Affirmed.
Justice: 
POPE
Court properly denied Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea to unlawful delivery of a controlled substance. Court informed Defendant, per Rule 402(a), that two counts were Class X felonies with sentence ranges 6-30 years; and court explained difference between concurrent and consecutive sentences, as State informed court it would seek consecutive sentences. Substantial, not literal compliance with Rule 402(a) is required, and thus court was not required to admonish Defendant that he was subject to 60 years in prison. (KNECHT and TURNER, concurring.)
