I refuse to downplay my intelligence... to make you comfortable with your ignorance: Friday, May 23, 2025

Friday, May 23, 2025

This photograph was taken in 1900. The woman in front wasn't a nanny or a maid — she was one of the personal bodyguards of the King of Dahomey, an ancient West African kingdom (modern-day Benin) famed for its fierce female warriors: the Dahomey Amazons.

Standing over 2.5 meters tall, according to reports of the time, she was said to lift a grown man with one arm and possessed strength and endurance that bordered on mythical. Her skill in combat was legendary.

Yet, colonial exoticism tried to reduce her to a spectacle. The British press wrote of her as though she were a sideshow attraction: “This dark-skinned beauty… will soon visit our major cities,” they reported, failing to recognize they were witnessing not a curiosity, but a living legend.

Her name was Ella Abomah Williams — also known as Mme Abomah — and history has largely forgotten her. But her story reminds us that true heroines often walk among us, unseen by those who don’t know how to truly look.

COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST JUDGE KATHY FLANNAGAN
HOW DID YOU GET ACCESS TO MY CASE???

5. In the space below, specifically describe the factual details concerning your claim against the judge.

IN THE JUDICIAL INQUIRY BOARD OF ILLINOIS
Complaint Against Judge Kathy M. Flanagan (#267)

Complainant:
Chyvette A. Valentine

Respondent:
Judge Kathy M. Flanagan (#267)
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois
County Department – Law Division
50 W. Washington Street
Chicago, IL 60602

COMPLAINT FOR JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT

Violation of Judicial Assignment Procedures, Abuse of Authority, and Improper Dismissal of Case

1. Plaintiff, Chyvette A. Valentine, files this complaint pursuant to Illinois Supreme Court Rule 63 (Canon 3) and the authority granted to the Judicial Inquiry Board of Illinois to review misconduct and ethical violations committed by sitting judges.

2. The matter concerns Cook County Case No. 2024L002166, Valentine v. Scottie M. Pippen, Jason Giller, et al., originally assigned to Judge Maire Dempsey, not Judge Kathy M. Flanagan.

3. On or around May 2, 2025, Judge Kathy M. Flanagan, who was not the assigned judge to this matter, entered an order of Dismissal for Want of Prosecution (DWP) despite no appearance by Defendants, no attorney of record, and no notice to Plaintiff of any hearing scheduled on that date.

4. Plaintiff had a properly filed and pending Motion for Default Judgment With Prejudice and Prove-Up of Damages, which was scheduled to be heard on May 22, 2025, before Judge Maire Dempsey, the assigned judge on the matter per court records.

5. By entering an order without jurisdiction or assignment, Judge Flanagan exceeded the limits of judicial authority and violated established court assignment procedures. This constitutes judicial overreach and violates due process protections under both Illinois law and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

6. Plaintiff further alleges that this improper dismissal continues a pattern of collusion and political interference, consistent with the factual allegations outlined in Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Judgment. Specifically:

Plaintiff has alleged that Defendant Scottie Pippen has a longstanding history of using his political connections including Governor JB Pritzker, Congressman Danny Davis, and others to interfere with Plaintiff’s housing, employment, legal access, and public credibility.
These defamatory statements and tactics have been directed toward pastors, judges, lawyers, employers, landlords, politicians, business associates, social media influencers, entertainment executives, gig platforms, and law enforcement, with malicious intent to isolate Plaintiff socially and financially.

7. Plaintiff asserts that Judge Flanagan’s action entering an order without assignment or notice constitutes not only an unauthorized judicial act but also contributes to the ongoing denial of access to justice and procedural due process.

8. Plaintiff has filed an Amended Emergency Motion to Vacate the Dismissal Order, and continues to seek reinstatement of her Complaint and a hearing on the pending motion for default judgment.

RELIEF REQUESTED

Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Judicial Inquiry Board or relevant supervisory authority:

A. Conduct an independent investigation into Judge Flanagan’s conduct and determine whether judicial assignment procedures and ethical duties were violated.

B. Determine whether Judge Flanagan had lawful authority or proper assignment to act in Case No. 2024L002166.

C. Issue findings and, if warranted, recommend disciplinary action, censure, or sanctions as appropriate under Illinois judicial conduct standards.

