Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Appellate Jurisdiction
Because Defendant, who pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance, did not file a timely Rule 604(d) motion after his guilty plea, trial court retained jurisdiction only to "correct clerical errors or matters of form", including to consider Defendant's motion to amend mittimus, but not to review any substantive issue. However, that jurisdiction does not automatically extend to the appellate court. Trial court's order denying motion to amend mittimus is not a final order for purposes of appeal. Thus, because Defendant filed no Rule 604(d) motion, appellate court has no jurisdiction to review that order denying motion. (TURNER and STEIGMANN, concurring.)
