Thursday, December 17, 2015
District: 
1st Dist.

Cook Co.
Holding: 
Appellate court affirmed.
Justice: 
THOMAS

In a juvenile delinquency case, no Illinois Supreme Court Rules allow a minor to appeal an order continuing the case under supervision, when the order is entered after a finding of guilty. Order continuing respondent’s case under supervision, although entered after a finding of guilty, was not a final, appealable order, and thus appellate court was without jurisdiction to consider appeal.  (GARMAN, KILBRIDE, KARMEIER, and THEIS, concurring; BURKE, dissenting.)
