Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Sexually Violent Persons
(Modified 11/4/11 upon denial of rehearing.) State sought involuntary commitment of Respondents under Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act. Court denied Respondents' petitions for fitness exam to determine if Respondents were fit and, if not, whether they could be restored to fitness. Respondents do not have a right to fitness evaluation under statutory language of Act and do not have a due process right to fitness evaluation. Court is without inherent authority to order fitness evaluation. (GARCIA and McBRIDE, concurring.)
