People v. Palomar

Defendant, who was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated domestic battery appealed from a trial court order granting the State’s petition for pretrial release. At issue on the appeal was the appellate court’s scope of review where defendant checked boxes on the notice of appeal form but did not further explain the basis of his claims or file a supporting memorandum. The State argue that the appeal should be dismissed. The appellate court declined to summarily dismiss the appeal and reviewed the limited record available to it, but determined that the record failed to show an error in the trial court proceedings. (SCHOSTOK and MULLEN, concurring)
