State appealed from a circuit court order granting summary judgment in favor of the defendant in a summary suspension of a driver’s license proceeding after the court rendered facts admitted when the State failed to respond to SCR 216 requests to admit facts. State argued that as a matter of law it could not respond to a request to admit. The appellate court affirmed, finding the State’s Attorney has the authority to respond to requests to admit pursuant to the executive authority vested in the office. (O’BRIEN and HOLDRIDGE, concurring)