D. Recommend that all orders entered by Judge Flanagan without jurisdiction or assignment be declared void ab initio; and

E. Provide such other and further relief as deemed just and appropriate in the interests of justice and judicial integrity.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Chyvette A. Valentine

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS

COUNTY DEPARTMENT – LAW DIVISION

CHYVETTE A. VALENTINE,

Plaintiff,

SCOTTIE M. PIPPEN, JASON GILLER, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 2024L002166

Judge: Hon. Kathy Flanagan

AMENDED EMERGENCY MOTION TO VACATE ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR WANT OF PROSECUTION (DWP):

CONTEST HEARING HELD WITHOUT NOTICE, NO DEFENDANT APPEARANCE, NO ATTORNEY OF RECORD, AND THREATS MADE IN OPEN COURT

NOW COMES the Plaintiff, CHYVETTE A. VALENTINE, pro se, pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2-1203 and Illinois Supreme Court Rules 11, 12, 13, and 183, and respectfully moves this Honorable Court to VACATE the Order of Dismissal for Want of Prosecution (DWP) entered on or about May 2, 2025. In support thereof, Plaintiff states as follows:

I. NO NOTICE OF HEARING – VIOLATION OF DUE PROCESS

Plaintiff was not provided with any notice—oral, written, mailed, or electronic—of any scheduled hearing on or around the date the DWP was entered.

The docket reflects no notice of hearing or court-generated notice to Plaintiff that her matter would be heard.

The entry of a DWP without notice is a blatant due process violation under the Fourteenth Amendment and violates Illinois Supreme Court Rule 11.

Plaintiff’s absence was not voluntary—it was induced by lack of notice. Such an order is void ab initio and must be vacated.

II. DEFENDANTS FAILED TO APPEAR, ANSWER, OR FILE AN APPEARANCE

Defendant Scottie Pippen was personally served by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on December 18, 2024. His deadline to respond was January 21, 2025.

Defendant Jason Giller was served via email on October 13, 2024, with verified documentation. He had until November 12, 2024 to respond.

To date, no appearance, no answer, and no motion have been filed by any Defendant.

This case was procedurally ripe for default judgment prove-up—not dismissal.

III. NO ATTORNEY OF RECORD – WHO WAS THE COURT SPEAKING TO?

If any individual purported to speak for the Defendants, such action was unauthorized and unlawful under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 13(c), which prohibits attorney participation without a filed appearance.

The Court record does not reflect any filed appearance by counsel for any Defendant. Thus, no individual or firm had standing to represent or address the Court on behalf of any party.

IV. THREATS IN OPEN COURT – PUBLIC SAFETY AND JUDICIAL CONDUCT CONCERN

Plaintiff places on record that a statement or conduct occurred on or around the date of the dismissal hearing that Plaintiff reasonably interpreted as a veiled threat or act of intimidation.

Plaintiff takes such conduct seriously and reserves all rights to report the incident to law enforcement, the Judicial Inquiry Board, or media if further suppression or intimidation tactics are used.

V. LEGAL STANDARD FOR VACATUR

A DWP may be vacated under 735 ILCS 5/2-1301(e) or 5/2-1203 for mistake, inadvertence, lack of notice, or excusable neglect.

See Gillespie v. Chrysler Motors Corp., 135 Ill. 2d 363 (1990) (reversing DWP where notice was defective).

In this case, Plaintiff was deprived of notice, Defendants were in default, and no attorney was authorized to speak or participate. The order is procedurally and constitutionally flawed.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court:

A. VACATE the Dismissal for Want of Prosecution entered on or about May 2, 2025;

B. REINSTATE Plaintiff’s Complaint to the active docket;

C. STRIKE any unauthorized communication or conduct by non-appearing or non-retained parties;

D. SET a hearing on Plaintiff’s pending Motion for Default Judgment With Prejudice and Prove-Up of Damages;

E. INVESTIGATE or sanction any person who made threats or unauthorized statements in open court; and

F. Grant such other and further relief as this Honorable Court deems just and proper.

Stop Running... Filed 9/7/2022 into which case?

Served August 5, 2020

Dear Scottie,

Thank you for showing me the truth about the people around you. While you may think you're affecting me, the reality is that you've done me a favor. You've surrounded yourself with people who hold no value in my life, and that's become clear to me now.

I’ve faced a lot, and while the loss of property is disappointing, I’m confident that I will recover and replace everything I’ve lost. You may have a hard time understanding this, but your attempts to remain relevant in my life mean nothing to me, especially without my son. Please stop overstating your importance in my life. We did not have a relationship, and the time we spent together meant very little to me. I was there to keep you company for the team, and you couldn’t handle me then. Now, you would be lost.

Thank you for inadvertently helping me identify those who were not truly on my side. I will continue to pursue my dreams and build my business. It’s important for you to know that I am not seeking you out—I wasn’t looking for you when I found you, and that remains true today.

I am no longer involved with Chris Brown or any of the activities you seem to enjoy. I am focused on my own path and have no interest in interfering with yours. You may have forgotten who I am and what I stand for, but let me remind you: I am a professional, and I will not be manipulated. The NBA cannot capitalize on me—I am not their puppet, and I never will be.

Please understand that I do not fear you, and I never will. I know who I am and what I’m capable of. I urge you to respect that and not push me further.

I wish you peace and clarity in your life.

Stay blessed.
