Defendant was immediately sentenced to 6 years of imprisonment after his conviction for unlawful delivery of a controlled substance, but mittimus was stayed for 5 1/2 months while he was allowed on bond to receive treatment. Mittimus issued when Defendant failed to comply with terms of his bond. Court was enforcing its judgment, and retained jurisdiction to do so, when mittimus issued. Case remanded for further postplea proceedings, as defense counsel's Supreme Court Rule 604(d) certificate was inadequate as defense counsel failed to certify that he had consulted with Defendant about any possible contentions of error in his guilty plea and failed to certify that he had examined report of proceedings of plea.(O'BRIEN, concurring; WRIGHT< specially concurring.)
