People v. Reyes

This case presents question as to whether trial court properly denied defendant’s petition to revoke previously imposed fines under section 5-9-2 of Corrections Code. Appellate Court rejected defendant’s claim that trial court erred in ruling on his petition before 30 days had elapsed from date he filed instant petition and noted that fact that ruling was made prior to State filing any response did not constitute due process violation with respect to defendant. Appellate Court further found that denial of defendant’s petition was proper, since: (1) section 5-9-2 applies only to discretionary penal fines; and (2) none of fines at issue in his petition were discretionary.
