People v. Johnson

This case presents question as to whether trial court properly assessed $50 State's Attorney fee after finding that defendant's section 2-1401 petition to review his sentence was frivolous. Appellate Court affirmed said assessment, but defendant argued in his petition for leave to appeal that said assessment was improper since statute allowing for assessment of State's Attorney fee (55 ILCS 5/4-2002.1(a)) did not expressly mention section 2-1401 petitions as being subject to said fee.
