text: collecting a rico judgment? my friend who i am working with has been attempting to collect on a default judgment in federal court. the judge is stonewalling the entire case claiming that he 'closed' the case. he is trying to block a legal conclusion to the case. the 6th circuit has been no help after we filed a mandamus in which the judge defaulted and never answered, he only sent in a certified copy of the docket sheet pertaining to the case, the sixth circuit still ruled in favor of the district judge. no one wants to go by the rules of civil procedure or even recognise that its law. the case law we argued to defend our position went uncontested. i am hoping an attorney might be interested in giving advice or even taking this case on. the internet is an excellent venue for your quest for justice.
