7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Robert M. Kowalski v. Shauna Boliker, et al.
Case No.: 17-1952
Officials: WOOD, Chief Judge, and FLAUM and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Court Error – Abuse of Discretion
Robert Kowalski is dissatisfied with his treatment by judges and sheriff’s personnel during his divorce proceedings. He especially accuses an Illinois judge, Shauna Boliker, of engaging in extrajudicial efforts designed to prejudice the state court against him and in favor of her best friend, Kowalski’s wife. While Kowalski’s allegations are troubling, in the end we conclude that the district court was correct to dismiss his case.
