No. 110089
District: 
2nd Dist. Rule 23 Order.
This case presents question as to whether trial court properly denied defendant's motion to reconsider sentence after defendant had entered into negotiated guilty plea where Appellate Court had initially remanded issue back to trial court due to failure by defendant's trial counsel to file certificate of compliance with Rule 604(d), and where, on remand, trial counsel filed Rule 604(d) certificate, but did not file new postjudgment motion and relied on original postjudgment motion. Appellate Court, in remanding matter back to trial court, found that proceedings in initial remand did not comply with Rule 604(d) since trial counsel had failed to file new postjudgment motion.
