand used for deer hunting collapsed underneath him.

Queen filed suit, listing Sniper Treestands as a defendant.

As the case progressed, Queen sought to employ Santo Steven BiFulco, M.D. and Karen Grossman Tabak, Ph.D., C.P.A. as expert witnesses offering testimony about his injuries, condition and prospects for the future.

W.I.C. wasted little time objecting to both BiFulco and Tabak’s qualifications and the methodologies each of them used in arriving at their planned testimony.

According to the order, over the course of the proceedings, it was established that BiFulco, a psychiatrist, was hired to prepare a life care plan for Queen, outlining his “needs for treatment and medical services, as well as equipment necessary that he is reasonably certain to utilize in order to maximize his medical and rehabilitative potential.”

All of BiFulco’s work was done without him doing any scientific tests or experiments, Herndon states in his order.

W.I.C. also took exception with Tabak’s suitability for the case, arguing that the forensics economist’s methodologies rendered her projections about the “present value of plaintiff’s future medical care" wildly off base, largely because they were based on BiFulco’s “life plan” assessment.

Herndon held that “the district court must determine the expert’s reasoning or methodology is reliable. ... Specifically, the testimony must have a reliable basis in the knowledge and experience of the relevant discipline, ... consisting in more than subjective belief or unsupported speculation.”

“The court is simply not convinced by plaintiff’s arguments to support BiFulco’s report and opinions,” Herndon added.

In a response to several school districts’ opposition to their motion to dismiss, defendants named in a school funding dispute argue that it is the “legislature’s exclusive constitutional authority” to allocate state funds.

The complaint filed in April by Despres, Schwartz & Geoghegan Ltd. in Chicago and the Law Offices of Thomas E. Kennedy, III, L.C., in St. Louis, alleges Gov. Bruce Rauner, the State of Illinois and the Illinois State Board of Education failed to provide the funding necessary to achieve the more rigorous and expensive learning standards required in Illinois.

The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on June 15, arguing that the “current system is undoubtedly constitutional.”

The school districts filed a memorandum in opposition to the defendants’ motion to dismiss on July 19, arguing that the state defendants have no legal immunity from claims of violations of the Illinois Constitution and that they have proper standing to bring claims on behalf of the students.

The defendants filed a reply memorandum of law in support of their motion to dismiss on Aug. 9 through assistant attorney general Thomas A. Ioppolo.

Ioppolo argues that sovereign immunity applies in this case because the defendants include the State and the State Board of Education.

“Even though the Governor is also a defendant, that does not remove the bar of sovereign immunity because there is no claim the Governor is acting ultra vires or in violation of the Constitution. The Governor cannot unilaterally spend state funds for education or any other purpose without a legislative appropriation, so an injunction directed solely at his office would have no effect in achieving the relief plaintiffs seek,” he wrote.

The plaintiffs seek more funds from the state treasury to the local school districts, which Ioppolo says confirms that the sovereign immunity bar applies.

“This suit specifically seeks to override the legislature’s exclusive constitutional authority to decide how much money should be spent on public education (and other public purposes) during a fiscal year. How the Court could apply a judicially-manageable standard to determine what that amount should be, or how the Court would evaluate additional amounts the legislature would approve, is left undefined. Nowhere in the complaint do the districts seek a particular dollar amount,” he wrote.

Ioppolo also argues that the plaintiffs don’t have the standing to sue on behalf of the students.

“They are responsible for delivering an education, but cannot assert the rights of persons receiving the education. None of the plaintiffs in this case are students or their parents,” he wrote.

The districts rely on the School Code, which states that districts may stand in the relation of parents in matters pertaining to discipline and conduct of the schools.

“The ability of teachers and staff to impose discipline does not mean that school districts have the general right to sue on behalf of students for alleged violations of the students’ constitutional rights. The statute is limited to matters of discipline in the daily operation of schools, and does not confer standing on school districts to maintain a suit of this type,” Ioppolo wrote.

He also argues that the State Mandates Act does not advance the plaintiffs’ arguments because their arguments are based on the Education Article.

“This statutory exemption reflects a clear expression by the legislature that if local school districts made any curriculum adjustments based on the Learning Standards, they were expected to do so using their existing resources – local sources of funding supplemented by state aid. Local units of government are creatures of state law, and there is no constitutional requirement that there be a Mandates Act in the first place. In any event, that statute has no bearing here on the question of standing or on the merits,” Ioppolo wrote.

Further, the defendants allege Article X, section 1 of the Constitution “does not impose legally enforceable duties on the legislature regarding quality of education and does not create a private right of action which can be enforced in civil litigation against the State.”

“Plaintiffs would have this Court simply reallocate funds, increase the Foundation Level for local school districts, or order the legislature to do so, which would take money from other needs or require the legislature to increase taxes,” Ioppolo wrote. “There is no constitutional basis for relief of that type.”

He also argues that the plaintiffs fail to provide any relevant authority to support their claim that funding disparities constitute a denial of equal protection.

