Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Juvenile Sentencing
Court entered order adjudicating Respondent minor a habitual juvenile offender (HJO) and a violent juvenile offender (VJO), and sentencing him to Department of Juvenile Justice until age 21. Juvenile's failure to file timely notice of appeal deprived appellate court of jurisdiction to consider any issues arising from either his guilty plea or his sentence, including challenge to sufficiency of admonishments given at time of his 2013 guilty plea. HJO and VJO mandatory sentencing provisions do not violate eighth amendment or Illinois proportionate penalties clause. (HARRIS, concurring; CONNORS, specially concurring.)
