Court did not err in denying Defendant leave to file succcessive postconviction petition. Because Defendant was no longer serving any portion of his sentence when he file motion for leave to file a successive postconviction petition, he had no standing to seek postconviction relief. Any restrictions on Defendant based on his status as a sex offender are not part of his sentence or otherwise an actual restraint arising from his conviction, but are instead collateral consequences of his conviction. (MIKVA and CUNNINGHAM, concurring.)
