Defendant entered negotiated guilty plea to aggravated discharge of firearm with sentence of 6 1/2 years, but alleged in postconviction petition that judge failed to adequately inform him that he would be required to serve 2 years MSR in addition. Court properly dismissed Defendant's petition, as during plea hearing, even though judge did not mention MSR in imposing sentence, the judge notified him that any period of incarceration would be followed by period of MSR of 2 years after discharge from DOC, and Defendant had acknowledged his understanding of it. (MURPHY and NEVILLE, concurring.)
