People v. Gorss

This case presents question as to whether defendant’s trial counsel failed to comply with Rule 604(d)’s certificate requirement, where counsel failed to indicate in certificate that he consulted with defendant about any contentions of error in defendant’s guilty plea. Appellate Court, in affirming defendant’s conviction, found that counsel had sufficiently complied with said requirement where certificate stated that defendant did not desire to withdraw his guilty plea. In his petition for leave to appeal, defendant argued that statement that he did not desire to withdraw his guilty plea did not confirm that any consultation took place.
