Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Guilty Pleas
Court denied Defendant's motion to withdraw his plea to unlawful possession of a stolen motor vehicle. One PD prepared and filed motion to withdraw plea, and Rule 604(d) certificate, and continued to represent Defendant throughout proceedings; additional PD later assisting with representation was not required to file new 604(d) certificate. Certificate's language that she consulted with Defendant by mail "and/or" in person is not deficient; no requirement that counsel must specify precisely type of communication with Defendant. (BIRKETT, concurring; JORGENSEN, specially concurring.)