The three-count complaint alleges the defendants adopted more rigorous and expensive learning standards to be universally achieved by every school in the state but have failed to provide adequate funding for districts with a higher concentration of low-income students.

The school districts suing the state are located in St. Clair, Bond, Christian, Fayette, Jersey, Macoupin, Madison, Montgomery and Peoria Counties.

The Madison and St. Clair County school districts suing the state include Wood River-Hartford School District Number 15, Bethalto Community Unit School District Number 8 and Cahokia Unit School District Number 187.

St. Clair County Circuit Court case number 17-CH-301

SPRINGFIELD - A magistrate judge granted a AutoZone's motion to seal documents after denying the plaintiff the same right because the defendant's motion was the only one pending when he addressed the issue. 

Without prejudice, magistrate judge Doug Wilkerson denied the request filed by plaintiffs Steve Williamson and Rhonda Christine LeMaster, on behalf of themselves and likewise litigants.  They filed the motion regarding employment statements from AutoZone, Inc. employees Scott Brack and Larry Arthur, which the big brand auto service deemed “non-public, proprietary and commercially sensitive business information,” according to the ruling.

The plaintiffs argued that AutoZone could not prove that the documents in fact did hold trade secrets. 

They also argued "that the AutoZone Defendants’ motion is moot insofar as they forfeited confidentiality claims when they produced the relevant documents without ever requesting a protective order from the Court,” Wilkerson wrote.

After finding that the plaintiffs failed to file a sur-reply "setting forth any argument to the contrary," Wilkerson stated that the issue must be addressed. 

“A review of the docket in this matter demonstrates a concerning practice insofar as the parties have filed various documents under seal without seeking permission from this Court,” he wrote.

“Although the Court recognizes Plaintiffs’ representation that a page of said report is subject to Protective Order, such circumstance does not require, or necessarily allow, that the document be filed under seal,” he added.

Wilkerson explained that while both parties filed all of their exhibits in support of their motion for class certification under seal, only AutoZone's motion was pending when the issue was addressed. 

Wilkerson wrote that the Court should “allow the exhibits filed under seal in support of Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and the AutoZone Defendants’ memorandum in opposition to remain sealed.” 

He ordered the parties to reintroduce all public record exhibits for review.

The Wood River Township and its assessor answered a former employee’s wrongful termination complaint arguing that they are entitled to immunity when performing discretionary duties for an "at-will employee."

Former employee Sheena Howard filed the lawsuit against the Township and Assessor Sandy Shaw, alleging violations of her First Amendment right to freedom of speech and association with the Illinois Whistleblowers’ Act.

She claims she expressed opposition to the practice of requiring political involvement and was fired in retaliation for speaking up about it.

The Wood River Township and Shaw answered the complaint on Sept. 7 through attorney Matthew Kelly of Schrempf, Kelly & Napp Ltd. in Alton.

The defendants denied the allegations against them and asserted eight affirmative defenses against Howard.

They argue that they are entitled to immunity in connection with the performance of discretionary duties.

They also argue that the plaintiff’s alleged conduct “is too far removed from the issues of political speech or affiliation to be protected conduct.”

The defendants claim Howard failed to mitigate her alleged damages by failing to make reasonable efforts to obtain appropriate employment.

They also argue that Howard “was an at-will employee with no reasonable expectation of continued employment” and failed to exhaust her administrative remedies.

Howard replied to the defendants’ affirmative defenses on Sept. 13 through attorney Jack Daugherty of the Law Office of Keith Short PC in Collinsville.

She denies the allegations and “demands strict proof thereof.”

She also requests the court to strike or deny the affirmative defenses.

In her complaint, Howard alleges Shaw convened a meeting of employees sometime before a March 15 fundraiser to instruct workers to sell fundraiser tickets or to buy at least two tickets.

Howard claims she expressed her opposition at an office meeting on March 30 and was later written up by Shaw.

She further alleges that on April 20, a note was added to her personnel file warning of possible termination if she “keeps taking off,” even though she claims she never used more sick time or time off than what she was allotted.

Howard was terminated June 1 and received nine hours of unused sick pay, the suit states.

She claims she was terminated because of her political affiliation and for refusing to contribute money to, or solicit money for, candidates or causes that she did not agree with.

She seeks at least $50,000 for lost wages and $50,000 for pain and suffering, as well as punitive damages and costs.

Madison County Circuit Court case number 17-L-1112

Trial began Sept. 18 in Madison County Circuit Judge Andreas Matoesian’s courtroom for a patient’s lawsuit alleging a physician put off an emergency lumbar surgery for too long.

Plaintiff Rita Ford is represented at trial by Brad Lakin and Robert Schmieder of SL Chapman LLC in St. Louis.

Defendants Dr. Theodore Vander Velde and Midwest Radiological Associates are represented by Jeffrey Glass and Jason Winslow of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP in Belleville.

