Justice: 
MOORE

Pro se petition for tax deed alleged that Petitioner had purchased delinquent real estate taxes as to certain parcel. Court issued order directing issuance of tax deed. Section 2-1203 of Code of Civil Procedure allows only parties to move for postjudgment relief. Thus, Section 2-1203 motion to vacate filed by a nonparty was a nullity and did not extend time for filing notice of appeal to 30 days after the order disposing of it. (SCHWARM adn GOLDENHERSH, concurring.)
