Illinois Supreme Court
Civil Court
Sentencing
In original action for a writ of prohibition, Petitioner asks Supreme Court to issue an order to prohibit Respondent judge from conducting a sentencing hearing or any other action in the underlying criminal case, where jury convicted Petitioner of 2 counts of violations of Timber Buyers Licensing Act. Petitioner failed to establish that the normal appellate process would not afford an adequate remedy or will cause him irremediable harm. Complaint does not present an issue important to the administration of justice. (KARMEIER, THOMAS, and THEIS, concurring; KILBRIDE, BURKE, and NEVILLE, dissenting.)