Ford filed her original complaint May 8, 2015, alleging she woke up at home on Oct. 25, 2013, with “incapacitating low back pain and discomfort.” She claims she couldn’t walk due to weakness and pain.

She alleges “numbness and a tingling sensation” stretched from her feet to her lower back.

After an ambulance took her to Alton Memorial Hospital, family members asked emergency room personnel to perform a lumbar MRI, but they were allegedly told that her own doctor would have to order it, the suit states.

Three days later, Ford claims she met with Dr. Guy Aton at his practice and was still experiencing the same symptoms.

Aton allegedly prescribed pain medication but ordered no neurosurgical consultation. He did, however, order an MRI, the lawsuit states.

The next day, Ford’s MRI was taken and Vander Velde allegedly read and interpreted the scan. In his report, “he did not include any reference to any signs or indications of possible infectious processes then ongoing and did not recommend an immediate neurosurgical consult or immediate follow-up.”

Ford’s MRI was forwarded back to Aton by Vander Velde. Ford alleges her family contacted Aton to inform him that her pain medication was not working. He allegedly prescribed her higher dosages but still didn’t order a consult, the complaint states.

Then on Nov. 25, Ford claims she went to a neurosurgeon at St. Luke’s Hospital, who reviewed the MRI. The next day, the neurosurgeon allegedly performed emergency lumbar surgery to repair what was learned to be an epidural abscess.

Ford recovered for a week at St. Luke’s, then went through two rehabilitation facilities until she was cleared for released on Feb. 19, 2014, the suit states.

She alleges Vander Velde failed to appreciate the clear signs and indications of a possible infectious, hemorrhagic or neoplastic process; failed to properly and appropriately interpret the lumbar MRI scan; failed to recommend an immediate neurosurgical consult or follow-up; and failed to communicate what should have been “critical imaging findings” to the ordering physician. 

Ford filed a first amended complaint Sept. 1, 2016.

The defendants answered the amended complaint on the first day of trial. 

They deny liability and argue that the plaintiff’s alleged injuries were “not directly or proximately caused by act or omissions by these Defendants, but rather were the sole proximate result of an independent, intervening cause of which these Defendants had no control and which were not known or reasonably foreseeable by these Defendants.”

Aton and BJC Medical Group of Illinois were also named defendants in the original lawsuit.

They were dismissed from the suit June 28, 2016.

Madison County Circuit Court case number 15-L-582

EDWARDSVILLE – Unlike the 1995 movie "The Bridges of Madison County," there is no glamour in Illinois’ real state of affairs, according to the Edwardsville Mayor Dr. Hal Patton, who recently announced his run for a state senate seat.

Recently voted the least legitimate legal climate in the country with a 35-year incumbent house speaker dominating the state, something has to change today, according to Patton, who told The Record he is leaving his post early in Edwardsville to run for the 56th District seat soon to be vacated by incumbent Bill Haines. Haines announced last month he is retiring after winning the seat in 2002.

“The mayoral election preceded the senate race by almost two years and I was hoping politicians in Springfield would have solved some of our state's most serious issues by now,” Patton said. "Unfortunately, our state is still on a path of financial ruin and it will take experienced leadership to claw our way out of the massive hole that has been dug.”

Patton points out the real-life change he has helped make along the bridges of Madison County. 

“I would encourage voters to drive through our community and look at our clean streets, our public improvement projects, the responsiveness of our city employees, the new investment, and the results of our public officials' collective efforts. This is the type of effort and results I would bring to our entire district and state if elected as our next senator,” he said.

However, it will be a challenge - a feat Patton said he is ready to fight. 

“I feel that our city and cities around this state are being pulled down by burdens created in Springfield. I have never been one to sit on the sideline or shy away from a challenge,” he said. 

He added that the top three issues to address are jobs, education and pension reform.

“We must create an environment where businesses are willing to invest in Illinois,” he said. As for education, “school districts, universities and community colleges need to have predictable resources from the state and be affordable to all of those who are willing to work hard.” 

Pension reform would be one of the top three issues the mayor said are in need of change. 

“Hundreds of applications are received for a single public sector job opening. The lucrative benefits and perks of public sector jobs have outpaced those of the private sector and this must be addressed,” he said. 

Patton’s 23-year self-employment as a dentist and 19-year pubic service set him apart from other possible candidates, said the husband and father of three. 

“I know how to build a strong team, I know how balance budgets and meet payroll, and I know how to care for patients and residents in need,” he said.

His awareness of health care waste also sets him apart, Patton said. He added that he has seen waste in spending and Medicaid. 

“Illinois wastes hundreds of millions each year on poor management. We fail to push preventative programs and need to insist on participation in wellness programs like progressive companies and insurers are using across the nation to reduce costs. I think it is important to have a healthcare provider's insight in Springfield,” Patton said.

The Record has previously reported that Madison County prosecutor Rachelle Aud Crowe is also running for the seat in the Democratic Primary.
