Vacated and remanded.
Justice:

Defendant pled guilty to aggravated DUI, and was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. Attorney's certificate did not strictly comply with Rule 604(d), as it omitted any reference to Defendant's contentions of error in the sentence, even though motion to withdraw plea and to reconsider sentence included a request to reconsider the sentence. Motion primarily raised a sentencing issue that defense counsel promised that he would receive sentence of 8 to 10 years. (HUTCHINSON and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
